PoHce Must Not
Use Taxis So Much
At the ttieetingr of the Board of Trustees Thursday aftemoon bills of the Freeport Taxicab Co. were pre¬ sented totalling: (92 for services for the Police Department for December and January. The largest individual items were charges of two hours or more for Chief Hanse, but numerous smaller items appear for various offi¬ cers. The large charges for Captain Hanse were not itemized as to time and place, with sn exception of one trip to Camp Mills. It is ureaumed most of the calls for the Chief were of this nature, be beinR in clo.se touch ¦with the military police at the camp.
There was also inchuleii a taxi charge for taking OIBcer Yulch to *;he police station for duty every day, be¬ cause of hia lamencRs as the resuit of his acciilent while riding his motor¬ cycle on the Merrick Road several months aKO.
The Board thought this was runnni; into too much expense and passed a resolution, which the clerk was direct¬ ed to forward to the Police Depcrt- nient at once, that no further taxis were to be used at village expeme, ex¬ cepting in emergent cases requiring immediate- action.
Thc Police Justice, Clinton M. Fdint, filed his report for January, showinj; $27.5 collected from speeding autoists in fines of $20 and $25, and $3 for re¬ volver pe;iiiit8.
Bids for installing new tubes hi two of the boilers at the municipal light and water plant were opened, and the contract awarded to E. V. Titus, the lowest bidder.
James Vetter of Frederick Avenue, for himself and his neighbors, thanked the Board for their prompt answer to the request for improvement of that
street.
The salary of Street Commissioner Bond was fixed at $90 per month. Heretofore he has been working cm an hourly basis of compensation.
The report of Village Treasurer S. Dimon Smith showed balances in the various funds as follows:

A communication was received from Captein William F. Cornell of the H. , D. R. S. N. Y. 89th Co., stating that 'Y.t was ready to turn in the revolvers at instructed by the Board, but a num- her of the members wished to buy their revolvers, for sentimental ren sons, and he would like the Board to set a price for them. It was decided to advertise for bids for the revolvers, •with the understanding that the men ¦who had kept the guns while in active aervice in the Home Defense would be given the chance to buy their own gun if their bid was high enough.

Mooitlight Thieves
February 13, 1919. The lawn of Benjamin Fairbrother on Seaman and New York Avenues, was visited Tuesday night and a large metal arm, weighing one hundred lbs., •was stolen. A wagon was used to convey the article away. There is a clue to the parties as the wagon was a medium green in color, with white I lettering on sides, dark bay horse; other descriptSoDS, but those are kept for the detective to work on. The 4Mi)y way now to realise any value from it is to break it up, for you are bemg followed up'elosely..
