FREED FROM BLAME That the death of Miss Mary Mona- who was killed on August 6 at Bellmore station by a passing was not the fault of the railroad \ result of the inquest conduct- judge Wilbur F. Southard. great many years unless it is possi ble to foist it off on the public as they are trying to do now. “Two of the other plots are located on Atlantic avenue between Grove street and Sportsman avenue. The ground, which originally was meadow land, has been filled in, but is still low. No cellar can be dug without creating an artificial lake. It would be all right for an aquarium or a school for aquatics, but not for a reg ular school. “The fourth plot is immediately north of the orphan asylum, located at the head of Woodcleft Canal, and the objections to the two other plots just referred to applies to this with equal force if not more so. “Let us go into this matter a little further. When the Boanj started in the spring looking up school sites we conferred with the very man who put out the advertisement referred to and he, over his signature, advised us as follows: “ ‘There is the property known as i the George W. Bergen property the south side of Merrick road, west of Ocean avenue. I believe that this is 325 feet frontage and about 450 feet deep. This would make, in my opinion, a very desirable location for a high school.’ “In other words the man who is now trying to induce the people to consider the purchase for public use of some very undesirable property owned by his people, suggested that Proposition No. 2 would make a most desirable site for a high school. “I leave it to you to reach your own conclusions and final connection with these four sites which the Nassau County Review in furthering the prop- oganda of the opposition states ex posed the failure of the school board to secure a representative list of sites. Had we recommendeS any of them you would have taken immediate steps to have our sanity looked into or pre ferred charges against us for ques tionable neglect of duty.” Others More Favorable Mr. Baker then spoke of the other sites advertised by Stephen Pettit and William G. Miller and told why the Board of Education had rejected them. He wished it known that the Board had treated the question without any prejudice one way or the other and that they were sure of the fact that they had done their best by the peo ple of the community. Lloyd R. Cutler rose to state that “the clique of real estate - men had made a bum job of the whole affair.” William S. Hall made a motion to the effect that speeches be limited to five minutes, which motion was car ried. Rev. J. Sidney Gould spoke a few words in favor of the Story property providing it was extended to Smith street, when the site would have more than a one street frontage. Cost More Next Time C. Herbert Kerr, one of the real es tate men designated by the Board to select sites stated that the Board had worked a whole year in order to get the sites presented by them. He said that if the people waited for yiother year available lots would cost much more than they do now. Stephen Pettit declared that the meeting was fast assuming propor tions of a real estate men’s meeting. When Freeport was ready to build a school there would always be plots available, he said, and if they could not be bought, they could be obtained through condemnation proceedings. “It is better to wait for relief than to go ahead and build a monument for the village,” he said. A. T. Davison rose to say that he had looked into the cost of building schools in Brooklyn and that in three years a certain type of school house had jumped in cost of building from $276,963 to $822,000. He stated the case of Hempstead, who has started a high school and will not be able to fin ish it for anything near the estimated cost. The present building will accom-1 modate 650 pupils,” he said. “There are 250 attending now and the State Board of Education cannot condemn the present building as their specifica tions only apply to buildings in the course of erection. This present school will do for five years more. Col leges have buildings one hundred years old and take pride in them.” People Start Booing When Benjamin Asch remarked to the effect that he was sending his eon out of town to school because of the fact that Freeport could not give him proper educational advantages. He was greeted with booing. Mr. Asch pointed out the importance of a swim ming pool and athletic field which would tend to educate the physical side of children as well as the mental | Hiram R. Smith Supervisor Smith asked for fair play. He stated that no inluences were at work at any time and that the opposition were honest in their opin ion. Personally he was not in favor of the' Merrick road sites because it seemed extriwagant for bare ent school the purposes because pf the fact that the question of a sewer system would come up in the near future. Edmund Lumley said that both teachers and pupils were at a disad vantage in Free pert due to the fact that classes were beiag held in the basement, and attic of the Grove St. School and that there were more Free port children going out of town to school than there were outsiders com ing in. “Education is worth the price, i W m i . i x 2 88 FIREMEN’S DAY INFREEP0RT (Continued from Page 1) “The Gray Elks’’ The new band of Freeport Lodge of Elks furnished excellent music throughout the afternoon, playing in the morning for the Roosevelt depart ment. The annual parade and inspec tion was called off on account of the lateness of the hour and the big day for the firemen ended with a huge block dance, where the prizes were given out.

George DuBois, Superintendent of Schools, again brought to light the fact that in the Archer Street School three classes were on part time and that two classes in the Grove Street School ought to be. Conditions this fall will be worse than ever, he said, in the matter of holding part time classes. A woman school teacher from New York said that in the city the part time system was used and that the children got the same instruction as all day pupils. Appeals To Vote Down Sites Frank Stevens appealed to the peo ple to vote down all three sites be cause of the fact that Freeport did not need a high school, but another grade school which would relieve the present congestion. He recited the fact that Rockville Centre had bought a site and would erect a building, the whole not to cost a hundred thousand dollars. He believed that in five years sites would be on the market for thirty or forty thousand dollars. Moves To Adjourn Capt. J. Huyler Ellison moved to adjourn the meeting without voting a£rall and it was put to ballot result ing in the motion being lost.

On Labor Day, Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 held an outdoor carnival in the afternoon, beginning at 3:00 o’clock, with races, similar to those of the Fourth of July celebration. In the evening there was dancing in the hall. Refreshments were served both after noon and evening. The affair seems to have been a success, judging from the turnout; the town was well repre sented and it is to be hoped that the motor truck fund increased even be yond the most sanguine expectations of the members of No. 1. Prizes similar to those given on the Fourth were given the winners of the different events and all seemed satis fied and happy at the results. The married men scored another victory in winning the baseball game between the married and single men —the second during the season, and as there were but two games, the benedicts’ baseball efficiency is now pronounced 100 per cent. Keep it up, benedicts, and further prove to your better halves (?) that you are still the same sports you were when single. Prize Winners Of Races At Fire Co.

My dear Miss Hess:— Thank you very much for the pic ture, your own work, which you pre sented to the fair through Mrs. Snod grass. It was indeed very good of you and your kindness is greatly ap preciated. The work was the means of bringing a goodly sum into the treasury of what seems to me a most successful event. I think .that we shall net $1,000 as the result of the hard work of our good ladies and their friends. The fair was not only a successful financial event, but it fur nished an opportunity to discover in what fine feeling everybody was work ing.

TO .REMODEL BUILDING The Temple Israel trustees have planned to remodel the Lawrence Pri vate School at Lawrence, which they have purchased. The alterations are estimated to cost $50,000. The plans call for twelve large class rooms and an office for the superintendent and rabbi, spacious enough to be used as a class room when necessary. The upper floor is arranged as an auditorium that will seat 350, with stage for entertain ments. The floor may be used for dancing and social affairs, and the ne cessary accommodations for large gatherings will be supplied. There will be a kitchen and service facilities to cater for any group up to 300, and the congregational and Wo men’s Auxiliary dinners will be held in this centre. Special arrangements are provided for the needs of the Sew ing Circle of the congregation. It is expected that the work will be com pleted early next year. ------------ i ------------- PRETTY DOUBLE WEDDING A pretty pair of Freeport twins were married Wednesday when Em ma Belle Hess became the wife of Harry Bowers, jr., of Baldwin and El la Mae Hess was married to Thomas F.

MILES OF TELEPHONE POLES T* accommodate the building of a highway between two eastern cities the local telephone company recently performed the remarkable feat of moving its entire pole line, of 430 poles, ten feet to one side without cut ting a circuit or interrupting service on any of the wires. Xfie work was done by six men, in two gangs, with five pole jacks for lifting the poles from their holes, says an illustrated article in the June number of Popular Mechanics Magazine. It was started by raising the first five poles one foot, they going back and raising the first four another foot, and the first three another, and then the first two a total of four feet, finally the first pole was lifted clear of the ground and rail roaded over to the new hole prepared for it by sliding it on a 10-foot oak plank.
