Theatre Toesdsy
A benefit for the Church of the Holy leemer, Freeport washeld in the
 merican Theatre, Tuesday   evening,
^th the talent generously given by the denizens of the attractive actors' ^ Wlony at Woodcleft. tmJr Father O'Toole in his introductory HpMmarks at the opening of the per- B? formance, was warm in his praise for •the folks who come here for a vacation and, yet are always willing to give their time and talent for any worthy object. Father OToole voiced ^the sentiments of Freeport in his thanks to them.
To George P. Murphy goes the hon¬ ors for getting together and producing a show, the like of which could never be seen on Broadway under one roof at one time, not excepting Lambs Oambols and Friars Frolics. It was due to his efforts that such a splendid ffr array of acts was available.
To Fred Gray goes the honor for ranning things "back .stage." Fred is one of the hardest working vacation¬ ists of the Lights, and is ever ready to do more than his bit.
To the actor folk, one and all, go the honors for entertaining with acts that ran many minutes over the al¬ lotted time, when in their refirular places on a city bill. . To Sidney Reilly at the i>iano, Wal¬ ter Stanley at the violin, and William Speedick at the drum, go the honors for giving their time, and excellent music, and to Father OToole goes the honor of being shepherd of -such a *ock.
Following the words of welcome by Father O'Toole, came the popular Star of "Sometime," Harold Murray. He sang the

The clown band that formed auch an enjoyable part in the Lights Society circus was under the leadership of Fred Gray of the Lighta Club and was composed of local boys whom he had trained.
It was stated that Tommy Dugan had charge of the clowns, but the band was the conception of Fre<i Gray and was kept under cover until the last  minute   before   the   performance.
He went to New York for the cos- Heart of a  Rose" and'tumes,   etc.,   him.self   and   kept   them hidden until the show.
With the exceiition of Fred Gray and Jimi Morton, who made merry with the base drum, none of the boys were profe.ssionals. Some of them in fact were members of the old Freeport Band.
They will probably be hoard on many occasions thi.s aummer, as they are too good not to be active. Free- band at the present time and it i.s a known ¦ fact that music hath charms not possessed by other influences.

BALDWIN WATER IN GOOD^NDITION
Formal Inspection of Baldwin Plant
Results In Favorable Report
to Health Department
Dr. William Rhame, town health of¬ ficer, filed with the Hempstead town board this week a report by the state health board of the analysis of the water furnished by the Baldwin Water Company in Baldwin. The report showed the water to be in good condi¬ tion.
The formal inspection of the com¬ pany's plant was made on May 18 last by Alfred Mullikin, an assistant en¬ gineer in the, state department of health, who transmitted the result of his investigations to Chief Engineer Theodore Horton of the same depart¬ ment, the latter filing the inspector's report and the findings of the depart¬ ment with Towrn Health Officer, Dr. Rhame.
Engineer Horton, in his report saidj that the Baldwin authorities had car¬ ried out the recommendations of the health department aa made in 1915 and that while it is evident that the public water supply of Baldwin, al¬ though not dangerously polluted at the time of the inspection, is subject to pollution, which while apparently rendered inactive in its passage thru the soil, may at any time become act¬ ive and dangerous.
Statistical information submitted in the report gives the population of Baldwin as 4,000, fifty per cent, of which is served by the Baldwin Water Company. The supply is obtained from six driven wells near Miilburn creek, a half mile northeast of the village and a quarter of a mile north of one of the Brooklyn water works pump¬ ing stations. Thirty miles of cast iron main are installed, ranging in size from 4 inches to 12 inches in di¬ ameter. There is a tank 30 feet high and 22 feet in diameter, with a capa¬ city of 110,000 gallons. The average daily consumption is 150,000 gallons, or an average of 75 gallons per day per capita.
The health department's engineer recommends that certain changes and corrections be made in the wells, and closes with a recommendation that the village authorities maintain a careful sanitary patrol over the area in the vicinity of the wells at all times.
Definite steps have been taken by the Hebrew Congregation of F'reeport towards the thirty thousand dollar edifice that they will build at Broad¬ way and Mount avenue, Freeport, in the near future, and which will be known as the B'Nai Temple.
Plans are being made for laying tho cornerstone about the 16th of August, Jftffhen elaborate ceremonies will mark 'the occasion.
The charity bridge held at Blossom Heath Inn recently, under the direc¬ tion of Mrs. Moses Feltenstein was a decided success and swelled the Tem¬ ple Fund materially.
On the Srd of August the Ladies' Auxiliary will stage a benefit at the American Theatre when the ever ready members of the Lights Club have again donated their valuable services in order to make the affair a success.
The temple when completed will be equipped with every modern conven¬ ience, and it is hoped to have it ready for the fall holidays.

CAMP MEETING
AT ROOSEVELT
Large   Crowds   Attending   Daily
Camp Meeting Services
Of Evangelists
An old time camp meeting, with all the features that make it picturesque, is in progress at Roosevelt, on Prince avenue, a section of Stearns Park.
The pleasant weather that has been granted them since the opening of the meeting last Fri()ay has served to draw large crowds to the various ser¬ vices.
The Long Island Holiness Camp Meeting Association, under whose aus¬ pices the present meeting is being held, has been active since 1886. In 1914 the present association was or¬ ganized and in 1916 it was found ne¬ cessary to seek a larger place for the annual meetings and the Roosevelt site was chosen as being central, and adaptable in other ways.
The evangelists are Rev. David An¬ derson, Rev. W. H. Tryon and Rev. George N. Buell and the song leader for the meeting is Miss Ruth Harris. Children's meetings under the leader¬ ship of Miss Ella Claus have been very successful and well attended.
Not a few families have come to the meeting to stay until it is over next Sunday, and tents have been furnished as well as a dormitory and restaurant. They are having preach¬ ing three, times a day and services three times a day. Last Tuesday was young people's night, and the Epworth League of Huntington was present.
Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Wollford Taylor who have just returned from China, were at the meeting for the first three days and had charge of the service last Sunday when the collection was given them for their foreign field. The meeting will close on Sunday, July 25, and rf the present rate of attendance keeps up, this year'a session will go down as one of the most successful that the association has ever had.
RECOVERS LOST BAG
Sent from N. tY. Without the Money Or Valuables That Were In It
The following lost advertisement ap¬ peared in the Review of last week: "Lost—July 1st, on three o'clock east- bound train at Bellmore Station, black hand bag with money, keys, etc. Ap¬ ply Rose Johnson, High Hill Beach, L. I.. N. Y."
Tdesday Mre. Johnson received her bag by mail from a station in New York, but the money and valuables had been removed. There were no marks on the package whereby the sender might be identified.
Mrs. Johnson believes that who¬ ever found the bag had some honesty in them at any rate, and she is grate¬ ful for the return of ii, but she asks throi%h the columns of the Review, that the good work continue as she is anxious to recover the locket and the chain that were in there. They were heirlooms belonging to one now dead. The money she had, represented sav¬ ings that were for a much needed sum¬ mer vacation and Mrs. Johnson would appreciate the return of more of her property.

GAS RATES TO GO UPJN^ AUGUST
New Rate of $2.25 WUI Be Effective
Next Month—Lawyer Makes
Vigoroos Protest
Henry L. Maxon, counsel to the Hempstead Town Board in the pro¬ test by the Board against the increaae last spring in the rates of the Nas¬ sau & Suffolk Lighting Company and the Public Service Corporation, sug¬ gested to the Board at its meeting on Tuesday that the only way to stop the gas companies from continually rais¬ ing its rate is to establish a munici¬ pal gas plant, or allow an outside corporation to come into the town and operate a competing plant.
Clerk Gilbert reported to tho Board that the Public Service Commission, through its secretary, Francis X. Dis¬ ney, had filed with him the new tariff of the two big corporations, to be ef¬ fective August 9, 1920, under which the two companies raised their rate to $2.25 per thousand feet of gas con¬ sumed, and in addition th^ereto an ex¬ tra $1 per month for the installation of a meter. The gas companies' schedule calls for $2.25 per thousand for the first 10,000 feet of gas con¬ sumed, for the next 10,000 feet $2.15 per thousand, for the next 10,000, $2.05 and for all in excess of 30,000 feet, $2 per thousand. The new schedule also gives no minimum rate and covers all fuel, heating and lighting purposes, available to all consumers, gives no maintenance discounts, no prompt payment discounts and allows for no special rules and regulations. The tariff schedule is signed by Joaeph Kennedy, vice president of the Nas¬ sau & Suffolk Lighting Company, and Henry MacDonald, president of the Public  Service  Corporation.
The Board discussed the matter informally and after Counselor Max- son's letter instructed him to make a vigorous protest against both the old and the new rate increase^ In his communication to the Boara^ in ans¬ wer to Clerk Gilbert's letter, Lawyer Max.Hon said:
"It .seems to me that the town should file a complaint as in the raise to $1.75. The first raise of 25 cents has not as yet been determined, owing to the ill- jjess of Public Service Commissioner .Jutljrti Barhite. I have been informed by the Public Service Commission that the hearings will be taken up in a „ short time. I think a complaint which ought to be filed on this second raise could be joined with the first com¬ plaint. Il is up to the Public Service Commission to determine the rate.
"It is about time some legislation was enacted whereby on a vote of the people the town could manufacture and sell at cost'gas for its inhabitants. Villages can maintain th^ir own wat¬ or and light plants. Gas for heating and lighting purposes is fast becom¬ ing a liousehold necessity. Until the town can manufacture its own gas the public are at the mercy of private cor¬ porations making gas for a profit and can only resort to a long drawn out expensive proceeding before the Pub¬ lic Service Commission, the result of which is not at all certain and may The Baldwin Civic Association will I "p' be satisfactory, meet Friday evening in the Knights' "A town having a contract with a of Pvthias Hnll for the purpose of water works company for water may discussing  incorporation. ac(|uire the works, franchise and prop-
