William S. Pettit, chairman of tba Supervisors' Committee of Taxei, at
the flrst meeting, he'd at the Court >?"• •*. ^'T^Ti*^- 11'^'!^ i?'."*'*^ *" House, outlined the foUowing sugges- ticns:
"The woiTc that thia committee is called npon to perform ia of the great¬ est importance to tbe peop'e of Nas¬ sau County; and to tbe munic'pality aho. It cannot be solved hastily. There ia no municipality in America that has an entirely aatisfactory Tax Sales Law.
"In my mind, the primary defect of our present law is the divesting of the tit'e of a property owner without mak¬ ing any attempt to give him actual no¬ tice of the fact that hia property has been sold for taxes. All the other evils, such as extortion.on the part of the purchasers, flow from this oni; Treat defect. The seco-.id defect in redemption is so -.hort that it encaur- :iges those wl|io have extortion in their hearts to buy.
"In working out the prob'em, we must keep in mind that there are Lhree parties primarily affected, some¬ times four. First, the munlc pality. the second the owner, and third the investor or purchaser at the tax sale, and the fourth frequently the mort- ?agee. The municipality must ha.-; money to carry on the governmen'il 3xpanses. Its debts must be paid promptly. If the taxes are not paid, the municipality must borrow. It rep resents primarily the proparty owners who are delinquents, for they are thj ones who suffer by the delinquency of othars.    Having  in   mind,   first,  the

Maine grown seed potatoes have al¬ ways been used by C. E. Schwarting, a large farmer of Wantagh. This year he ran short and being unable to secure more, flniahed up his planting with some of his own seed. He did not expect much, but was happily sur¬ prised when he found at digging time his own seed yielded more potatoes cf much better quality and color than the certified spuds from Maine.
Another Wantagh farmer has dis¬ covered the process cf reducing the height of the ears on the stalks, and has succeeded in dropping the position of the ear about two feet He is D. H. Reinke and claims that with the ears nearer the ground on high stakes, which have their advantages on ac¬ count of the fodder, it is easier to har¬ vest and does not blow down. For several years Farmer Reinke has been using seed coiM from the West and .t was a gocd yie der, but the ears grew very high on the stalks. Last year he selected the ears that grew low and saved them for sead and it resulted in reducing^, the height.
That sweet potatoes can be raised on the south slda of Long Island was demonitrated by Peter Elar, a Free- port policeman, this season.   He plant-
d 20 hills and the yied was two and one-half bushels. They are much larg-
r in size a-.id cooked dryer than those he purchased at the stores, which were said to have been grown in the Caro¬ lina*.
Memorial Serrice for
Former Freeport Resident
An unusual occurrence happened in Damiemora Prison last Sunday when •» memorial aervice was held for Peter Meyer. Eight lads from the outside town led the singing and not a dry aye could be found among the gather¬ ing. They spoke kindly of hia gent'e and thoughtful mannera and said he would never be forgotten there, or hia place ever filled. He died with his hand in the chaplain's, still profeaaing hia innocence and hia willingness to face his Maker, whom he had always trofted and believed in.
Mr. Meyer had lived in Preeport for several years, was of exemplary hab¬ its, and no one wbo knew him believed him ffuilty of the charge on which he waa eent to prison on the •evidence of mUitary poliee.

Three Get Awards
At Farm School
At the regular meeting of the Board of Tnwtee* of th* New York State ^hool af AgrieaHare at Farmingdale, ] 'he adiolara were summoried to the aa- tembly room, where thev were ad- ] Ireoaed by WlHiam M. Baldwin, treaa¬ arer of thi Board, who eompMmeoited *%em on the remarkable werk they are tnlng. and the progresa they have -TMde.
He then pre«ented two-year scholar- xhips and $103 in roM, rewarda fer -^«^d wrk. to Herhert F. Scheffer. ¦lew York City: B-adford K. So'rthard
f Freeport. and Abrahsm G'n-ber? of IrooVlyn. These awards are the per- icnal drifts of Mr. Ba'dwlti.
The awarding of nrizes has worked ve'l hi the rch-o' th's yesr. the fir^t
'me snch awards have been    mada
irc9 ite orran'z^tibn, and in a'l pr-)b- 'bil'tv there will be    several    more
cho'ar-hips offered for the c^min" [ -ear.   The school is offering exd'ent 1
nportnn't'es for young men and vri j -n«n dasiring pract'cal as wsU as tec'i
way the taxes that delinquents havo I of Dickins, "The Christmas Carol," at either neglected, or refused to pay. —
We must, therefore, devise a law that will enable the municipality to either sell the tax lien or to sell the tax cer¬ tificate at public sale. After it is sold and the county receives the money, the county is no longer primarily in¬ terested in the tax lien, or tax certifi¬ cate. It is, however, interested in the prompt payment of future taxes on the same property. Therefore, the law must make some provision for the payment of future taxes and penalties thereon on that property in order to prevent a delinqneney on 'the same property year after year.
"Having studied the tax laws of practically every State in the Union, and most of the cities and counties, I have come to the conclusion that what may be a perfect Tax Sales Law n one community will be an utter fail- are in another community, due to the difference in the c'ass of proparty sold, in the assessed valuation and ac¬ tual value of the proparty sold, etc. The Lien Law is a succass in New Ycrk City. It appaars to be a failure ¦-1 other places where the community has many low-pricad lots. Whether we adopt the Lien Law or tha trans¬ fer cf the fee, in either event we jhonld extend the time of redemptioii 1 should say, to five years, with .» graduated penalty. A certain penal¬ ty at the end of one year, a second penalty at the end of two years, etc, a-.id at the tax sale the purchaser in¬ stead of purchaaing a fraction of the property, such as they do in Nassau County, a perfect absurdity upon its face, then caa bid to take the property or the lien at the least interest; that is, they will bid down the interest This is done now in New York on tho lien law.
"It occur* to me that we might con¬ sider tbe preposition of the county be¬ coming one of the investors. There is IM reaaon why the Coanty itaelf ahould not be the purehaaer on the aame baaia aa an individaal.
"There are other mattera to con¬ sider, auch aa re-advertiaing property that ia beugfat in by the County. Under our preaent tax law, we will ultinuktely have the namea and ad- d^saea of every property owner. This however, will take aeveral years to ae- compliah unlea* we have a apecial clerk wh* ia employed to do nothing elae but aoeertain the namea and ad dreasea of the property ownera. Such a c'erk might be attached to the Coan¬ ty Treasorer^a OlBce. Of conrae, we shoald aloe diacass the queation of having a Bureau of Aaaeaamenta and' /T"'* Arrears. Every tax bill that ia ren-'**^"*' dered shoald kave a statement on the front thereef that either that the proporty has been so'd for taxee or that there are arreara."

Propositions as to the form of the memorial were presented and talked over informally, including a tahlet or memorial stone, a public library and a public hall, but it was agreed that no action shou'd be taken in a hurr>' and a committee of pan and scop? was appointed by the chair, to meet every Friday evening, at the Freeport Club, for farther consideration, ani when they have the matter in shape for further consideration a genera" meeting will be called, not later than January 15. The members of the com¬ mittee are tha president, secretary, treasurer and E. B. Lent, Moses Fel¬ tenstein, John M. Harrington, Char'e C. Copeiand, Smith F. Pear;all, Sid ney H. Swazay, Elvin N.

The permanent organization will b ¦ known as the World War Memoria! Association , of Freeport. There is truth in the statement in a city daily that "a plan was suggested, which met with the popular approval of those present, to erect a public lib rary to cost at least $50,000 as a me¬ morial to those who fell in the con¬ flict" It might be said there was some sentiment in favor of a library while others favored the monumert and a few a village community cen¬ tre. Neither was there any discubsion as to the amount to be raised, that be¬ ing left until details had been com¬ pleted OS to what should be furnished. The memorial whan erected will he iov all our residents in the service, with special tables or mention of those who died in the Service.

All of the young men physical¬ ly able to perform the duties of de¬ livering the mail were either in ser¬ vice or manufacturing munitions of war. So the postmaster called upon the young women and Miss Ada John¬ son and Miss Gladys Carman, high school girls, about 19, offered their services.

Among those whose case hss come nnder the observation of the So'diers Welfare Association is that of James B. McHugh of Seaford, wh) hsd his foot shot off in the battle of the Somme, was transferred to the War Demonstration Hoapital in New York where he waa again operated apon, and who is now in the Wa'ter Rood Recon'truetion Hospital of Washing¬ ton for final treatment
Courage that make* a  aoldler on the battlefield waa dlstlnct'y exempli¬ fied by Private James B. McH'igh, not on'y in the attack at Somme, but alsa later on when he waa with the Ameri¬ can advance on  the  Soiison-Rheims line, but when is added to this the sterling quality of sacrifice made by him at the operating tab'e    in    aa Am«r'can hospital by the transfusion of hii own b'ood to save the life of a cmrada fast failing, ws begin to real- j izt that he wa" a solder ev«n before j he enlisted in the army, and that the : trie's of batt'e have added oth?r nual- [fties to th«( n'b'e manhood of Privet* : James B.
