the (quMlizHtion .of assessments in the three towns in Nii--,8U County for the ynur iJ.i, tile- Ai-pellate Diviaion of the Supreme Court for the Third De¬ partment has just rendered a unani* mous deci.sion, which is a substantial and important victory for the town of Hernpstead.
Enclosed herewith is a copy of the opinion by Hon. Walter Lloyd Smith, Presiding Juotice, concurred in by all the associati- judges.
You will iuchII that in the year 1911 the Sufiervisors of the County of Nas¬ sau refused to make any equalization, claiming that the ratio hetween as- •essed and true value in each town in Nassau County was the sarne, and thus left the assessments of real and per¬ gonal property, for the purpose of col¬ lection of State and County Tax, the Hame as made by tbe Agsesgorg of the several towns, namely:
Hempstead $52,452,081
Oyster Bay 15,257,515

FREEPORT DRUMMERS WIN (By a Spectator.)

The above item appeared among the Freeport Fire Department items in the Freefiort Review last week. While it may be that the Fire Council hag full charge of fire department matters in Freeport such is not the case in Patchogue, for here we act under the ruling of Subdivisiion 19 of Chapter 89 of the Village Laws, which reads that the Board of Trustees "has all the powers and is subject to all the liabil¬ ities and must perform all the dutiea of a sejiarate board of tire •*•* com¬ missioners, if the village has no such separate board." We are quite cer¬ tain that this question has been threshed out in the courts and that where there is no board of fire commis¬ sioners in a village the villsge trus¬ tees have full jurisdiction in fire de- partmi'nt   niatters.
