'    REGARDING THAT PULMOTOR j     The Naasau Post prints   the   follow- I ing item, which I presume they    think i is funny, or cute :
VILLAGE PULMOTOR I As a taxpayer of the village
of Freeport deeply interested in its welfare, and the saving of human life, I am reijuest iriK you to put in your next budget the sum of $18.').00 for a pulmotor. Smith Pear .sail to the Freepori Vi'lage Bnard.
Why     not     be     generous, .Smith, and be our village pul¬ motor yourself? As a matter of fact,   a   pulmotor   is, primarily to save   lives,   and as I have to confine my personal etforts to   newa paper wnrk. I would have to beg  to be excused from acting as a pulmotor,   as i I believe that a newspaper which  sidls ; for Ic-is than   the   cost   nf    production would he the first  vicliin   I'li   which   I W'lulil have to operate, and   1   have al¬ readv acli'd us [lulmotor to the full ex tent of my desires in that line.
HOW SLANDER SPREADS
All interesting comment on how easy il is to spreiid false reports or  true   is taken from the untrue statement   in a Rockville (Jentre paper that at tbe fire on Main Street last inonth there was a I heavy ihiinage by water used by "over   ! zeiilnus   liremen."    Altho    they   were | lolll that this was absolutely untrue, as noted in this column   laat   week,^  they made no elfnrt    to   correct   the    state-
' inent, which   appeared ten days   later, wi!id for word, in the Malvi'rnc Newa, ; printed, in the   shii.e   otlice,    and   last ;
' week in the HempsteHil Inquirer, due credit for the falsehood being given in the latter paper, to the paper from whicb it was taken. Verily "the truth can never overtake a lie once started. " but it might at least make an attempt to ilo so.
SO.Mi: FIRE DEPARTMENT
DIFFICULTIES
During the coming year the Fire De¬ pHrtment bas several dillicult problems to   handie.     One   of the most   import¬ ant of these is the matter of transpor¬ tation of apparatus to lires.      Several ^ limes    hose   companiea  have been de- layed in answering alarms  because   of ; inability   to   get   horses to convey tbe apparatus.     In   old   times   pulling   by ¦ hand   waa   all   right,   when   buildings were expected lo burn   down   anyhow, if they once got going,and much light¬ er   apparatua   was   used   than   is   now neceaaary.    Thia has not been so  seri ous.    with    four   hose   companies    to answer,    but    the    trouble    has    now reached   the   hook   and    ladder    com- i pany, the only one in the village.   Last ( Saturday morning an alarm was given for  School No. 2 which  Truck   No.   1 I did not and could not answer,   because they could not get  horses   lo   pull   the truck.    Suppose there had been a   fire tbere and the second floor full of  chil¬ dren.
The Truck Company has been fortu¬ nate in having for many years a team of horses belonging to H. C. Schluter whenever fhey wanted them, hut Mr. Schluter finds he cannot afford to take hia horaea from regular work during business hours, and has notified the coinpany that he will not take the truck out any more during the ilay time, and iast Suturday h-) felt justille 1 in refut¬ ing to take the horaea fmm theii regu¬ lar work in hia rush hours, and otht'i' neighboiing tradespeople also refuaed to allow the u?e of their horaea while busy with deliveries.
Fortunately, there was no fire, but it would have been juat the same If •there had been several fires—the'Iruck cnuld not have reached ihein. The matter mi:st be taken up by the fire men and reouest made to the Viilage Board withou'. delay. When the de¬ partment mat-:. ? this request thn re¬ sponsibility is then up to the Bnard, and they can oniy pass it on be making recommendations to the people and giving them the chance to decide whether conditions ,sball be properly remedied.

THEY'RE OFF
1     Last week we noted where Sea ClifT
had had no fires in nearly   iwo   years.
Wednesdav   night. March 11, thev had
a fire.
These new telephone slol machines may be a fine thing fnr the Company, but where yon have got to put a nickel or more in the nlot before yuu can even get Central, and the telephone in Free purl is nur only Die alarm system, peo¬ ple should go slow iibiiiil installing tbem. A nmn called out of bed for in¬ stance is not apt to stop to put change in his pocket to operate a slot macliine to send in additional alarms, recalls, liolice calls or anything else (we might include that as a part of our equipment on our apparatuj) iiinl tlu' hnuaeholder even, if awakened by " 'ire, might not find it convenient to hunt up a nickel ' to send in a fire alarm.
Truck I '"as unahl(! to answer the call early Thursday morning, this time on account of bulky hor.'^es. In the last three riills this company has been held up twill' hy balky hnises and nnce by no b'ii-.-:i s arriving. At the Realty Huilding lire, when bidders were needed most, the horses held up srveral iriiii- Utt'H just outside the dniir. At the call last Saturday morning, they Uid nol leave the house, no horses being available, and Thursilay mnrning tbey were atill standing in front of the hcuse with balky li ^rses when the re¬ call blew. II is quite |iroliiible that tbe company will ciri'iihite a rail for a special election t': purclmsr a Irarlor for their apparatus, the proposition having been coiisidereii pieviniia to the tegular election but nnt being Kubmilti'd owing lo the possible jeopardizing of the Hoae I p'oiio.'-ition.
The regular meeting of the Fire Council was held at the engine house Wednesday evening, with the follow¬ ing members present: ('hiefa Loon¬ am, Pearaall and Smith. Wardens Whaley of Hose 1, Starr ami White of Hose 2, Comb-, and Patrick of Hose 3, .Sumner and P'ritz nf Hose 4, (!onniir and Rice of Kngine 1 and Bo¬ liind and Niles of Truck L
At tbe opening of the meeting Chief loonam said that on behalf of the peo¬ ple of Freeport, and especially the ten¬ ants of the Realty Building, he wished to thank the firemtn for the hard and I'onscienlinui work they were doing, and that he wished each foriinan pres- i'nt to so report at his next meeting.
The following new members were spproved: Angele Preziosi, Hoae 1; Gilbert Thompaon, Ho.'-e '2; William Padgett, Moae 2, aubject to approval of guardian.

The matter of bells on the   front   of ¦ ull houses as on Truck 1 wua diacusaed, and   it   ia   probable   that at  the   next nueting   of   thi-   L'ouncil  some   action will be taken to aecure same.
A great deal of time was given to tbe discussion of general department mutters and much good will probably accrue from some of the augi^estiuna made. The (.'nurici! was unnnimously of thi' opinion that particular attt ntion shijulii be paid at lirea to the few men who secure rubner boots, coats and helmet^ and stand at a safe distanca iiway and walcb tlu: iien niil si for¬ tunate do the work. The foremen were assured they would have tbe sup¬ port of the Council in any action they might take, within their by-laws.
