Vets Have Outing
Wednesday afternoon was the day of the annual outing of the Nassau County Veteran Volunteer Firemen's Associa¬ tion at Gordon Ellison's commodious hotel at Point Lookout. From all over the various fire districts came chiefs, ex-chiefs and firemen generally. They first enjoyed one of Ellison's dinners. Seemed as if the host was specially careful about the day's spread, for it was of the best. After the feast the bunch gathered themselves on the var¬ andah and had their pictures "took" by a man named '"Tom", who will doubtless see to it  that  all

The informal inuiiic meeting to dis¬ cuss the question of a new s^wer in Freeport, which was held in room 15 of the Otten Building on Wednesday at cc-r- noon, September 15, was well attended. The meeting was addressed in an inter¬ esting manner by Mr. W. W. Young, a sanitary engineering expert who has built plants for this kind of work in such large places as Reading, Pa.; Baltimore, Md.; White Plains, N. Y.; Bordentown, N. J.; etc. A preliminery route for the proposed sewer had been laid out and was discussed! It covers about eight miles of village streets, the principal ones being Main street, from Seaman avenue to Bedell street; Grove street, from Lena avenue to Atlantic avenue; Ocean avenue, from Seaman avenue td Atlantic avenue; Chm-ch street, the whole length; Brook¬ lyn avenue, from Main street to Grove street; Railroad avenue, from Main street to Grove street; Pine street, from Main street to Long Beach Ave.; Miller avenue, from Atlantic avenue to Front street.
The foregoing is merely a tentative layout, as doubtless other streets of equal importance will be included in the route. It is intended to lay out ten miles of streets.'
After a considerable and lengthy dis¬ cussion, the meeting expresseu its unanimous opinion that a sewer system is necessary for the village of Freeport. A committee was appointed to present to the Village Board, at its next meet¬ ing, a petition requesting a special election for the purpose of voting on a proposition to appropriate the sum of one thousand doUars or that part of it that is found necessary for the purpose of getting together the plans, etc., preparatory to the submission of a proposition for a municipal sewer sys¬ tem. The committee *is composed of Sidney H. Swezey, Roland M. Lamb, Wemer Nygren, A. "C. Johnson, and Emest Randall. This committee was also empowered to arrange for certain meetings to be held within the next two months to discuss more generally the question at issue.
The map of the proposed route is on exhibition at Mr. Lamb's office and can be seen any time by jiersons interested.
One important point in connection with this sewer question is that there will be no damage done to the oyster and clamming industries, and there will be absolutely no odor. It must be ap¬ proved hy the State Board of Health and its engineers before acceptance.
The special meeting of the fire de- partijient called Monday evening by Chiei Engineer William W. Cameron, was idrgely attended, evidencing an in¬ terest in fire department aff'ai^s by the members thereof. The Chief announc¬ ed th^t the purpose of the meeting was to consider attending the parade and toumament held in conjunction with the annual convention of the Southern New York Volunteer Firemen's As¬ sociation, at College Point, on Thurs¬ day, October 7th. The department voted unanimously to attend, and the Fire Council was requested to draw $300 from the bank to pay for a band, transportation of the apparatus to and from College Point, and dinner for members of the department participat¬ ing in the parade. The following com¬ mittees were appointed: Band, Jesse F. Bedell; transportation. Second As¬ sistant Engineer Arthur P. Lewis; Printing, First Assistant Engineer Clarence M. Van Riper; dinner, ex- Chief Engineer Archer B. Wallace.
The members were unanimously in favor of inviting the Southem New York Association to hold its convention in October, 1910, in the village of Free- port. They also decided that should the association accept the invitation, to hold a parade and tournament in con¬ nection therewith, and also a five days' carnival. Chief Cameron reported that Mr. Nugent who has leased the Opera House, had donated free the use there¬ of for the sessions of the convention. The Chief had suggested that the de¬ partment would give Mr. Nugent the privilege of running the customary fire¬ men's ball; that Mr. Nugent in reply had offered, after paying .for the music at the ball, to divide the receipts of the ball with the fire department, mak¬ ing no charge for the use of the Opera House. The report was received with enthusiasm. .
Chief Cameron reported,'as delegate, the proceedings of the State Conven¬ tion at Poughkeepsie. It was a com¬ plete and interesting report.
It was decided to run an entertain¬ ment during the winter for the benefit of the department, and the Chief ap¬ pointed the Foreman of each company, each'Foreman to choose an additional member from his company, to act as a committee of arrangements, together with the Chief and Assistant Engineers aa ex-officio members of the committee.

Thieves Busy—Two Caught?
Within the past few weeks thieves have been active in the section north of Bellmore. Mrs. Corcoran's home was entered in the daytime and a quantity of^wearing apparel and other .articles stolen. A bicycle from' Chas. Ander¬ son's barn was stolen and the entire products of Mrs.Umhauer's garden was :aken during the night. John Conklin ii. Oakfield avenue and Fred. S. Jack¬ son (colored) were apprehended and charged with petit larceny. Judge Tatem committed them for sixty days. Goods from the Corcoran home were found in the possession of Jackson and Conklin, who was detained on this ac¬ count but proves an alibi on the bur¬ glary charge.
No clues to the thieves on the other two cases, but the authorities have their suspicions and will make a thorough search to rout out the offend¬ ers.
A pretty wedding took, place' here Wednesday aftemoon when Chas. Edwards, Jr., and Miss May Chapman, daughter of Mrs. Mary Chapman were united in marriage at the home of the bride's mother. The best man was Clarence Edwards, and the maid of honor was Miss Ida Chapman. Rev. Charles Edwards performed the cere¬ mony which was witnessed by a few friends and relatives of the young couple. After a wedding trip to Bos¬ ton, Mr. and Mrs. Edwards will reside here in a newly furnished cottage on Clinton street. The groom Ms popular in this section. He is a member of the fire company, the Board of Trade and is a carpenter by trade.

Seaman at It Again
John R. Seaman, of Baldwin, is ver¬ satile, tiO one doubta that.     Sonie   tiiTi6
ago he was engaged in the making of cement blocks, and the building of the pipe line for the city ^yiped out his sand lot and buildings, so Seaman was without. a vocation for a. while. He once had an idea of a hall to go up on Grand Ave., but a heartless municipal¬ ity put the kibosh on that, too, as we understand it, so Seaman is still the possessor of a temporary hall near the station, but he has engaged in active commercial work by opening a grocery store, which he hopes will last long enough to make the business worth while. All the recent enterprises of this enterprising Mr. Seaman nas been conducted within a space two hundred feet long on Grand Ave., near the station, and folks are always interest¬ ed to know what their neighbor is go¬ ing to do next. It is expected that Neighbor ^aman will have another lucre getting scheme if the gjrocery business, for some reason or other, does not come to the surface as a money make.
