Every y^ar our Board of Trustees are invited to parade with us. This year this was entin ;y forgotten until the day of the tournament, when Trus. teee Randa.l.

This oversight was greatly regretted by the department ofiicers.

The machine, if it had been de- stro.TCd, plt.iough it was a new one, would Imve been a small matter, but i resent the accusation of reckless driv¬ ing when I think of the danger she was in from a falling gate. She bare¬ ly escaped with her life. If the gate had struck her head it would dojbtless have been fatal. It is not right to put the carelessness of inefficient em¬ ployees up to .Miss Davis."—Eagle.

Improvements at Hicnec Point
One day this week a representative •if the Nassau C<Hinty Review made a trip to Hicnec Point, v;hich probably is Ml unknown place to most of our residents. As a matter of fact, this point is just exactly two miles from the Nassau County Review office, go ing along the Merrick Road to Bay- view Avenue, and then down Bay- view Avenue, to the very limit poasi- ble. Bayview Avenue, in the village of Freeport, runs down so that the houses would have numbers between iiiMi and 71)11. if they extended tc the limit, and beyond the village there is probably a iiuarter of a mile or more in addition, and Hicnec .Point is the extreme limit of the avenue, contain¬ ing some eight or ten houses, the larg¬ est of which is used by Edward S. I.anger as a summer home, and on which he has spent several thousand (Items of interest from the Review files   dollars on its improving and beautify. ;

Fireman Again Get Wrong Call
When the fire alarm sounded Mon¬ day morning, and the department ans¬ wered the Call, 86, at the foot of Grove Street, they found there had again been a mistake and the fire v;as at South Side Avenue and Bedell Street, nearly a mile away. A pan of grease on the stove of Mrs. I. B. Owens, of that street, hud been the cause of the alarm, but the'call was given as St! and was blown as such, sending half the fire departments to the extreme village   limitB.    The   fire
or of the agitation of the raiir'-ad favor of inducing or causing our auto¬ mobilists to be more careful, we doubt very much if Miss Davis wns careless, as we have never known of her being recklesa in her driving, and the Rail¬ road Company must do more than merely take the word of their gatemen under all conditions, as it rnay not be fair to convict an automobilist under such conditions. We know of a case where the driver of u car was caught in the same predicament on ime of the crossings in the Village of P'reeport not ('Ver two wee4is ago, anti when ht afterwards expostulated with the flag¬ man, the llagmun told him practically thaUhe had no kick coming as he had got olf the tracks before the train came, and that he (the flagman) had something else to do besides watching all the time to sei'   who   was   coniing.

Reference to our original report, and the map accompanying it, will in- ilicate that [lortions of several of the main or trunk sewers traverse streets on which there are now few if any buildings. The location of these trunks is governed and fixed uhiiost entireli*by the nature and eievations of the ground, so that their position cannot be materially alttrcd, and the lateral or smader sewers cannot be laid until the trunks are constructed and ready for them to drain into.
In or.ier to sewer the streets in cer¬ tain sections it is therefore essential either to construct the whnli. of the trunk which they empty into, or else to molify the original plan in some way to meet the conditions. A glance at the gt-neral plan will show that the construction of the (Jrove Street and the Roo-evelt .Avenue trunks wiii pro¬ vide the means of caring for ail that section indicated as the Central Dis¬ trict, A sligiit modification of the laterals designed for .Main Street und Brooklyn Avenue will pf-rrnit the Ceii- triil Di.-trict to be eiiiarg?(l ?ulliciei!tly to include the loajor part nf the I usi- iic^s section of the village.
