'i'he following ajjplications for elec¬ tric light service were granted : Chas. E. Stephens, Roosevelt Place; Chas. Mackay, Smith St.; Thos. Robertson, Smith St.; S. Youdelman,* West%Ier- rick Road. The applications ol Chas. t'onnor. West Pine St., and Wallace Smith, Onslow Place, were granted "as soon as we secure the necessary ma¬ terial.'.'
The matter of one-third cash credit on construL'tion of cement sidewalks was again discussed and acted upon. Counselor Fishel advised the Board that it was within their jiower to limit the amount apportioned to each ajipli- cant, in accordance with which they fixed the limit at 90 running ft., and in- sructed the clerk to advise all appli¬ cants for more than this amount that their applications must be amended. This will allow any person putting down a sidewalk of 99 ft. or over a credit of $21.(50. There has been con¬ siderable discussion as to the proper way of settling this matter but it seems to be the general opinion that the Board has done the best it could with a hard proposition.
At a previous meeting Counselor Fishel was instructed to consult with Police Justice Swezey and suggest any amendments needed to the Village or¬ dinances. It was stated that one of the village officers was claiming the laws were not such as he thought with his knowledge of the Code a person could be punished under. Counselor Fishel reported that he had gone over the ordinances very carefully and was willing to stanch back of any case brought up under any of them.
In compliance with a request from the Town Board of Assessors it was decided to make the gas company or any other concern making exteni.son of pipes, poles or wires in the Village limits tile with the Board a map showing the extensions and connec¬ tions.
It was decided to instruct Smith & Malcomson to start with the pre¬ liminary work of a survey of the vil¬ lage including the making of grade maps and the placing of stone monu¬ ments.
.\ resolution was passed prohibiting any plumber, ga.'? titter, electrician or any other person or concern to open any village street. Hereafter any openings for connections must be made by the Street Commissioner, after ap¬ plication by the party desiring the work, within twenty-four hours after auplication is made; the fee for this \pfrk, to bo paid in advance, is to be $2.00, this to be in addition to the reg¬ ular $2.50 for making a tap when wa¬ ter service is wanted.
Street Commissioner Pine waa in¬ structed to serve notice on all offend¬ ing property owners to have limbs of trees abutting their property trimmed to the legal distance at once; all per¬ sons neglecting to do this are guilty of a misdeameanor; the Village Board is in earnest in this matter and unless the trees are fixed aa re<]uired soome one is liable to be brought before Justice Swezey and fined.
The Board audited a large number of routine bills and attended to some regular work and adjourned to next (Viday evening. May 15.
with him', with   the   exception   of   'vV B.   Osterhout   who announced   he   w'as "one   of   the   bin lings  oi   the City." He  didn't   " bel it/e Freeport was get¬ ting very mucJi ex ;ited over this   mat¬ ter."    Said he: "This matter of   infil- ! tration   galleries   is ridiculous."    The j building   of   infiltration   galleries any- I where in the village was   absurd.    He' I wouldn't say but  that   they   might   be i constructed    outside   of    the    village, ' limits.    As to pumping stations   being' put up in the village "anyone ought to know lietter."    .^nd pumping   stations were    a    benefit    anyhow —Where    a! pumping station was now   located   had : formerly been a swamp   but   was   now tillable'land. \
R.   H.   Mayland in reply stated that he was well acquainted with   the   land ; in question; when he was president  of ' the Board of Health   this   property  or! land near it was used for  deposit   pur-; pose by local scavengers.    This in   re¬ ply to Mr. Osterhout's remark that the land was too thickly   settled   and   con- seiiuently contaminated in   the   village limits for sinking of   wells.     In   reply to   Mr.   OsterhouL'.s   remarks   that  no wells   woukl   1)0   sunk in   the   village, i

New Editor Review:
Last Sunday I visited your city ami wish a few remarks of mine to be known to all who do husiness on S. Main St. or even Main St.
Namely: The streets are certainly in a bad condition and had I ijusiness on that busy street 1 certainly would urge myself and neighbors to make it look respectable around those parts.
Hoping above will be considered and be to their interest as well to have a paved street instead of a dust hole.

Very respectfully,

fact that while only one hundred feet is to be taken (if the City authorities, have their way) through the village, just west of Bayview Avenue and East of Henry Street plots nearly three huntlred feet wide are taken, large enough for pumping or infiltration^ plants. i
An addres.ses was made,by (Counselor: Edwin G. Wright of the Rockville Cen¬ tre Board of  Trustees,   who   said   the question   under  discussion   was a very

in   human   nature.     A   man   would be ^
ble to launch a boat till Saturday morn¬ ing owing to the heavy sea. ' When they boanled the boat it was found that she had not sutfered greatly from her accident and was in good condition. The crew stated they were not then in need of aid.
Three tugs are now lying off shore, with huge hawsers attached to the stern of the grounded vessel, which lies head-on. There is also a lighter lying to, which may be used for carrying some <^ the oil back to New Y'ork if she can get close enough to tlie strand¬ ed schooner. In the meantime the crew are busily engaged throwing the cargo overboard. The oil with which the boat was loaded is packed tw.o five- gallon cans in a wooden case, weighing about (>.^> lbs. .All day Monday the sea was (|uite calm and a large fleet of sail boats and power boats went outside and soon filled up with the crates of oil, getting from 10(t cans to as high as 800 or a tliousand cans in a day. This oil is (daime 1 to be a iiure white !<ero- setie, fully equal to rcLHilar "store oil," and it is i)roving a rich harvest for those who have boats with which to get a share of the goods. Tuesday the wind shifted so that lots of the cans floated ashore where they were picked up by the eager searchers as soon as they came within reach. Wednesday the sea^as so rough that only a few boats ventured out and the wind blew fronv a,(]uarter cari-ying the boxes and cans about a half mile off shore and' floating about due West; during the night when the tide shifted the [lK>xe3 again came inshore and another "har¬ vest of oil" was reaoed. Needless to' say, the co^t of oil is now low. The )irice on the beach Tue.sday was as low as tte per can, and lor from 10 to 15c you could have it delivered to your boat, al:out a half mile from the ship. , The usual price on shore at the docks is 2")c per can, at which figure it is eagerly .secured, by dealers and private investors. Si)ecial peddlers are also disposing of it to the householders at 'Id to 40c Jier can, which is a reduction of the regular price of (if) to 70c. with the can thrown i«. At these prices the boatmen are making money, getting as they do from $2r> to $100 worth or more of oil each day.
It is well worth a trip to  the   beat;
to see the vessel, a noble four  mas
ship, one of the   largest   in   existence,
as she lies apparently deep in the sand.
Of  course  she   is not very near  the
