There is no reason why all who yoted for him last year should not vate for him this yeat, and a great many of those who opposed him. »should also show their approval~pf his record in office, There is not the slightest \doubt that Mr. \Edwards will (receive unanimously the vote af those people who have looked carefully into the method: and manner of running village affairs during the last year, because the eleqtion: of Clarence A. Edwards for president and Raymond Miller and Howard E. Pearsall for trum [tees gave 'us, for the first time, unin- cumbered 'by politicians, three young, uccessful:business men, not only having their homes here, but their businesses and offices, and are 'here twenty-four hours 'in the day, so that they. mot only know what is needéd, but thoroughly get the pulse of the people, A new era began with their clection, and since that day it has been«the com: ment of, all who had anything to do with the Village Board that a real economical business administration was under way, 'The new Village Board had big and vital problems to solve at-the outset. Wor three years prio to March 1, 1920, practically no work has been done on the village roads. her these: For the: same length of time the power house, ding the street light fae fin. P rec han been nemiitied to cull to an- extent that it becanto> classed as \junk and: a mehace to the village, \{in that light and water was in danger of being shut off. 'The /next serious problem was the gas coripany's determination, throug! some agreement with the Public Service Commission, to. immediately raise al rates, without a hearing. ; The usual budget had only been pro vided by the outgoing administration, and it was the comment among friends of: the new president that he had. a mighty big task before him. The new board attrcked the probleme like couragedus business men and have solved every one of 'them. Our streets, without an extra bond issue, have been restored to normality, aiid as soon as the usual spring holdimg is dort the peo: ple will -all realize this. \ 'The power plant has practically been rebuilt, so that whem» completed, with- out further bond: issues, Freeport will have one of the finest power plants for We aremow adequately protected with Clikre, \ B. yas grovihtend published Récewithi. €. The % make the immediate, charge for an Increased rate until after the 'hearing, and it has been estimated that pretty close to $28,000 has been saved to the consumers, The new rates that are just go! into effect are the result 'of the injunction obtained on the part of the Village Board in: fighting. the proposi- tion, in the courts, 'What more could be done than this? 3 One of the mis-statements on the part of the opposition in this campaign is that the taxrate will be $2.11, and is merely.a. smoke screen.. The budget this year is but $78,000, with all the necessary moneys to be expended. We venture to say that there~will not be a village in the state that has been run so economically. as this, by this-board of business men. It must not be forgotten that the tax in 'the county, under: the town and county administrations have increased terrifically in the past year, and that the-state and school taxes increased al- most 100. per cent, and yet Freeport taxes have not increased 20 per cent. , What does this all mean? Just this. At last the Village Bourd, as elected last spring, \consists not of politicians, not of political leaders, But young, self- made, honorable, successful business men, who are each leaders in their spe- tint lines, and the prosperity and suc- cess of this village means their pros- perity and success,. A low tax mite in the pay, and all of them is large taxpayers. What more ideal situation could a at.night, the t is n; if that Is the wish of the, people, but sincd women have a vote, and the great- er majority, of then, are here during the day any complaint 'they have may be grade more agreeably to them before the. daily mgetings. This statement about night -meetings: is\ not made in good faith, and because an inquiry of the village clérk will show that the Vil: lage Board meets at 2 o'clock in the ernoon, and 'on 'meveral occasions their sessions have not closed until well on towards midnight, and probably never before 7 pm. Mr. Edwards is. against the president receiving a salary. 'The proposition for @ salary was put before the people be- cause 'the different committees on the Village Board have to sive a great deal of time to the village affairs, the vil- lage president being chairman -of all ittees, and they do-not receive any compensation for this, 'and it was thought by some that it would only. be Mrkd just to pay them something, but this newspaper is absolutely opposed to paying any salary, because unless a first class salary is pald, good business men will not be found to take the po- sition, because people measure the value men's services by the salary they te- ceive, and thus a cheap grade of men will be always looking for ese places for the money that is in it, 14W of- the; vil emphatically stand for of the yourgest and most lercury i rious Condition, but (idling Every Possible Attention Rockville Centre, March 14.-William D. Hobbs, 29, who says he has no rela- tives living, and has been. without work since bis discharge from. the «Medical j Corps at Camp Raritan, N. J., swallowed several bichloride 'of: mercugy :tablets, while walking along. the mg Beach road 'Saturday afternoon. He is in a precarious condition -in 'the Rockville Centre-Sanitarium today. Hobbs, who says his real name is Auxnux, said that he applied for work in Rosedale and was informed that if he went to Long Beach he would. find it.] After reaching there he was disappoint- | ed-and returning, swallowed the tab-] lets.. \He asked Jerry Cornwell of Rock- ville Centre, to take him to the nearest police station.. When he arrived in this village, Hobby collapsed. and was: hur-) ried to the sinitarium. Hobbs said he was born May 30, Mé- morkal Day, a son .of Adam and Bea-| trice Arxnux, who came from Germany.‘ They died when he was a boy, and he} was adopted by a family named Hobbs | of Dudley street, Boston, Mass. He has} been married, but-lost his wife and| child within eighteen. months. I Hobbs was despondent when he went in search of work, and the added diffi-} culties are believed to have caused him to swallow the mercury tablets. Dr. Arthur C. Martin, commandant of | Rockville Centre Post 303, American Le: gion, was informed of the facts, when | it was learned that Hobbs was a former service man.. He. and. several Legion members visited /the hospital and en- deavored to do what they could for him. The-commandant telegraphed to: Wash- ington 'on Saturday night, but up to noon today.had. no-reply . Hebbs also wald he came from Seattle, Washington, and teleitams were sent to persons there, known to Commandant Martin. I During the night, several members of the Legion sat by the bed of Hobbs, | and another was there this morning. The Rockville. Centre. Branch ot: the Americait -Red. Cross has arranged, through the Nassau County Chapter, to have a male nurse attend the dying man,- and: proposed with the assistance of the local organization, to defray ail expenses. Hobbs said -he had been sleeping in fields several nights, and that he had no food but coffee for several days.
