J. Pennell, chaplain of the New

and retired pastor of-the
Roosevelt Methodist Church. Mr.
Fennel said that If it were possible
to get representatives to the United
Nations -to substitute talk for the
spirit of the firemen much more
action would be accomplished. He
concluded by applying to the fire-men
the scriptural verse, "He that
.would be greatest among you, let
him be servant of you all." "
Mayor Robert L. Doxsee, com-mended
the firemen-on-their pre-paration
for the . inspection, saying
"your equipment was a prize. There
was not a thing I could find that
was out of order," Remarking that
he had observed the volunteers as
they neared the reviewing stand dur-ing
the procession marking tihe 60th
anniversary of the incorporation of
the village, he added "your march-ing
was marvelous in its precision."
He repeated the statistics concern-ing
the growth of the village during
the 60- years he had given at exer-cises
in the Municipal Park.

Freeport to Raise
Water Rates Soon
Says Mayor Doxsee
Increase to Average
About $4 Per House
Executive Estimates
The Village Board is planning to
file new water rates designed lo
put the Water Department on a
paying basis with the Public Serv-ice
Commission shortly. Mayor Rob-ert
L. Dcxsee, speaking at the d:n-ner
marking the GOIh anniversary
of the incorporation of the village
in the Elks clubhouse, said the de-partment
was being run at a loss
and an increase in rates is absolute-ly
necessary.
The department's rppnrf. fnr fho
last fiscal year ending February 29,
showed the net surplus for 'the pre-vious
12 months to have been
$464.99. As a result Barton & Wheel-er,
of Manhattan, brie engineering
firm which has been called en in
the past to make studies for the
village, was called in and recently
submitted its report.
This is being studied by the Vil-lage
Fathers. Mayor Doxsee in his
talk said he figured -the increase per
house unit probably would average
aftout $4 a year. At present the
minimum rate is $12 a year, and
many families are getting by-on
that figure. This is less than many
were- paying:-when_jrates_were base0
-on- the-; number ;of iiutleta a nbuss
contained. Eyen^with ,,the increases
anticipated the charges will ba less
than they were before water was
metered in the majority of the
homes.
A spokesman for the village said
that at present water rates were
divided into seven steps, the lowest
of which Is paid by large users of
water and is so low the village is
losing money - on the sale. The
