To the Editor of the Review,
Freeport, L. I. Dear Sir:—
I   beg  to  inform   the public that   I

An adjourned meeting of the Village Board of Trustees was held in the Board room Friday evening, the entire Board being present with the exception of Trustee Sigmond.

commissions,   $75;   axles   for   hose  Some More "Things for

The "Citizens" circular says:
Why Are They Opposed To Him? They Want Hobbs!
The extraordinary number of saloon¬ keepers, bar tenders and hangers-on of the Village saloons who have signed the nominating petition of the Citi¬ zens' Party should cause every voter to look well to his ballot on Election Day. Eighteen or twenty saloon men out of a possible twenty-four in the village do not favor Mr. Hobb's candi¬ dacy without a reason.

If John E. Golding is a Methodist as the "Citizens" claim, how is Charles F. Schneiker a Lutheran?
J. U. Cartwright said the "Citizens" petition had 225 .signatures last Wednesday night. It only has 180 now and 9 or 10 of these are on twice. What became of the rest?
The one most noticeable feature of the "Citizens" ticket circular is that while it assails the present iidmin- istration it .makes no promises or even suggestions of how it will better exist¬ ing conditions.
The "Citizens'" Party says "Village atfairs are under inlUience of a ring"
Who are "Leading Citizens?"
Sunday the "Citizens" Party issued a circular containing the list of signers to its petition, non^inating officers for the Village election on   .March   ItJ.

I'o tlie Board of Trustees;
(Jentlemen:
.\t this our last uieetiiit^ ol" the fiscal year il seenis {)ro]'er to nie to addre.ss a eomtuunicatiou to you, and through you to our cit¬ izens, dealing with the j^eneral affairs of our Villat^e. All governing bodies are of course subject to a certain amount of criticism, just or unjust, and it is my intention to show that all our acts have been done with the single purpose of what was right and just and for the bestiii- terests of our Village.
In the first placo l,^t me express my appreciation of your sup- Our Board has been harinonions and except on a few small matters have been of one mind in our decisions. Yon gentlemen are all men of atiaiis. of business, aud yet you have devoted yourself to the atfairs of the Village without any desire or lioi)e of re¬ muneration. But it is but natural that ymi should. You have all ii - sided in Freeport for years. You have seen Freep<:)rt grow from .i small Ii;iinlet to a thriving Village of five thonsaud inhabitants. You have seen our re:il estate double and triple in value, and improvement after improvement made, nntil tlie Village of Freeport takes a back seat to no Yillage on the Island, You are not men that sini[)ly .seek the oftice of Trustee for the name that is in it, for  your   iirior  service

Who pays ttie expenses of printing circulars and putting them out. hiring headquarters, etc., for the "Citizens" Party, out of an office without a sal¬ ary?
Will the "Citizens" Party take the voters in their confidence with a statement of their expenses and con¬ tributions?    We'd like to .see it.

MUNICIPAL LIGHTING SYSTEM

Some years ago our lighting system was ;i. subject of much ;ui- v(>rse criticism, but the success of our jilant has at the jiresent time al¬ most eliminated such criticism.    The general jiolicy of tho Board  for
has   been   to  ex- the   Jilant.    This
of course, is not technically right as extensions should have been statements made by bond issue (or as it would lie c:illed in i)rivate jdauts "'in¬ creased cajiital") but our Village was growing so fast and demands for light were so insistent that it seemed best so to do in oVder to meet the needs of onr jieojile. To-day the jil.ant stands as follows: There  are  about   four  hundred   and   thirtecui (41)5) light consumers.
At the meeting and Ladder Co. Wednesday >ron was una endorsed for advancement to the oflice of Chief Engineer of the Freeport Fire Department and Clarence VanRiper for firsf assistant Engineer.
