Matter* of intaraat to and about tha Aremet,
In our local dapartmant
by H. E. P.
The commanication from Bay View Hoee Company, which appeared in another column last week, voices a sincere prntest at tbe methods prac¬ ticed in the Southern New York Fire¬ men's Tournaments, but I am afraid we are up against a losing fight. As we all know, tbese events are run un¬ der the auspices of the village holding the tournament, and are in no way un¬ der the jurisdiction of the Association, only the affair at Rockville Centre was a little worse tban usual.
It seems small wben we are defeated to cry that we have been discriminated against—but that is the point—we were never defeated. Regardless of circumstances, any body of fair-minded men will say that given a set of rules under whicb to run off an affair, the company doing aecerding tu rulee wins, regardless of any advantage the break¬ ing of tbe rule may have given to their opponent. It is just to avoid questions of judgment in these things that such detailed rules are made in the first place.
i We are not conceited, nor do we { think we are unbeatable, but we have I a lot of confidence in our department— I naturally it would not have reached its I high standing if it had not deserved it— j and have never given any company or I department cause to complain thlt we were unsportsmanlike in any way, but we do like justice.
' The ruling on the helmet was comi- I cal. There is nothing in the rules that says there shall be a limited number I of helmets on the wagon, nor that I says a man cannot hold his helmet in I hia hand until water reaches the b^ck- i stop if he puts it on before time ia i taken, yet the   judgea    penalised   this

I am glad to see the Rockville Centre Onl is seconding my sugges¬ tion to open the schools for public meetings. There is ne reason wby tbis should not be done, as many local' organizations, operating only for the general benefit of tbe community, can¬ not afford tbe necessary expenses inci¬ dent to hiring a hall.

opecial services were held last Sun¬ day, both morning and evening, at the Christ Evangelistic Lutheran Church. in commemoration of the 395th anni¬ veraary of the beginning of Reforma¬ tion. Both services were well attend¬ ed and addresses were made by the pastor. Rev. Karkau and Paul C. Holter. director of the Huspico for young men in New York City. The pastor called attention to the fact that the actual commencement of Reforma¬ tion was at the fall of Constantinople. Mr. Holter told of a number of inci¬ dents where the Hospice is of great I good tn the youtb. tie called atten¬ tion to the fact of the great tempta¬ tions in the large cities and especially when a person is driven to hunger and want.

Dia- coujiting the other, there could be no excuae for any body of fair-minded <nien making a decision of this kind, especially with the captain of the com¬ pany willing to swear to every man being properly equipped.
To ever get justice, judges mu.st be secured who are not from any of the towna competing. On the list of iudges that day were Messrs. Webber and Hoffman of Glon Cove, and Mr. Marquis of lirooklyn Hills, these two cumpanies being the ones who defeated Freeport according to the ruling of the judges. Add to this list the one man who was the main cause of some of the Freeport conipanies leaving the Nasaau County Firemen's Association, and you have the thing pretty well boiled down. I mention these things to show tbe justice of the protest made by this company, and by any of the other Freeport companies.

Manv Freeport people in New York late at night appreciate the action of tne Trolley Conipany in holding up their last southbound trolley from Hempstead. People having business or on pleasure trips in New York after half past ten, are obliged to wait till 12:32 to get a train for Freeport, whicii arrives here at 1:26 when it is on time. Before the time-table changed, there wrfs a train whieh left New York at 11:20, and arrived in Hempatead at lL':U5. When the time¬ table was changed that train was made 111 minutes later which Would have made it ton late to catch that trolley, but the trollty oflicials hav Mibligingly arranged to make the irolley wail until the arrival of the train.
'By this tiieana it ia poesible to reach home aliout three-quarters of an hour sooner, in Freeport.    than if one waits

I     All the members except Trustee Sig-
j mond were present at a special meeting
of the Board held last Thursday after*
' noon.
Roland M. Lamb appeared and aaked
[permission to place a switch incennec-
I tion Willi the tracks to be laid   by   tba
I Freeport Railroad Company  on  Grova
j Street.    The   proposed   plan   wai  to
I place the south end of tbe switch about
I twenty leet south of   the   junction  of
I Grove Street and East Avenue, and ax-
I tend 300 feet north.    It   was  deemed
I advisable to place the south end of tha
switch at   the   junction   of   the  two
j streets where the roadway is consider-
, ably wider than at the proposed   point
and a resolution was   passed  grantini;
the permission.    In the resolution   the
Company was instructed to   place  tba
: tracks as near   in   the   centre  of  the
I street aa possible throughout the entire
I length of Grove Street.
Francis   Broadnax.    consulting   en¬ gineer, presented a tabulated report of ¦ the bids on tbe water and light   exten¬ sion?, with comments as follows;
I herewith hand >ou the bids, to¬ gether with a report on each individu¬ al bid. covering the irequiied addition to light and water plant for the Vil- lag« of Freeport, aa per advertisement and specifications.
On the whole, these bida are largely in accordance witb the specifications, with the exceptioh of some few items to which I have called your attention in the individual reports.
All bids exceed the appropriation and are as follows:
For Apparatus, Material and Labor as called for in specifications: E. S. Titus, $28,100; Thompson-Bonney Co., $23,347; W. M. Sheehan & Co.. $22,493. and Stanford Engineering Co.. $24,600.
This, in your engineer's opinion, would indicate that W. M. Sheehan & Co. submitted the lowest bid, nearest to regular.
Further, it is the opinion of your en¬ gineer that the apparatus and niateri.il called for in the ppo^ifications, togeth- • er with aatisfhctory apparatus for coal handling, can be installed inside of your approriation, provided the same i.s purchas(;d ijy the villago ai.d install¬ ed by your own representative.
He stated that he figured nut that the bidder.s were reckoning on making from 20 to 25 per cent profit and had placed their figures high enough to be mre to cover any contingency.
All bida were rejected aa they exceeded the appri.priation and the cleik was instructed to return the checks tbat accoiniianied tho Dida, to tbe bidders.
Engincir Broadnax was instructed to pr?pare modified spocilications, with a view to the village purchasing tho material and having the work done, thus saving Ihe "prolits of th(! contract¬ or and the price placcI on for a con¬ tingency. "
Preaident Hanse reported that the (."ounsel and Supcrintendont of the New York & Long Island Traction Company had been to the Villago Ollice only a short lime prior to the meeting and showed him a contract signed with Andrewa Bros., contractors, for the placing of Main Street, where the trol¬ ley company installed a switch several montns ago. in proper condition, and that the work would be commenced in about a week.
The regular meeting of ihe Village Board of Trustees was held laat Friday evening when all the members were present except 'Irustee Frank A. My¬ rick.
Counselor Fisbel appeared and stated that the building in which the Village Office was located was now owned by bim and that he would be glad to re¬ new the lease, which had expired, but that the rent would he $.'i0 per month instead of $26. The Board decided to renew the leaae for one year.
