Communication
Editor of The Review, Dear sir:—
Mr. Richard Henry Smith, in last week's issue, takes exception to in¬ dividual initiative in reference to pro¬ tecting the town's interesta in its meadow lands and beaches. Theoret¬ ically, Mr. Smith's reasoning is good; but in practice we all know it falls short.
The circular quoted shows plainly there is ho desire to oppose or reflect on the town board; but rather to awak¬ en such interest among the citizens of the town that they will see the import¬ ance of getting away from precedents established long ago, when values were nothing compared with what they are now, and will be in a few years.
We hope the papers will keep thie question constantly before their read¬ ers, to the end that this matter will receive the attention its importance requires.
Yours very truly,
H. L. Crandell, Freeport, N. Y. March 6, 1907.
In a letter to a paper in a neighbor¬ ing village Julius Detmer denies all re¬ sponsibility for the recent Independ¬ ence League spree in Opera Hall.
Mrs. Wm. G. Miller tendered an "old-fashioned dinner" to a number of her friends at her home on South Ocean Avenue, Thursday noon, all of the guests being invited to attend at 12:53 promptly. A jolly old-fashioned afternoon's enjoyment is reported.
The identification of a man about 60 years of age, killed by a train at Val¬ ley Stream a week ago Sunday night, as John H. Vanllouten, a veteran of the Civil War, by Commander William H. Patterson, of D. B. P. Mott Post, and Joseph Wright, with preparations for interment of the remains, has caus¬ ed Vanllouten, who is still alive and well, to enjoy a good laugh at the ex¬ pense of his comrades.
Vanllouten was in Freeport Satur¬ day night attending a meeting of the Post, coming from Canarsie. He left for home Sunday and when the body of the man killed at Valley Stream was brought to Forbell's morgue at Rock¬ ville Centre, Patterson and Wright went to view it, they having been told the man had on a Grand Army button and wore veteran's clothing. The fea¬ tures of the dead man resembled those of VanHouten so closely that they were sure it was he, and told the undertaker to make airarigements for the inter- nioiit. A grave was opened in Green¬ field Cemetery, Hempstead, and Thurs¬ ilay afternoon set for the funeral, with Grand Army rites.
Prior to the funeral, Daniel Morri¬ son, -wtiose nephew married VaiiHou- ten's ilaughter, was communicated with and lie telejihoned Canarsie, in- ijuiring about VanHouten. He learned that the veteran was with his daugh¬ ter, alive and well. Commander Pat¬ terson and Comrade Wright were in¬ formed of the fact, but they were not convinced that the body was not that of Vanllouten until Mrs. Morrison went to Canarsie and brought the vet¬ eran to Freeport. The arrangements for the funeral were stopped. The btidy at the morgue has not yet been dentifiied.
People's Primary
The primary ef the People's Party, held at the truck house of Excelsior Hook and Ladder Co. Friday evening, brought out over 600 voters. Wm. S. Hall read the call of the meeting and was unanimously elected chairman. C. 0. Niles and Wilfred H. Smith were elected secretaries, and Mr. Hall ap¬ pointed Archer B. Wallace and Sylves¬ ter P. Shea tellers. Th^re was some discussion as to whether one ballot ahould be used for the whole list of officers, or a separate ballot for each office. The sentiment was almost un¬ animously in favor of the former plan, which was aiiopted. The voters pres¬ ent were in a hurry to cast the ballots so no nominations were made, all the candidates being known. The wise plan of the committee in fixing the hours from 5 to 9 gave everybody a chance to express an opinion without the crowding that usually characterizes these primaries. The result of the election was as follows:
For President —
Daniel Morrison, 390
Julius Detmer 205
Morrison's majority
For Trustees—
C. A. Sigmond 463
Franklin Bedell 439
C. H. Fredericks 186
Sigmond's majority
Bedell's Majority
h"'or Treasurer—

For Collector -
Elvin A. Dorlon 325
Miles S. Rhodes 119
Jos. Albin 48
I-'or Police Justice
S. H. Swezey 533
The oflRcers of tbc-.tneeting were ap¬ pointed a commictee to fill any vacan¬ cies occuring, and Daniel Morrison and William S. Hall a committee to call the primary next year. The two oys¬ ter shells were adopted as the oflicial emblem to designate the party on the ballot. After the primary the signa¬ ture of 100 signers to the nominating petition were secured and these have

The crowd was so well pleased, and the perform¬ ers so good natured that they were kept until too late to catch the last city Communication Editor of The Review, Dear sir:— Mr. Richard Henry Smith, in last week's issue, takes exception to in¬ dividual initiative in reference to pro¬ tecting the town's interesta in its meadow lands and beaches. Theoret¬ ically, Mr. Smith's reasoning is good; but in practice we all know it falls short. The circular quoted shows plainly there is ho desire to oppose or reflect on the town board; but rather to awak¬ en such interest among the citizens of the town that they will see the import¬ ance of getting away from precedents established long ago, when values were nothing compared with what they are now, and will be in a few years. We hope the papers will keep thie question constantly before their read¬ ers, to the end that this matter will receive the attention its importance requires. Yours very truly, H. L. Crandell, Freeport, N. Y. March 6, 1907. In a letter to a paper in a neighbor¬ ing village Julius Detmer denies all re¬ sponsibility for the recent Independ¬ ence League spree in Opera Hall. Mrs. Wm. G. Miller tendered an "old-fashioned dinner" to a number of her friends at her home on South Ocean Avenue, Thursday noon, all of the guests being invited to attend at 12:53 promptly. A jolly old-fashioned afternoon's enjoyment is reported. The identification of a man about 60 years of age, killed by a train at Val¬ ley Stream a week ago Sunday night, as John H. Vanllouten, a veteran of the Civil War, by Commander William H. Patterson, of D. B. P. Mott Post, and Joseph Wright, with preparations for interment of the remains, has caus¬ ed Vanllouten, who is still alive and well, to enjoy a good laugh at the ex¬ pense of his comrades. Vanllouten was in Freeport Satur¬ day night attending a meeting of the Post, coming from Canarsie. He left for home Sunday and when the body of the man killed at Valley Stream was brought to Forbell's morgue at Rock¬ ville Centre, Patterson and Wright went to view it, they having been told the man had on a Grand Army button and wore veteran's clothing. The fea¬ tures of the dead man resembled those of VanHouten so closely that they were sure it was he, and told the undertaker to make airarigements for the inter- nioiit. A grave was opened in Green¬ field Cemetery, Hempstead, and Thurs¬ ilay afternoon set for the funeral, with Grand Army rites. Prior to the funeral, Daniel Morri¬ son, -wtiose nephew married VaiiHou- ten's ilaughter, was communicated with and lie telejihoned Canarsie, in- ijuiring about VanHouten. He learned that the veteran was with his daugh¬ ter, alive and well. Commander Pat¬ terson and Comrade Wright were in¬ formed of the fact, but they were not convinced that the body was not that of Vanllouten until Mrs. Morrison went to Canarsie and brought the vet¬ eran to Freeport. The arrangements for the funeral were stopped. The btidy at the morgue has not yet been dentifiied. People's Primary The primary ef the People's Party, held at the truck house of Excelsior Hook and Ladder Co. Friday evening, brought out over 600 voters. Wm. S. Hall read the call of the meeting and was unanimously elected chairman. C. 0. Niles and Wilfred H. Smith were elected secretaries, and Mr. Hall ap¬ pointed Archer B. Wallace and Sylves¬ ter P. Shea tellers. Th^re was some discussion as to whether one ballot ahould be used for the whole list of officers, or a separate ballot for each office. The sentiment was almost un¬ animously in favor of the former plan, which was aiiopted. The voters pres¬ ent were in a hurry to cast the ballots so no nominations were made, all the candidates being known. The wise plan of the committee in fixing the hours from 5 to 9 gave everybody a chance to express an opinion without the crowding that usually characterizes these primaries. The result of the election was as follows: For President — Daniel Morrison, 390 Julius Detmer 205 Morrison's majority For Trustees— C. A. Sigmond 463 Franklin Bedell 439 C. H. Fredericks 186 Sigmond's majority Bedell's Majority h"'or Treasurer— John E. Golding viOH Jos. Germond 18 For Collector - Elvin A. Dorlon 325 Miles S. Rhodes 119 Jos. Albin 48 I-'or Police Justice S. H. Swezey 533 The oflRcers of tbc-.tneeting were ap¬ pointed a commictee to fill any vacan¬ cies occuring, and Daniel Morrison and William S. Hall a committee to call the primary next year. The two oys¬ ter shells were adopted as the oflicial emblem to designate the party on the ballot. After the primary the signa¬ ture of 100 signers to the nominating petition were secured and these have 185 277 253 Board of Trade The regular monthly meeting of the Freeport Board of Trade will be held next Wednesday evening at Fra¬ ternity Hall.
