Following the aervice tba children will enjoy a Chrietmae tree and the presents, in cluding candy aad oranges will be dis tributed. atus and the possibilities of fire in fire houses, the following item clipped from a firemanic paper and handed me, is of interest: “ Fire broke out last week in the truck house of the C. H. Evans Hook and Ladder Co.. No. 3, Hudson, and before it was extinguished about $5,000 damage was done. The uni forms of the company were destroyed. ” At the last meeting of the Village Board, the question of selling property for unpaid taxes was brought up, and as usual on this matter nothing was done. The prediction in this column that the Village Tr stees have no desire to hold a tax sale, seems to be fully warranted by their action. The matter was put up to Counselor Fishel, who reported that the sale would p.’ohably cost $10,000. His fig ures may be all right, but 1 think we can get it done much cheaper, as I have no doubt the Messenger, which is the official paper, will be willing to meet the village half wey in any effort to clear up this tax sale, and the ex pense would be considerably less than $ 6 , 000 . But even if it were as much as that, the village could not stand to lose on the transaction, as Freeport property wili not have to be bought in by the village if the tax sale can be held in . legal order, and as Counselor Fishel has been the regular advisor of the Village Board for several years past, there will be no trouble on that score. As matters stand now, people who have been paying their taxes are in no humor to tolerate further delay, and allowing some of the property owners in the village to go for years without paying their taxes. And, by the way, answering Trustee Sigmond’s proposition that these bills be given to an attorney for collection, the village to nay him the commision, I will take this occasion to say that I doubt very much if such a proposition would be legal, and if it is not, I will personally oppose spending any more money in this way than has already been done. It is nearly three months ahead of time, but there is already much dis cussion as to who should be the mem bers of our next Village Board of Trustees. The term of Trustee Col- lard and Bedell and President Gunning expire and their successors will have to be elected at the election in March.
