Tht Chief was directed to confer with the Chiffs of Kockville Centre and Hempatead fire departnients with a view to so arranging that in case of a aerioua fire in either village, aaaiat¬ ance could be immediately summoned from the others. This acheme is worked extensively in other localitiea, and might eventually prove of great advantage in ours.

Bratton Kennedy as a commit¬ tee from the .Mask and Wig Club of Freeport, through Mr. Johnson as spokesman, stated that 'their- organiz¬ ation intended giving a series of en¬ tertainments during the Winter for public purposes, and offered to give the first one of these entertainments for the benefit of the Fire Department, on a liberal net percentage basis.

David Pettigrew and Edward Rice were appointed a committee with pow¬ er to make arrangements with a com¬ mittee from that Club.
Permission was granted Engine 1 to hold a ball on Friday evening, Febru¬ ary 11, 1916.
