of 69c, for which I had 2 receipts, against the 68c paid by my companion. The explanation of this seems to be that the Railroad Company cannot eharge but 2c per mile in Greater New York, but where they sell a ticket out¬ side of the city they can charge 3c per mile and where it i« a through train running in and out of the city they charge 3c per miie for the entire dist¬ ance. It may look like cloae figuring, but hereafter I shall bny my tickets on the train in preference to buying a single ticket. I can use that 9c as well as the Railroad Company.

The plant was beginning to need at¬ tention and Mr. VanRiper took charge of the boiler room until the arrival of Engineer Smith and Assistant Engi¬ neer Thomas Chilton.
While Cotter was still working over Harvey, his helpers were horrified to see him suddenly pitch forward and fall in a heap, his body rigid and his hands twitching convulsively, with a large cut in his neck and a burn ex¬ tending from his left cheek down to his right breast.
Mr. Cotter undoubtedly owes his life to C. 0. Niles, the village elec¬ tric lineman. Seeing Mr. Cotter fall without having touched any thing to cause   an  electric   shock,   the    others

I away, after fixing the trouble, leaving Mr. Harvey to attend to other duties flnd was unable to say what happened. I Eye-witnesses to the later accident to Mr. Cotter say he did not touch any thing to shock him. There are several arc lamps in this corner used regular¬ ly, known as "testing lamps," and a flash of light was seen to jump from one of these lamps to Mr. Cotter's head several inches away, and he fell over unconscious. It was impossible to say whether he stumbled or became dizzy, but in each case the shock came from one of t..> large electric lamps in the corner. These lamps have been in use regularly, bat there has been a wooden floor under them, which waa removed and a cement floor placed there, which is to be covered with rub¬ ber insulation as soon as repairs un¬ derway will permit. *The concrete was a strong conductor and evidently was to blame for the passage of the current.
A shock of 3300 volts approximate¬ ly passed through both the men.
'fhe requisite amount of electricity to kill a person is 1700 volts, of 8 am¬ pere standard. The strength of the current passing from these lamps ia slightly le^, about 6.6 amperes, but this was more than offset by the quan¬ tity of electricity.
Engineer Smith soon arrived at the plant with another firemen and took charge and Cotter was rerpoved to hi,s home on Grove Street where he was attended to further by Dr. Runcie and a stitch taken in the cut in his neck,
COTTER'S CONDITION Word from Mx. Cotter at his home on North Grove Street this moraing was that he was improving nicely and expected to be able to return to work in a day or so.

A SLUMP IN MUNICIPAL BUILDING.
It is very doubtful if anything will be done tbis Fall, and probably not before the annual election, regarding the Municipal Building, concerning which we spoke in a previous issue, The committee found that thoy w. re able to lease the buildinj; beiongir:;? to the John J. Randall Co., on South Grove Street, for $30 per month, and also that there was some question as to the title of the lot owned by the village, at the corner of Pine and Church Streets.
This lot was owned by the Good Templars, a temperance organization, which went out of existence several years ago, and the property was sold for unpaid taxes. At the sale the property was bought in by the county, and afterwards purchased b.v James Dean and prasented to the village. It is the opinion of tbe Village Board that the title should be cleared up, by a court proceeding, before anytiiing further ia done in this matter, and that probably will be the next step. At the special meeting on Thursday of last week. Counselor Swezey -vas request¬ ed to give an opinion to the Board re¬ garding their rights and powers in this matter.

COST OF SCHOOL SITES
Sept 17, 1918.
Editor of the Review,
Dear Sir:—In reference to tbe sev¬ eral propositions of the sctuiol- board to be voted on Sept. 26tb, I tbink it is important that the voters of the dis¬ trict give due consideration to the cost of each lot of land offered.
In figaring over the varioas sites propctoed we flnd the cost approximate¬ ly as follows:
No. 1, Grove Street, 68 cts. per iqaare ft with 100 ft. road   frontage.
No. 8, Pine Street 26 cU. per square ft., with 646 ft. road froot^e.
No. 4, Randall Ave., i2 eta. per square ft', with 660 ft. road frontage.
These I presume are the sites in mind for a high school Imilding and whila location should have firat and most impnrtant consideration cost comes next
just about now. As I have said be fore, I have such a policy in my own business and every buainess man ought to, just as surely ns he has fire insur¬ ance, and the same care ought to be taken ot our village affairs.
I only speak of this now hoping that the additional emphasis may induce the present Board to protect ttie taxpay¬ ers in this matter.

STEAM FOR HEATING.
At a recent meeting of the School Diatrict, aa noted in tbe Review, a proposition was advanced by one of the taxpayers present, to heat the Grove Street building from the steam from tbe Village Power Plant, which Im thought would b« entirely practical, and wbicb coold be done very cheaply. Along this line, liie propoaition was discuased in connection witb the baild¬ ing which is being erected for Hose No. 4 in tbe park at the Power House, aod it waa decided that there was not enoagh steam frpm tbe plant, even ' considering the amall distance it woald have to go underground, to properly beat this building, so that it looks that it would not be practical to consider beating a bailding tbe size of the school house.
Chief    Engineer    Loonam,     while
No. 6, Colambas Ave.   aite   figures aiipeaking on tbis subject, said thst tbe
condensation of the steam waa so great that it was not practical, for thc small distance between the Power House and tbe houae of Hose No. 4.

firat of the hundreds of lodges in the United States over which he has dom¬ ination, to call upon him for a duty of this kind.
Guests were present from Manhat tan, Bronx, Queens, Westchester, Pat prson and Jersey City, and many of the seven hundred members from Free- port lodge arrived in automobiles from all over Long Island.
The new home will be ready for oc¬ cupancy some time in the winter. It will be an imposing edifice. The new home will have an entrance on South Grove Street, but the main entrance will be through the older building on Merrick Road.
Following the cornerstone laying a Rhode Island clam bake was served under a tent raised on the lawn of the lodge grounds.

Start now and take a good while to think over this proposition, and let the Board see that the flremen are for any¬ thing that is for the good of Freeport.

Maybe!
There was no nieeting of the Fire Council Wednesday evening, through lack of a quorum. A special meeting will be held this Friday evening, at 8 o'clock. A meeting of the "New York Committee" will be held at the same place on that evening.
The blowing ef the fire whistle after the horrible accident early Thursday merning will probably be the means of a specific call being arranged where the power house can secure assistance in this way. 'ttie firemen present thought Assistant Engineer Cotter had done the proper thing in using this method of sammoning assistance, and to tha credit of the Fire Department, I migfat say that, as oflicer in eharge, I had at least fifteen offers of help from the firemen who had answered this distress signal, and there is no question but that had a word been said, fifty men would have stepped up to do anything in their power to help.
