FREE FIREPLACE LOGS
The Village is offering to the residents of Freeport, without
charge, fireplace logs cut from trees which have to be removed for
various reasons. The logs will be stacked at the North-West corner of
Brooklyn Avenue and North Grove Street.
Due to the fact that tree removal is not a continuous operation
the supply of logs will necessarily fluctuate. However, in the future
all logs cut by the Tree Crew and the Highway Department will be made
available to the residents, courtesy of the Village of Freeport.

NOTICE TO VILLAGE TAXPAYERS
The Village Treasurer advises all taxpayers to make sure their
taxes are paid, as he will have to sell all unpaid taxes on January 28,
1958.
NOTICE TO PARENTS
It has beenbr ought to the attention of the Village Board that forty
(40) lights have been stolen from the Christmas tree at the railroad sta-tion;
also that a cedar tree in the Municipal Park facing BrooklynAve.
had been mutilated to the extent that it must be removed. This is ap-parently
the work of youngsters and it is suggested that all parents en-deavor
to impress upon their young people that public property is also
their property and when it is destroyed it reflects on the over -all cost
of operating the community.
At this time it might also be mentioned that many street lights
are wantonly destroyed by throwing of stones, sling -shots, etc. This
costs the electric light department many hundreds of dollars through-out
the year, which is a direct loss to the community at large. It would
be nice if children could be taught that public property is their property
and whenever they see it being destroyed, if they would tell their parents
and the parents in turn inform the Village Clerk, a great public service
would be rendered.
