A cout raft for the extension of water matn.s was K>'intt<d to Kdward A. Uice, whose bid was $2400, considerably lower than any otliers. It was voted to take the money from the Kenenil nininte- iujtice fund, createil in the election of

Stephen 1'. f'ettit vtated that a new company is lieinR- formed in Preeport to l)Uild TiO or Cd hou.sos in iv locality where there is no water .service at Iiresent. A Hpiwlal eleetion -Wtw pfiK jiosed to ask for an !ipiiroi)ri,'iflon for such work. It is possilile that al the same election the mutter Of sewers will be settled.

Harry P.. Van Ril)er apiieared liefore the hoard and asked that cinders be placed at West Kiid, where he is build- hm: "love ne.st bunfralows." The m/itter will receive attention.
He al.sov sp<ike ni a violation of the villaKe ordinance that prohibits people fiom walking the streets in bathins stilts. I'olice will enforce this to the letter. Mr. Van Riper called attention to dauKerous speislinMr on Ocean ave¬ nue and other side streets. A village motorcycle policeman will be on the lookout for such speedeis.
blast Avenue i'etition
Residents of Kast avenue sent in a long cortmiunication, calling attention to the condition of Kant avenue, where water sla.\s in tlu' pullers nfter eveiy lain. The Village Uoaid has alreaily in¬ spected the loiaiity. The membeits be. lieve the water in the gutters is from people pumpin;j water from their cel¬ lars. Evidence was found to support the belief. Work has heen done by the stieet woiker.s to alleviate this condi¬ tion as much as possible.
An application was received from a woman In the vicinity of Terrace a-ve- nue, a.sking for light in that .section. She .stated tliat she sijighted from a train at Raldwin on a recent night and hud to walk home. She .said:
"I was afraid and had to feci my way with my feet, und I tinully landed in a coal pile."
'I'he board voted to lighi this s<'ction and prevent any further mishaps of tliat nature in that se<'tion.
Property l>ese«Tate<l
An nut of town resident who owns property at l'ar.son avenue and Mill rood wrote that the vllluge hud taken sand from his private property and that the place wari an unsightly meas now. He further stated that he was tjying to sell lots there, und that as it appeareil today no buyer would be Interested after a sight of the property. Sand was taken ¦fiom t(u're last yejir to Px the street-s, and the board voted to ask former Street CommisHloner Cl8ren<>e B. Wil¬ liams to appear at the next meeting nnd explain the matter.
Speelal Meeting Called
The Village Hoartl, sitting as a Hoard of Health, took up the matter of .sew¬ age, and voted to hold a special meet¬ ing June 21 at 8 p.m.. when engineers from various cities will be on hand to discuss the subje<-t.
On the matter of garbage disposal. Health Offlcer Dr. William H. Runcie stated that the taxpayer* are after him all the time to know when K»rba«e re¬ moval wll! besia. PrealdeRt Chrtetl- Informetl him that preliminary steps have been taken, sueh as .selecting dumps, etc. nnd said that aa soon as |)ufflclent money come* in (rom Uutes ihe work will befria. .
Photographic exhibits were offered in evidenc-e of the clogged drain ditches along South Ray avenue, showing that the work of cleaning Is started. Jf^ will be Hnished in a few days, making the bench nt the Casino .safe for bathers. Pi^liee Matter** The Hoard of Trusteea. sitting as Ro- loce Commlsslon.s, aecepte<l vhe resig¬ nation of .John Hahn, the former motor¬ cycle policeman of the village. He has taken a position in the county service. The lioard vol eil lo give him a recom mendation for honest and faithful sei¬ vlce to the village of Freeport.
Rolloe Chief John N. Hartman rec ommend^d the a|>i)ointment of William Mrossman as a patrolman, to fill the vn <aiir-y mnde by the resignation of Hahn. The new motorcycle policeman for Freeport will probably be either S geant Yulch or Pntrolman Keclitman fias Petilktn Forwarded Sitting as the Vilhige Board again, was decided to send a petition to the I'ublic Service Commission, asking for a further hearing on gas rtite^t. The present rates are applicable only until Jiine SO. An the price of materials u.sed In the manufacture of gas has dropped considerably, it,is expeeted that a new rate will be fixed. (Sas com¬ panies in the city have already lowered their rates. I'resident Ma<-Donald of th»i Nassau & Suffolk 1/ighting Company stated last winter that if the price of commodities went down, the gas rate would be lowered in jiroportion.
Village Treasurer S. Dimon Smith re¬ ported that tive village funds had been overdrawn, and the bonrd voted to take J7000 from the light fund to mako tip the''deflcl't.C. . ' '
Fire Chief S. Dimon Smith reported that he had inspected the fire exits of various theatres in the village, nnd that at the Auilitorlum he found all the doors locked except the front entrance. He reported that at the American Tlw- atre two side doors \^ere open, one door on the st.ige was open, and that three were locked. The pas.sjigeway he report¬ ed as being in good condition, except for nn old spring that could easily be re¬ moved.
I'olice Chief Hnrtman stated thttt, in his ojiinion flremen in uniform should be nl the various places of amusement every night, and that they should re¬ ceive compen.satlon from the owners as is done at the Plaza Theatre now. The matter will be taken up by the Fire Council at its next meeting.
Two motor •rucks will cairy memhorf to the tournament and more will be! .ivallahle If necessary.
Since Rockville Centre has been hon , ored with the position of lea-llng the pa , rade, the chief desires a large atten<l-; ance. He feels that much depends on : the number of men who turn oul.

Mineoin, June Il.-Tlie Na.s.sau County Associntloii hopes to consolidate wel¬ fare as.soclations in this county and to su[iport tho.se a.s.soclatlons, or the con- .so lida ted n.s.sociation that may survive, out of one "commtmity chest." accord¬ ing to a letter'*sent out, which invites variotjs welfare associations to meet with this purpose in mind.
Such a consolidation would do two things. It would combine under tho conii-ol of the Nas.sau County Associa¬ tion practically all of the welfare or- gnnizjition.s, with one or two exceptions, which Ine suiiporled .solely by publio contributions. It would (lerniit klie Nas. .sau County .V.ssocialion to retlll it t'of- fers under the cloak of welfare work and under the names of well established oiganlzations with national and inter¬ national n>pulations.
The invitation to the ll.\ to walk into the sjiider's parlor has not been re. ceived with any deafening applause. Most of those-who have listened to tho propo.snl have fl'rndy refu.sed the invi¬ tation of ICreilerlik W. Olmstead. ex- eculive secretary of the Nassjiu County ' As.sociation. to "si^n ou the dotted line," lielieving that if they, do so thoir existence v.ill be shoit-liveil and thnt nil they will get out of the colisolida- 1 tiu^»l will be an opportunity to look for I a new job at an early day. I Pnder the guise of cenlrallzation of I the charitable and welfare work In Nas- ! .sau County, the Na.ssau County Asso¬ ciation seeks to periietuate itself, ami with the powerful names of those or. jganizations with which h seeks to ally I itself, it would collect n goodly sum hy i what .Mr.'olmstead in hl.s' letter calls a I '(ommunlty (lu'st," the collections to j be made twice yeail.\. In Janiiar>' and I July.
I Following the recent debacle in which Ithe Na.s.sjiii County .-S.s.soclatlon took a rprominent jiart, and in which ils former secretary, .lohn N. I'-leischer. was a dis- i credited witness, things have not been pleasant for the association, it is said. Recently it .seemed lo a close observer that there wns not the great amount of ready spending nioney thnt had been .so much In evidence at an early time in the a.ssociiition's activitii-s. One wel¬ fare worker suggested that Ihe ap|int-. ent lack of funds may be the reason for the sudden interest in other welfare or¬ ganizations in tlv«' county, although much of thelri interest heretofore lias j been political, or seemingly that way. I The idea that the association lacks i funds seems to be not .so well founded, ] because it has been repeatedly poiiuid j out that the men backing it are men of wealth, well able to |ioy for any fad or fancies of the moment that they might hnve. it is also wlt^iin the range of possibilities that .some of them have become tired of putting money into tho as.sociafion. with little if nny result.s, and that new avenue from which au income must come must be opened.
Whatever Is the cause, it is true that the asaogiation, through Its secretary, has asked the welfare organizations to' combine with Jt and participate to so. licit funds with It at one and the same time.
