Among the items which will appear on Over Two Thousand Voters Interested in Contest for Offices long the Items which will appea the calendar for attention will be be: The gas question. The retiring Vil lage Board has this matter as well in hand as At could be done, but the \People's” candidates have special promises to fulfill along this line, and if they do not succeed is getting the gas back to the old rate of $1.40 per 1000 and the minimum rate of $1.00 per month eliminated, they will have to do a lot of explaining. In view of —Miller and Pearsall for Trustees NO MUNICIPAL BUILDING—EARL SITE FAVORED With over 2000 votes casein the village election Tuesday, the Peo ple's Ticket, headed by Clarence A. Edwards for President, defeated the Citi zens’ Ticket, with Henry J. McCord for President by a vote of over 2 to 1. TTie two People’s candidates for Trustees won out over Bedell, oh the ^ ^ _ .Citizens’ Ticket by 461 and 317 respectively.

We are fortunate in having Mr. Bond for this wofk at any price—he should be ade quately compensated. . Street lighting. It is no secret now, and was not during the cam paign, that the so-called Bennington Park section was almost solidly in fav- j or of the People’s Ticket. They felt that this might secure for them some of the attention to which they prop erly feel they were entitled.' The lighting facilities in that section are not commensurate with that of the rest of the village, but the new members who are practically pledged to remedy this lack of attention to this section will find that the lighting system is over crowded, and in depleted conditions following the postponement of exten sive Improvements during the war per- iod. ■ We are asked why it is that only i Hebrew Association, which was held small bulbs are ppt in this section and i »t the South Shore Hotel Saturday a large light put in front of “Steve | night, was a pleasing social event, and Pettit’s house in the middle of a | well attended.

Chief Williams certainly figured big in the results on the election in our little vil lage. He workt hard from the time he first started out to find candidates for the ticket until the last voter was in—and he is naturally rather proud of the results. Election day, tho, was only a small feature of the work—we must now all get back of the Board of Trustees and boost for Freeport—and there is work enuf p)r everybody, Raymond Miller’s Run And speaking of the election, the most remarkable result of the day was the run of Mr. Miller for Trus tee. Mr. Miller did not ask for any votes; he figured that if his neigh bors wanted him they would say so, and that he would give them the best, he had—and he will—and the vote showed the confidence they had in this one of our citizens whh was entirely without a record on which to gage his The conditions with Mr. Pearsall were different in that there was an active campaign against him on the part of certain groups, which made an active campaign necessary and he got “some vote.\ The Writer must admit that he ex pected a much larger vote for Mr. Be dell, judging by results in previous el ections. that sufficient reasons do not exist for closing the one complained of at the station. The L. I. R. R. has not made a good case for itself in closng this gate and deserves all the hard things said about it.
