THAT PARK PROPOSITION.
The Village Board of Trustees seems unanimously of the impression that the Village of Freeport made a poor bargain in the matter of the lease for Park purposes of the land on West Merrick Road.
The lease is on file in the village office, but seems to have been accepted with but little attention to some im¬ portant details.
Two of the clauses could easily pre¬ vent the village from entering the premises for ^ny purposes of improve¬ ment whatever. It is provided that:
No iniprovements or alterations can be made to the premises without the consent and approval of the Comptroll¬ er of the City of New York.
No building shall be erected on the

During the summer months the vill¬ age water plant is unable to pump water as fast as it is used, in the day time, because consumers disregard the regulations providing that sprinkling shall only be done at certain specified times, and run the water for hours at a time.
I cannot but wonder how it happened that the Village Boards of previous years have allowed things to shape as they have, providing in proper busi¬ ness style that a person can only have electric light by paying for the quan¬ tity used, and then selling water "any old way," without any consideration of the quantities used.

Apparently "Vic" Webber's troubles are about over, according to the fol¬ lowing item from the Brooklyn Times:
"That the volunteer firemen of New¬ town will perform their last duties in the various villages on the last day of August is now an assured fact, for Chief Victor Webber has been assured that the paid men are to take posses¬ sion of the firehouses of the volunteers at 8 o'clock in the morning of Septem¬ ber 1."
A juvenile hook and ladder company has been formed by some of the com¬ ing firemen of the village to which boys between the ag^s of twelve and eighteen wiil be admitted. The fol¬ lowing officers have been elected: Foreman, George Hoffman; assistant foreman, Richard Ritchie; treasurer, Antonio Giordano; secretary, Edward Cunningham.

Frederick Ruther, secretary, 54 Church Street N. Y. City, informs us that a tremendous interest is being shown in the second 260 mile Tour of Long Island by train and boat, being arranged by him for Thursday, Aug¬ ust 14.
In order to accommodate the South Side subscribers, it has been arranged to have a section of the train retum via the Montauk Division. This will be appreciated and will surely increase the demand for tickets greatly.
It is very deeirable to know well in advance how many expect to go. All who are interested should order ticketa at once. It ie only necessary to pay a dollar deposit for each ticket ordered, the balanc^can be paid when ticketa are ready about a week before the 14th.
The day coach fare from Jamaica or Roekville Centre, is $2.50; from Free- port or Amityville, $2.25. Parlor car aeat, $1 more. This covers all trans¬ portation by boat and rail. Train leaves Jamaica at 8:45, Rockville Cen¬ tre at 9 and Freeport at 9 K)5 a. m.
Tbere will be an orchestra on the i distance of 50 feet in tbe rear, boat and many other features sure to please.
Ybu can order tickets either di¬ rect from Mt. Ruther. or through J. D. Kiefer, 60 Soath Main Street Free- port.
to September 1 (Labor Day) inclusive This Company is supported by the dues of the members and voluntary contributions of its friends, and when this matter of a fair was proposed, it was decided to appeal for donations to make the fair a success.
The Company has a fine apparatus but is lacking a place to house it, and this seemed a feasible plan to achieve the object and at the same time give their friends a celebration. The re¬ ceipts from the sale of such goods as are offered, are to be used for a build¬ ing fund.
The Committee are: E. R Mora¬ wetz, chairman; John A. Behr, Secre¬ tary; Wm. McMahon, Treasurer; H. J. Bauer, Wm. J Gillespie, Harry Thompson, Wm. Clifford, Ed. Mat-

The Village Board of Trustees seems unanimously of the impression that the Village of Freeport made a poor bargain in the matter of the lease for Park purposes of the land on West Merrick Road. The lease is on file in the village office, but seems to have been accepted with but little attention to some im¬ portant details. Two of the clauses could easily pre¬ vent the village from entering the premises for ^ny purposes of improve¬ ment whatever. It is provided that: No iniprovements or alterations can be made to the premises without the consent and approval of the Comptroll¬ er of the City of New York. No building shall be erected on the cliimney knocked off and a hole premises without obtaining approval through the roof and attic. I oi the Commissioners of the Sinking .

I cannot but wonder how it happened that the Village Boards of previous years have allowed things to shape as they have, providing in proper busi¬ ness style that a person can only have electric light by paying for the quan¬ tity used, and then selling water "any old way" without any consideration of the quantities used.
