Let everyone who has not at this late date made other plans for tomorrow night attend this meeting and help along the good work. Those booming this af fair are good men but they apparently ned to employ an advertising agent. There is no question about-the need of an up-to-date fire alarm system in Freeport. The committee of the tire council has been considering a 20-box call system; they want to change their plans so as to include at least 50 boxes. A system if installed should include the whole village if the whole village is to be asked to pay for .t, and no other plan should be considered. The people are ready to vote fof r fire alarm sys-, tern but when they do they all want the j advantage of it; not to be asked to pay for installing the system only for the benefitxof the thickest settled districts. The committee need not be bashful— Freeport has never yet refused any thing needed for its fire department. Giving because a man or woman begs of you on the streets is not neces sarily a charity, and is more often en couraging laziness, or beggary as a business. The Brooklyn Times makes the following terse comment on this subject: “ Let us bear in mind that this is the season of the year when “ fake” beg gars swarm the streets. From Thanks giving to Christmas the popular mind is supposed to be more responsible to charitable requests. As a result, sly gentlemen and ladies, with all sorts of appeals, are trying to prey upon the public. It is best to hear in mind that this city is full of charity organiza tions which need all the contributions that the people of this city can afford to give away. They work systematical ly And help only the deserving. He who begs because he can live better and more sumptuously tl%t way than by la boring, will not be among those aided by such societies. He who gives at at the Atlantic Avenue crossing. Just as the ponderous ma chine had reached about the centre of both east and west-bound tracks, the weight of the machine caused its wheels to sink through the heavy tim bers of which the crossing is construct ed. Every effort was made to remove the obstacle without avail, and all approaching trains were .stalled at this point so that all easterly villages were unable to receive their favorite evening paper until long after 6 o’clock. After every effort had failed to re move the steam trench til lei;, a number of hydraulic jacks were procured and the machine elevated sufficiently to permit the insertion of a number of heavy timbers of which a crossing was constructed before it was possible for the machine to proceed.
