RICHES IN LAND
According to Dr. JoscRh Cacca- vajo who Is recognized as the higheat authority on population and statistics of the Metropolitan . District, the percentage of in¬ crease In population In Nassau County for periods of ten years since 1870, has been 15 per cent, from 1870 to 1880, 20 per cent, from 1880 to 1890, 24 per cent from to 1900 and 35 per cent from 1900 to 1910.
He predicts a 51 per cent In- • rease for the ten years ending 1920, and 73 per cent Increase for the ten yeara between 1920 and 1930.
The great growth In Nassau County is on the South Side.
Growth spells opportunity. Free- port is the centre'of growth and likewise of opportunity A conser¬ vative Investor in property any¬ where from Lynbrook to Massa- pequa, who buys at fair value and is able to hold that which he buys, may be sure of a safe and profit¬ able Investment.
No better time to buy a home than In the early spring. No com¬ munity will give you a more cord¬ ial welcome than Freeport and its neighboring villages.
Come to the South Side. From The Nassau Post, Feb. 20, 1914.
17 YEARS IN OFFICE Having served either as 'Village trustee or"Village president a total of eight years, and as Supervisor a total of nine years, it must be assumed that Smith Cox has not been hampered by lack of abundant opportunity for doing the things which in his judgment ¦would be of benefit to Freeport. It must be assumed too that In his
i of the office of State Fire Marshal should be neacted into law, what form of Are investigation would we have?
Competent fire officials everywhere are striving by all practical modern means to lessen the annual fire cost by establishing conditions to reduce the, hazard of fire, for it is economic¬ ally wiser to prevent conflagrations than to flght them.
Every fire is either directly or In¬ directly the result of carelessness. Much of this indirect carelessness is brought to light by systematic inspec¬ tion of premises. This work is now in the hands of chiefs of village firg departments. If the Fire Marshal Is legislated out of office who would be¬ come resposible for these inspec¬ tions?
Fire costs the people of the United States more than 1250,000,000 last year according to insurance statistics. The buildings destroyed would make a street extending from Ne-w "i'ork to Chicago.
The oflice of State F'ire Marshal should not be abolished unless provi¬ sion Is m.ide for carrying forward the department's work in another way. Certainly an important work should not become the football of partisan i politica. j
I FELIX UEIF.SCHNEIDER, JR.— i Your address to the populace of : llempiitead is to the point and should win you many taxpayers votes in . your campaign lor Village President. j In the matter of platform ana policy ! you have Floyd Weekes on the hip. He says he favors reduced gas rates. I Scratch a Russian and you find a Tartar. Search deep aj^d you may And him In sympRtJ^J with the gas company's metljodl'cal resistance to the demands of consumers. The sev¬ eral villages of Long Island each seem to have a citizen of prominence who hunts with the hare and the hounds— in public sturdy critics of t)i>e gas company. In private altogether some¬ thing else. Keep up your fight for the taxpayers.
OBSERVATORY—Your suggestion that the new Freeport school have its tower for astronomical purposes is wholly practical. Such an observa¬ tory would not be costly to erection or to maintain. Your Board of Educa¬ tion should be willing to consider the proposition in all seriousness. , Star gazing may not be preeminently a pur¬ suit to which Long Islanders have dedicated themselves, but it can be utilized as a useful adjunct in this period of uplift so conspicuous in all American communities.
I his feet. It is what it is "worth on the side" that makes the oflice valu¬ able. A shrewd treasurer should net not less than $5,000 a year exclusive of salary. How, do you say? Why, "man, have you never needed a loan and been willing to pay from |10 to 1500 to get it? No? Then you liave never dealt with a real Town Trea.sur- er. Our new To-wn Treasurer, you speak of as a Progressive, politically.

IS IT A NEW SALT RIVER
Cable dispatches from Kio Janiero announce that our great American ex- pirorer, biologist, botonist etc.. Theo¬ dore Roosevelt has discovered in the hinterland of San Luis Caceres a hith¬ erto unknown river.
If more detailed Information shows that the new stream is perfectly fresh the discoevry Is not particularly im¬ portant; but if it turns out to be a new salt river there is no telling what it may play In the future. 1
DISTRICT ATTORNEY—The story of that unforunate Jarvis couple, in the last issue of The Nassau Post, reads like an attempt at robbery, aud well merits your attention. Such things may well be within the shadow of the Bowery, but in enlightened Nassau, never. By the way there are several persons prowling aiound this county who should be in jail. The fact that they are members of the Bar should stimulate you to pronounced activity. Something in the nature of a purga¬ tive needs to be administered occa¬ sionally to all Bar Associations. Ed. Wright will doubtless assist you and so undoubtedly will Scudder J.

R. V. C. PARENT—Boards of Edu¬ cation in this vicinity seem to he close corporations, neither inviting the co¬ operation of Ihe public nor ever guilty of dlKseminating news of llieii doings. You might try out Mrs. Spelinan, she may prove sympathetic. She was elected for that very purpose. The
only reason why you see no accounts of their meatlyga in the local yews- papers Is because of the lack of intel¬ ligence among the editort,. ivnow lug little or notliing about news, naturally they don't print it. It will be dlfl'ereni when The Nassau Post once gets into action.
