Freeport Village Board
I     The   regular  seuii-monthly  meeting j of the Village Board of Trustees was i held last Friday evening in their meet- I ing   room,   all   the    members  of     the ' Hoard being present. j     it was reported that President Mor- ! rison   had   collected   $1400.   from   the New   York   Telephone   Company   for I the use of the village poles for their I telephone   lines  for  the    past    seven ] years.   Years ago there was an agree- j nient with the telephone company that I they should pay loc per year for each I pin on  the   poles  of   the  village,  but I the  agreement  lay dormant    for  the ' last seven years and no revenue Was j derived from  it.    President Morrison discovered the agreement and immed¬ iately communicated with the officials of the Company with  the result that they agree to pay the village on  de¬ mand $1400. or at the rate of $200 per year.   The rate is computed from that of 1902 which was $183.   A resolution was passed  rescinding  the charge of loc per pin against the Company, but instead the  Company agrees to keep the poles  of  the  village  which  they use in repair.    The motion was  car¬ ried  on   the   ground   that  the  village intends to lay many of their lines in cables   and   there  will   be  very  little revenue after the cables are installed.
