FREEPORT NEWS O u r Firemen As there seems considerable disposi tion to find fault w ith the Village Board of Fire Commissioners because our firemen are short of coats, helmets, nozzles, etc., it seems well to say em phatically th a t if the firemen do not secure all they need in the line of equipment during the coming year, the blame will belong to Chief Engineer Cozzens and not to the Fire Commis sioners. A t the last m eeting of the Board Chief Cozzens was requested to subm it a requisition of the supplies the departm ent needed, with a positive assurance th a t the money for securing same would be raised in the next tax budget. Chief Cozzens has the inter est of his firemen a t heart and will undoubtedly do his part. The Board meets to-night, at which tim e Chief Cozzens will probably pre sent his requisition in w riting for the action of the Board, which without the slghtest doubt will be favorably acted upon. And our firemen are entitled to every cents worth of supplies they get. An outsider who stands and criticises does not imagine the work of our volunteer -department. At the alarm Tuesday morning the pole of the truck of Ex celsior Hook and Ladder Company was broken and while on the way to the fire the back axle was bent; the company allowing too many comrades on the wagon, making the weight too much fo r t h e small axles. The firemen had to walk home a mile and a half, about 4 o’clock in the morning; strip the truck, take it to the blacksmith shop and go to A tlantic Avenue, nearly another mile south, for the old truck, return to the truck house and “ d ress” the old machine in readiness for anoth er alarm. It was about six o’clock when the firemen finished, after nearly three hours of work. Needless to say the gang of fire critics were not around when this was going on, nor the even ing of the same day,when another two hours was used bringing the truck back, rehanging the drop harness and shifting the apparatus. Five hours’ work in one day! This is not an ex ceptional case, only one that happened to come under our personal observation. The firemen are entitled to all the apparatus they want and they will get it! Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company is thinking of amending its by-laws so as to make the Y. W. D. A. honorary members. The Review mentioned that after the last fire a number o f ladies furnished the Excelsiors with coffee. They then promised to have the warm liquid after every alamr. They were told the next alarm would, be between two and three o’clock in the morning. They replied that they didn’t care: they would be there and when “ the Hooks” returned there was the coffee with Mrs. Nettie Wallace and Misses Hattie Peasell, Hannah Giebel and Emily Schluter waiting to serve it. The la dies are all natural firemen’s assistants, Mrs. Wallace being the wife of First Assistant Chief Wallace, Miss Peasell the daughter of ex-Chief Peasell, de- - ceased, and Misses Giebel and Schluter nieces of Assistant Foreman Schluter. While a number of the firemen were awaiting for the arrival of the old truck they were invited to a pinochle tournament at the house of Chief Wal lace, with hot coffee for all, from 4 :30 to B :80.

There are useful and useless gallons. Useful paint is lead-zinc-and-oil with dryer and color; useless paint is whit ing, china clay, ground stone, barytes, benzine, or water. This stuff is put-in, because it is cheap, to stuff-out the paint, to make more gallons to sell; of course, the buyer doesn’t suspect, or he wouldn’t buy it. It costs as much to brush-on this useless stuff as lead-zinc-and-oil; but it loolfs like that and feels like that in the' brush; the painter doesn’t suspect it. Besides, if the owner is willing,- why should the painter object to paint- the local churdrhe became impressed : jng ^wo gallons for one?
