We  have heard lately considerable unmerited  criticism  of    the    Village j Board of Fire  Commissioners  because ; our  Fire  Department  is shore of sup-1 plies.    The budget this year for fire I purposes was just double what  it  was ! last year, but  nearly  all  the  money, about $1500 out of the  $2000 appro¬ priated,   was  required  for    the   new house for the  Wide  Awake    Engine Company, to which they certainly were entitled,   but which made the amount , available    for   other purposes small. This coming year we understand they promise to put  in  a similar amount, which will give a chance to  secure  all the hose, boots, coats, etc., the depart¬ ment may require, and probably  make arrangements for a janitor for the fire houses, and for proper method of dry¬ ing the hose.

A correspondent sends in the follow¬ ing interesting facts concerning Henry Interman, an aged veteran, \vho died at Roosevelt on February 3 :

Freeport, N. Editor Review:
Will some of the soreheads who are shouting so much about "damage by water," "frozen hose," etc., kindly re¬ lieve the men on the nozzle at the next fire we have when the thermometer is quite a bit below freezing? These kickers show more than lack of sense at these times. Let,them reliev*? us. We think they'll soon be among the i missing. .Anyway, its worth tryinjj. 1 One Who Knowa.
(We think that if some of the critics \ were to change places with the fire¬ lighters for a few minutes it would make them less severe in their criti¬ cism; and there is plenty of room for them in any of the companies, but the firemen on the nozzles don't ask for any outside relief, nor do criticisms bother them, as they know they are doing their duty.—Ed.)
Edtior Nassau Co. Review :
I noticed in a recent issue of your paper that the Board of Trade wants an extra appropriatim for police protec¬ tion during the coming year, yet they are not holding any meeting this month and have not prepared any petition in this matter and it will be too late for them to do so at their March meeting. There seems to be some strong sen¬ timent against a large appropriation for this purpose and the Board may decide not to put this to a vote uidess requested to do so. Would it not be a good idea for this Board of Trade to prepare a petition and see that it reaches the proper authorities.

Villaiie Trustees
The matter of "The Greater Free- port" did not come up at the meeting of the Village Board of Trustees Fri¬ day evening as promised. Apparently its advocates ha<^ changed their minds as none of them were present and noth- mg was said about the matter.
The L. I. R. R. authorities having signified their willingness tn keep the depot open until after the departure of the last train at night if the rowdies could be prevented from assembling there, it was decided to remove the village officer now stationed at Merrick Road and Main Street, as the automo¬ bile travel is very light and the con¬ sequent danger to school children small, and place him at the depot evenings.

Scrubbing and cleaning for busy friends brought a dollar to one mem¬ ber who added another to the fund.
Making shirt waists for one dollar and selling a coat for a dollar was the result of one member's labors. One saved her husband a journey to the tailor's.
Two did laundry work.
Many submitted their methods in writing.
A school teacher told the result of earning dollars.
That "a peimy saved is a penny earned" is proved by one member, whose    verses    told    her experience.
After the manner of Chronicles one member's way and the necessity for earning the dollar, was told.
