FIREMEN TO INVITE STATE CONVENTION Freeport Department Unanimous at Largely Attended Spe- cial Meeting. EDWARDS HOPES ENTIRE VILLAGE WILLBESEWERED Former Village President Thinks Costs Will Be Less Later On. TRUSTEES INVESTIGATIONS - OF PLANTS TO START Will Visit Villages Using Various Types of Systems to Ascertain Actual Facts. The New York State Association Is to be Invited to hold its 1922 conven- tln In Freeport,'according; to the de- cision of the members of the Freeport department at a special meeting held at headquarters last Thursday eve- ning. The meeting was the largest ever held by the department for any purpose, and the decision, which was • reached after considerable discussion, was unanimous. In addition to being the fiftieth an- niversary of the organization of the association, this will be the first time it bus ever been entertained on Long Island by a volunteer department. A number of years ago a session was held at Coney Island and recently at Kockawuy Beach and Flushing, where the exempt firemen's associations were the hosts, but to Freeport, If success- ful, wl>l fall the honor of being the first volunteers to entertain. * When the delegates from Freeport attend the 1921 session at Binghainton In August, they will Invite the 1922 assemblage. They will take with them Invitations from the Village Board of Trustees and Chamber of Commerce, as well us from tlie de- partment, and there is not much doubt that they will be successful. In anticipation of their success a committee of arrangements has al- ready been appointed by Chief Smith as follows: Clarence II. Williams, Ed- ward C. Smith. Hamilton O. King, Wal- ter B v Coaaens, 8. ntmim Smith, An- drew C Clark, Mllto* Combs, Willis M. Summers, John 5. Itandall, Jr., Cliarles F.

KdWHrdx, who Is resting up under doctor's orders, and Is forced to com- pletely abstain from business f,,r foiir oi five weeks, writes an Interesting personal letter to the editor of the Freeport News, who takes the liberty, of quoting the former chief executive of the village on several public mat- ters that an vv of more than pas-- Ing interest. \I observe,\ writes Mr. Kdwards, that the mutter Of sewers has OOJM before the honorable village board. No doubt we need sewers. I hope, however, when the step is taken tlie whole village will he done. It seems to me that the gus situa- tion Is equally !m|>ortuiit ; first to cmpel the cas company to reduce Its charge, und secondly to omnpel it to make extensions. If gasyneM water extensions cannot hi tttade when ap- plications are filed with, (he gas com- pany and the village authorities then the progress and expansion of our village will be retarded., \There are a great many people who would build a home but for the fact that gas and water are not in the streets. \As tn sewers, I think we can build them cheaper a little later on when labor gets down. Almost every house- hold commodity has been reduced 25 to 00 per cent but kabor has not. Supply und demand will regulate t|»lx fcooner or later. With living condi- tions reduced labor will naturally have to folhTw. That will meunVJ* lower cost of corwvuctiou of every- thing- I presume there is ai'KUiiKiu pra and fon, hut tJem- are niy per- sonal views.\ There Is no doiilit that Mr. Kdwards In the first exhibition of the evening al Ihe Auditorium M lay night Young Mickey 0'Dowd, ul 11.\. pound-, of Brooklyn knocked oul Jack Gregory, at 110 pounds, of .lersev C,tv in two n.in uies ami seven second* of the Ural round.
