As village president, Mr. Edwards has shown that his undiv'de. time and interest belongs to Freeport, and the «ame may be said of all members of the Village Board, heir loyalty to Freeport is a pleasant thing to see ^^and is always evident. JK Mr. Edwards believes that the vil- ' tlage as a whole deserves impartial a t tention and that has been one of his policies. The repairing of streets has been going on as rapidly- as possible, and the perfection of the lighting sys tem is taking shape as fast as the present handicaps can be overcome. The village board has been through a most trying year with the problem of high cost of labor and material making needed improvements in tin- village difficult to negotiate,.but Free- pert-is growing all the time and she is proud of the help that she is receiv ing.from her officials. And that ap plies to the fire and police departments as well as other village offices. President Edwards showed excel lent judgment in appointing Capt. John N. Hartmann as head of the po lice department. Capt. Hartmann has shown excellent judgment at the prop- k er time and with the help of the ex- \ cellent force has made the police de partment a well oiled machine that i< functioning with one hundred per cent, efficiency.
