To the Residents and Taxpayers:—
Following the precedent of the ma¬ jority of my predecessors, I wish to briefly review the work accomplished by the various departmenta of the Vil lage of Freeport during the past fiscal jear ending February 28th.
I siiHJI not go in'o detail j of receipts and expenditures as tbese can    bo   ob¬ tained from the  report of the   Village Treasurer now being published: WATER AND LIGHT PLANT The   plant   was   never   in   a .more healthy and prosperoua condition   than I at the present time.
Water System ¦
j There are now 1H84 water consumers isho'vinx an increaae during the year i of i)ti.
I The water revenue received was j $25063.;s8 showing i«n increase fiom I the prtvioua year of .¦*5109.48, while I the expenditures for operating, repairs and interest wtre $12331.80, a decreaae frorn the previous year of .$1^2 68,
¦The profit of the water   system   be¬ ing $11232.02 for the past year.
Maturing     Bonds      amounting     to
street lights, new transformers and meters if.stalled, poles and wiring put up have been made at a cost of $2172.56. The.e are now 200 arc street lights in operation.
$7500.0(1 has been added to the Light Sinking Fund,i^akini{ the total amount in that fund cf SlOOdO.OO exclusive of accrued interest. There still remains a comfortable balance in the Light Fund.
The Light Sjatem is conservatively invcntotud at .''gOUOO.OO.
All of the money expended from tbe water and light syatem lor extensions, payment of bonds, interest and sink¬ ing funds have been paid out of the eariuiigs o£-tU« pjant.
The coal situation would have been very serious if a contract bad not been entered inlo last May, so that we have been able to get sutlicient coal at $4.25 per ton, except three ('S) cars for which we were obliged to pay $8.35 per ton. Without this contract our coal Pills would have been $10,000.00 more than we have paid.
We were also prepared for further emergencies by laying in   12,000   gal
I   2 miles of mHcadam streets
li miles of shell streets I As there are nearly 70 miles of ' streets in all, \ve still bave a number [of streets needing improvement. j These will be taken care of as fast au i tbe funds wiU perhiit and attention 'given   to   those  already   improved   so
that they will not deteriorate. I     The present bonded indebtedness for
street irnprovejnents is $tilOOO
Paid off during the past year ,*2000 1 am of the firm opinion that there ' is no village on Long laland whose 1 streets generally compare witb those iof Freeport. Owing to the high cost 'of road oil during the past year, not aa ] many miles of streets were oiled, bnt j a great mHJoB^ty of the streets not t oiled were kejit sprinkled with water 'during the summer months. Two (2) i sprinklinp carts have b.^en purcbaBed j during the past year which can be ' used for oil or wfller. ; Fifty (50) street signs and 11 school I signs put in position during the past ' year ; also ap.iropriate   signs   at   each
entrance to our Village. I      We have on hand now about 5 cars of
Kiank Robert* i« our iTfir«»nl»tive in tWitnorf and vicinity. All orders and news left with him *vill receive the maxnr careful attention as al our office.
The Republican Preferential Pri¬ mary wil! be held this Saturday be tween the hours of 5 and 9 p. m. In this district the primary will he held at the usual place. Firemen's Hal'. Several local candidates are seeking nominations for offices at the coming town election and a large vote is anti¬ cipated. Only those who have enrolled in the Republican party are entitled to vote.
A 14 pound baby boy arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kus.aell on Monday of this week. Is it any wonder Charles is wearing that broad smile'.'
The poat office will be opened in the new quarters in Firemen's Hall next Monday morning. This ia a change which bas long been needed in this vil- ^ Inge, the former location In tbe corner of a grocery store being entirely inad- e()uate for the volume of business now carried on in this vilage. Postmaster Heine will have the thanks of the en¬ tire village for hia progressive   move.

BOARD OF HEALTH
The problems before the Board of Health during the pa.it year have been serious. In apite of the epidemic of Infantile Paralysis which was with us during the greater part of the summer and fall, the expenditurea have been kept well within the appropriation and great credit is due to the Health Ofli¬ cer, Dr. Runcie, for the able and eco¬ nomical way these trying experiences were met and disposed of. POLICE
Acting as Chief of Police during the past year, I have devoted much time and attention to this department. There have been many petty burglaries and tbefts; while some results have been accomplished not as much has been done as I would have wished. New rules and regulations have been placed in efifect and I am hopeful of securing better results. The present force is not large enough to properly protect the Village. Four patrolmen at night to cover 70 miles of streets (Continued on Page 5)
