Marcb 16, 191«. That speech of Ellhu Root's will 4:0 down in political history as truly great, notwithstanding the deterlna- tlon of sundry and numerous mem- ken of Congress to make a monkey of their party.
There are a great many men now in Washington who won't be sending eeeda and singing songs of their own superiority for franking purposes af¬ ter March 4 next. The eyes of Ger¬ man. Irish and Americans are firmly aot upon them.
Their patriotic blood still courses tumultuously through the veins of the youthful conductors of the New York Tribune. There Is a flickering sus¬ picion, however, that they will be found too proud to flght If the tocsin «('war really sounds. Bless their little hearts!
With Old Sol busily dissolving win¬ ter and the season of nominations 10 Bight, the South Shore Democrats gen¬ erally are perking up as usual. Tbe Rockville Centre Republicans will in¬ sist upon the nomination of Earl Ben¬ nett as successor to himself, and some of the Rockville Centre Democrats are pointing to Dr. D. N. Bulson, for four years Village Prealdent, as a competi¬ tor for tbe nomination of Comptroller. The Doctor has thla In his favor— the Democrats of that butg are no longer hopelessly divided and if he gets their support he will be a strong figure In the primaries. Another Dem¬ ocrat whose name is mentioned for Clomptroller is Dr. Carl Schneuck, president of a bank down at the Branch. The Instinct for flgures and flnance is strongly developed among the medical fraternity of the South Shore. Rockville Centre also haa a doctor for a bank president. That South Shore is reputed to be a very healthy country and perhaps it la natural that medicine should appeal lesa to latent talent than flnance.
Too bad that Funston personally was not detailed to capture Villa.
Old you see her picture in the news¬ papers and do you wonder that her husband seeks to erase her name from the Roosevelt roster?

'"Villa alive or dead" Is a good newspaper headline, but reflection must convince us that we can dis¬ pense with the presence of the rascal either living or dead. To be stimula¬ tive tbe battle cry of an administra¬ tion should be short, alliterative as possible and to the point. Thus, Perr dlcaris alive or Ralsulle dead failed to thrill a national convention be¬ cause of the absence of these struc¬ tural essentials.

CANDIDACY OF FORMER SCHOOL TRUSTEE BROUGHT TO THE AT¬ TENTION OF THE FREEPORT VOTERS.
(By William H. Grace.)
To those who are well acquainted with Albln N. Johnson, there is no doubt as to his unusual fltnese for the office of village president. As (herB may be some who do not know him, let me mention a few of his qualiflcations.
He is well educated for this posi¬ tion. As a graduate of the commerce department of Pratt Institute, of New York University Law School and the flrst Masters' Class of Brooklyn Law School, he has through hard study and work secured a training well suited for such office. His extensive law experience will enable him to les¬ sen the legal expense now borne by our village. His residence for 30 years h«re has made him thoroughly familiar with village affairs.
He has given close attention to every public offlce heretofore held by him. During the three years when he was on the Freeport school board, he only missed one regular and one special meeting and frequently visit¬ ed the schools. During the more than flve years when he was a public li¬ brary trustee he never missed a meet¬ ing and the present public library room was procured. As one of the chief organizers of Patriot Hose Com¬ pany he assisted in obtaining Us comfortable hose house at a moderate cost to the village and as Its flrst flre warden never missed a meeting of the flre council.
He has shown exceptional ability as an offlclal and brought feonsider- able A-edlt to this village. When on the school board, he undertook the laborious task of revising the school rules and regulations sq as to meet the requirements of our enlarged school system. He did it quietly and sought no thanks or publicity there¬ for. Offlcial recognition ot the value of such work came later when the chief of the division of school admin¬ istration of the bureau of education of the Department of Interi6r at Washington, D. C, In his publlcatioU on "School Administration In the Smaller Cities," gave Freeport school board credit therefor therein and quoted verbatim a number of pages of such rules, .the only school in the United States to be so honored. This chief also sent his written congratu¬ lations because such rules "are clear and keen cut so that each offlcer In your school system should know what his fleld Is," and asked for copies of such rules to distribute ataong sup¬ erintendents to whoqn he had recom¬ mended auch rulee.
These faots should be known at this time. If lipace permitted I should also be glad to mention at length as to his honesty, fairness, publie spirit, unfailing courtesy and almost untir¬ ing energy. He certainly deaerves the vote of the people of Freeport next Tuesday for vlllaga president.
PRESIDENT LAMB'S ANNUAjL REPORT
To the Taxpayers of the Village of Freeport: In closing in'y term of office as president of the Village of Freeport, I am reviving an old custom of presenting to the taxpayers of the' Village in a more simplified and understand¬ able form than the Treasurer's statenient, a resume of the more important departments over which your VUlage Board has control. I trust that future Village Presidents will continue to make this report as I feel the tax¬ payers are entitled to know in this simpli^d form, just how their money has heen spent in these important branches of the Village.
COMMERCIAL LIGHT SYSTEM
The taxpayers are to be congratulated on the healthy condition of thit ever-growing plant.
There are now 1,208 light consumers,, showing an increase over the last year of, 108 consumers.
The total bonds issued against the eleqtric light plant was Seventy-three thousand ($73,000) dollars.
The present bonded indebtedness is Forty- eight thousand ($J^8,000) dollars. This re¬ duction of Twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars has been made as follows:
Six thousand ($6,000) dollars by taxation prior to 1909, and Nineteen thousand ($19,000) dollars from the earnings of the plant.
In addition to this $19,000 item, the sum of $25,682 has been expended on extensions and paid for entirely out of the earnings of the plant.
Some of the physical data as to your plant, in comparison with other villages, can be briefly noted, for instance: The consumers doing business with yaur plant are distrib¬ uted over seventy miles of streets as against,'.. for example, about the same number of con¬ sumers in the Village of Rockville Centre, distributed over approximately thirty-four rniles of street, and to serve these consumers our plant has to maintain approximately one hundred miles of wire. A conservative inven¬ tory of the commercial light plant shotus assets in the amount of $93,725, and in mak¬ ing this inventory, due allowance has been made for depreciation as to the commercial operation of the plant for the past year, ex¬ clusive of the street lighting.
The report of the Light Commissioners shows receipts from consumers only, $33,- 525.10; expenditures, $31,078.58, made up as follows:
Coal »8.961.09
Insurance 2.'{S.2;;
Hepaira, replacements. Hupplios and up-keep (takluK care of do-

To wiilch should be added the balance from
last year 554.8S
Leaving the cash on hand 13,001.30
Of this amount the Board of Trustees fit its last meeting, placed $2,500 in the Light Sinking Fund.
STREET LIGHTS Your Light Commissioners received in pay¬ ment for the operation of street lights, the 'sum of $11,558.62. For this sum there was 'operated 191 arc lights on an all night sched¬ ule, totalling 3,792 hours and 25 minutes per lamp, per year. The type of lamp used is for the most part an 85 volp. 6.6 amper, 560 watt, magnatite lamp. To supply this lam^^fi,total of 411,324 K. W. passed through the meters qn the switch board. It has been computed ihat the actual operating switch board cost is 2.21 cents per K. W. during the past year, as against 2.66 cents per K. W. the year before. At 2.21 cents per K. W., the switch board cost of street lights is $9,090.26. For this amount of current, however, the sum of $7,354.29 only, was paid from the appropriation for street lights by the Light Commissioners. The balance of expenditures $4,204.33 was spent outside the plant on the distribution system, niaking a total expenditure of $11,558.62. The difference of $1,735.97 be¬ tween the switch board cost of $9,090.26 and the amount received $7,354.29 is made pos¬ sible by the operation of the two systems in one plant, and any loss to the commercial sys¬ tem is offset by a lower relative switch board cost.
The ViUage of Freeport operates one hun¬ dred and ninety-one arc lamps over a dis¬ tance of about seventy miles of highways. These lamps are the most up-to-date that can be obtained for street lighting, and there ca% be 'no comparison between such a system and the antiquated, incandescent system operated by Rockville Centre. The only exception to this is the Boulevard lights maintained by Rockville Centre on the county hightoayg and
which were constructed by private subscrip¬ tion.
A perusal of the above figures should show conclusively, the impossibility of an appropri¬ ation of less than twelve thoiisand dollars for street lights, especially as no charge has beeit made against street lights for interest on in- vestment or insurance.
WATER PLANT
The total bonds issued against the water plant amounts to $83,500. The present bond¬ ed indebtedness is $75,500. The reduction of $8,000 has been paid entirely out of the earn¬ ings of the plant, as also has been the sum of $41,345.25 for extensions.
A conservative inventory of the water plant shows assets of $116,200, after making due allowance for depreciation. As to opera¬ tion for the past year the report of the Water Commissioner shows receipts of $19,954.40, expenditures of $15,694.57, made up cui fol¬ lows:
Coal 14.941.73
Insurance 119.11
L.ubor and rents 1,832.43

Bonds paid off $1,500.00
Extensions 927.46
Making net Income $4,259.83
Balance from lust year 549.67
Cash on hand $4,809.50
The Board of Tiustees have placed $3,500 of tlm amount in the Water Sinking Fund at the last meeting.
The number of consumers for last year was 1,513, as against 1,588 this year. Also there are 288 hydrants maintained at no cost to the taxpayer but if the water plant was pnvately owned it would receive approxi¬ mately $8,000 per annum for this service.
PpLICE DEPARTMENT The Police Department consists of the President as Chief of Police, the. Board of Trustees as Police Commissioners, and a cap¬ tain and seven patrolmen, together with spec¬ ial officers who are paid only when called upoy.. For the past year the department has expended $11,208.87 as follows:

Salarle.H

Special OfTlcers, furniture and all olher In¬ cidentals. Including services rendered to and paid for by the counly and town 1,854.71
Total $11,208.87
In my. judgment the police department can¬ not be operated with less than the present force, which provides a man at headquarters during the entire twenty-four hours of each day, one man on patrol duty during the day and four night patrolmen. In fact one more regular officer tvould add greatly to the ef¬ ficiency of the department.
STREETS
We have in the Village of Freeport about seventy miles of highway. The improved streets are:
I'eelisklll gravel roads, coaling appro.\l-
mately $4,300 per mile, 22 miles $94,800.00
Cinder roads, at approximately $600 per
mile, three miles 1,800.00
Shell roads, at approximately $2,000 per
mile. 1 hi miles 3,000.00
Total $98,400.00
NOTE.—Two miles Macadum road maintained hy the county.
The bonds issued against these roads total $65,000, of which $2,ooo have been paid off, leaving a balance of $63,ooo unpaid.
The difference in the cost of the road and the amount of the bonds issued, amounting to $34,400, represents what was expended out of the regular, annual appropriations for streets. During the past year $18,046.87 was spent on streets, which includes the following items:
114 miles new Peelisklll gravel ruads $5,37S.00
2% miles cinder road, at $600 per mile 1,350.0(^
Cost of gravel for re-surfacing existlnt;

Andrews Brothers, for Improvements ut Main
and Chuich streets B25.50
Salary of street commissioner 800.00
Drainage pipes 383.00

Street signs 157.00
Rent of steam roller 330.25
Cleaning of streets In business section .... 318.00
L^bor, horse hire and Incidentals 3,470.90
Total $18,046.8.;
Your Village Board believes that it is gen¬ erally conceded that the average condition of the streets in this Village exceed in quality that of any other community on Long Island, and the improved streets are 'not allowed to deteriorate but are maintained and repaired from the regtilar street appropriation.
I do not deem it necessary to make detailed statement as to expenditures in the following funds: That of the Fire Department, Board of Health, Side-
March 10. 1916. Hon. George Wallace,
c/o Soutb Side Observer Co.. Rockville Centre. N. Y. Dear Mr. Wallace:
I have read your article in tuo March 3rd issue of The Soutb Side Observer, in reference to the cost of street lighting for the Village of Freeport. While, as a rule. I do not care to enter into any newspaper con¬ troversy. I think an explanation is due to you and to the taxpayers of Freeport as to why the street lights aost the taxpayers $1^,000 per year. I do not understand from your article that you dispute this fact, but wisa to be shown how the amount Is ar¬ rived at.
There are in operation in the vll¬ lage 191 arc lamps, and the cost of their maintenance, as will appear in tbo Vlllage Treasurer's report pub¬ lished this week, has been $11,- 558.612, or, approximately $60.50 per lamp for the past year.
This amount wae expended as fol¬ lows:
$1,155.00
the Water Sinking Fund from the in¬ come from water rentals.
While I do not claim to be an ex¬ pert on electrical matters. I havs given the matter considerable study since I have been a member of the Board of Trustees, and whatever I have done or not done, has been to the best of my knowledge for the best Interests of the Village of Freeport.

would be $13,718.62
The board asks for only 11^,000.00, feeling that the commercial system can well afford to stand the excess amount of |1,718.62, as, by producing the extra current for J,he street lights, the .switch board cost of the entire production of current is reduced.
The street lights have been oper¬ ated during the past year all night every night for 3,792 houis and 35 minute.s, or. an average per night of about 10 hours and 25 minutes.
I flnd upon looking over the street light records for several years past, that when the street lighls were oper¬ ated under moonlight .schedule, and only lighted the early part of the night, the time Ihey were lighted averaged about 4 hours and 25 min¬ utes per night, and the cost varied from !fyi to »35 per light per night.
The type of lamp has been changed during the past 10 years to one of greater etticiency, and about double the candle power. The lamp pre¬ viously used was one of the best made at that time, and was a 50 volt lamp, ti.6 ampere, consuming 330 watts per hour. The lamp now used is an 85 volt, G.6 ampere, consuming .'.60 watts pet* hour.
There have been installed during the past year, watt meters to deter¬ mine accurately the amount of cur¬ rent produced at the power house, ijoth for the etreet lighting and com¬ mercial lighting.
From perusal of the reports of var¬ ious light companies made to the Public iservice ConimlHsion on electric lighting. I find that tbe actual cost of the maintance of an arc lamp of type similar to the ones used In, Freeport, and where the current is produced at a non-condensing plant using coal, is between $60 and $70 per lamp per year, and that the average charge made by private lighting companies to municipalities for lamps similar to the ones used In Freeport, is from $90 to JlOO per lamp per year.
I am quite sure that you and nearly everyone else will concede that Free- port Is the best lighted village of any on Long Island. I personally think that our .streets are much better light¬ ed than those of Rockville Centre, ex¬ cept for the portion of that vlllage which Is lighted with boulevard lights. Nearly every street in Free- port Is lighted with arc lamps, ex¬ cept in a few cases where the lights are gradually being extended, and eventually will take care of every atreet where lights are required. There are In service 10 100-watt tungsten street lamps in addition to the 191 arc lamps.
I consider that the municipal plant at Freepori is economically and profltably managed. The taxpayers bave not been called upon to pay for any of the Interest or principal of any of the water or light bonds since 1909; neither have they been called upon to pay for any extensions to the plant, which have been from $8,000 to $10,000 per year. All of these have been paid out of the profits of the plant.
If the village did not own its own plant. It would be obliged to pay a flre or hydrant tax, which, at the pre¬ vailing price charged by private com¬ panies, would coet the taxpayers somewhere In the neighborhood of $8,000 per year.
During the past year the ^profits from the plant have permitted the placing in the Light Sinking Fund of $2,500 from the income from tke eommereial lighting, and $3,500 lo
Total i)aid out
Pai.l by lax $6,000 00
I note your reference to "grass¬ hopper government." I do not infer from your article that you accuse the present Board of Trustees of main¬ taining this form of government. I never have been, and never will be In favor of such government.
If you will carefully look over the report of the Village Treasurer for the past year, you will flnd that no bills have been left unpaid, aud that there are now balances on hand total¬ ling $15,8 56.68, sufflcient to main¬ tain the village for several months for the coming yoar.
I might comment on the varloua other branches at village government, but as this letter Is now rather lengthy. I wlll just say that I con¬ sider every one of them In excellent condition, and all Judiciously and economically conducted. 1 have my own- Ideas of what should be done, and how. I do not entertain the least Idea that I have pleased, or will please everybody, but whatever I have done. or may do, is according to my own best Judgment.
Sincerely yours, ERNEST S. RANDALL
