VOL. #. No. «. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE VILLAGE OF FREEPORT. FREEPORT, N. T , FRIDAT, SEPTEMBER 1, 1016. OFFICIAL REPUBLICAN PAPER OF NASSAU COUNTY. PRICE TWO CENTS $16,000 FOR A PARK Will A#lt For Special Election To Vote Bond Issue. Put Matter Up To Taxpayers That the committee of public spir ited citizens Who formed themselves Into an association to try a keep the approach to the village by train beautified and not marred by a fac tory, was evidenced by their decision at a meeting held at 31 Railroad ave nue Wednesday evening. They now plan to hold a consultation with the village board on the advisability of calling a special election for the purpose of having the taxpayers de cide whether a bond issue for the the amount of the purchase price shall be levied on the taxable proper ty in the village. If the board Calls for a special meeting the taxpayers will be given an inside price on the strip of land in question. As stated in The Post last week, Elvin N. Edwards has started an agitation to have the vil lage acquire title to the land between the pipe-line and the railroad tracks and between Bergen place and Long Beach avenue. It was originally in tended that a popular subscription be taken up, until an amount between $12,000 and $16,000 had been raised. A committee consisting of John D. Gunning, Daniel Morrison and Sidney H. Swezey was appointed by Chair man Alfred T. Davison to investigate into facts. The committee was asked to report back at a meeting last Wednesday. A a stated before, the committee went over the situation from every angle and came to the conclusion ^ that a fund of $16,000 by popular, subscription would be impossible. The only way to bring the matter to a h e * is to have the people of the village vote on a proposition deal ing with the subject. If the taxpay ers are willing to have a factory on the site of the approach to the vil lage by train, it is up to them. If they think it harmful, they will vote to raise a bond issue, which will not be a great added expense and will hardly be felt. # A committee including A. T. Davi son, Elvin N. Edwards, John J. Dolan, and the original three, will meet with the village board next Thursday. If the board agrees, a petition will be filed requesting a special elec tion. It was decided that if John J. Randall, who donated $1,000 when the matter of acquiring title to the land was broached to him, wished to continue his donation, it will be spent in adding to the beauty of the land. The property here will be curbed and sidewalked, and Ippropri- ately converted into a flower garden, with a fountain Installed in the center. RETURNS FROM VACATION Miss Florence A. McIntosh of 331 Rockaway Avenue, Rockville Centre, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander McIntosh, has returned from Penn Van, New York, where she spent a delightful two weeks vacation as the guest of Mrs. Balcom and her sister, Miss Edith McIntosh.

The Q u ality D rug Store : MAIN STREET, FREEPORT The Pequots made no idle boast when they declared that this year’s Stag Outing would be a record-break er. It was. Exactly one hundred and fifty-two democrats placed their legs beneath the mahogany of Jack Bates, at the White Cannon Inn, East Rock away, Saturday night last. They came from near and tar, but chiefly, ot course, from the South Shore the eastern end of which was especially well represented. North Shore Dem- ocrats are gradually realizing that there are a lot of Democrats out here, and that the Pequots are doing good, disinterested work in rounding them up for effective party service. The outing w-as the largest gathering of practical party workers that has been seen over here since the days when Del Brower held the reins and the Hempstead Democracy was a power to' be dealt with and was recog nized as such by the State leaders of Democracy. The blind pianist of the White Cannon Inn drew from Dr. Bulson's broad-brimmed sombrero the lucky prize winners. These were: \Bob” Brower, who got the forty-dollar lamp contributed by Tribesman Henry Ker- rando, and which he will find useful, possibly necessary, in lighting his pathway to the sheriff’s office. Dr. J. Carl Schmach won the 500-mileage ticket and County Committeeman Ed. Makopske, of Wantagh, the combina tion cane and umbrella. The music and singing by Jack Bates’ artists was highly appreciated. Seated at “Ye Table of Head Men,” as the menu card expressed it, were the following Democrats, who “cut ice” in their party, each of whom responded to the call of Dr. Bulson for “a few words,” the description of each being that furnished by the Pequots on their menu card: Grand Sachem, Dr. Devillo N. Bul son presiding. Congressman John F. Carew, of ye greate City of Manhattan, and a tribesman of ye famed Tammany. Congressman Lathrop Brown, our good friend, of Washington, D. C., a little later on. Dr. Philip J. Brennan, of Kings County, who will be ye Democratic candidate for Supreme Court in this judicial district. Dr. J. Carl Schmuck, of Lawrence, a tit Democrat of ye Branch of Hempstead. Daniel J. Hegeman, ye honest Treasurer of ye faire County of Nassau, whose keys are sought by ye covetous and gluttonous ones of ye tribe called Republican. Judge James P. Niemann, ye juste Judge, than whom none better is fitted to render judgments for ye people of Nassau. George M. Goodale, ye likliest can didate for State Senator, who has appeared on ye Democratic turf in many moons. Thomas O’Connell, ye suave chair man of ye Democratic County Com mittee. Edward S. Keogh, ye progressive chairman of ye Hempstead Town Committee. Franklin G. Hill, ye likely succes sor of nimble Stephen, at Mineola Court House. Felix Reifschneider, Jr. ye’ proude wearer of a Federal tile. Rev. Garvin Smith, of ye First Church of Malverne, a true believer in our Watchful Leader. Bert Gardner, ye State Committee man who steers ye party bark in goodly fashion creditable to all. NEW R. R. SCHEDULE Goes Into Effect SepL 6th. New Theatre Train For Freeporters Few Changes Long Island theatre-goers, especial ly those who arc attending shows in the city on Sunday evenings, and Ixmg Island actor-folks, who are ■be ginning in large numbers to Inhabit villages on the south side, notably Freeport, will be happy to learn that the Long Island Railroad has made provision for them in its autumn time table, which goes into effect on Sep tember 6. \ new Sunday night train for Babylon has been provided for, leaving the Pennsylvania station at 11:30 p. m. This train will make its first stop at Lynbrook. Comparatively few of the summer trains will be discontinued, owing, it is believed, to the fact that many summer residents of Long Island will remain much longer at tjielr country homes than ever before. The likli- hood that the city ^chools will open later than usual may have something to do with this. The service on the Montauk Divis ion will remain unchanged until Oct ober 17. \ l FAIR STARTS 26TH Vegetables, Fruit and Flower Depart ments To Have Record Exhibit Numerous Prizes The Vegetable, Fruit and Flower departments of the Mineola Fair held under the auspices of the Agricultur al Society ol Queens-Nassau Coim- ties on Tuesday, September 26, to Saturday, September 30th will be complete exhibits in all details.

The entries close on September 16th. In addition to the prizes offered by the Agricultural Society the Ixmg Is land Railroad is offering first and second prize of $20.00 and $10.00 for the best fruit grown by exhibitors in Queens and Nassau Counties.

They sucumbed to the prowess of Jackson and Schmway, of the Terrace Club, of Brooklyn. The two Bay View boys essayed winning the championship of the Bensonhurst- Bay Ridge-Bath-Beach sections, but were eliminated only after a hard spurt. The scores were 6-2, 6-4. Warren Wright and “Eddie” Wltte- meyer, of the Bay View Club, were eliminated in the Nassau County championship doubles at Rockville Centre, by Murphy and Gallon, of the Forest Hill Club, Saturday, by scores of 4-6, 6-1, 6-0. The winners are at top speed. Gallon is in the semi finals for the county singles cham pionship. After defeating Dr. Kice and Smith, of the Baldwin Club, in the doubles by scores of 6-1, 6-4, Clyde C. Wallace and Harrison B. Wright lost to the same pair that conquered over the other Bay View players, Murphy and Gallon. The scores were 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. The result of Wallace and Wright’s game was no disgrace to the Bay View contingent, as this pair is likely to return the winners of the doubles tournament. Their biggest obstacles will be R. H. Boggs, of Rockville Centre, and L. M. Burt, sin gles champion of Nassau County, who teamed up and defeated Campbell and Hutcheson, of Crescent, the pres ent holders of the doubles champion ship, by scores of 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

HEWLETT INDICTMENTS END Supreme Court Justice Callaghan Tuesday dismissed the four indict ments against Former Police Chief Charles M. Hewlett, all growing out of the dispute between Hewlett and high officials in the village of Long Beach. Tragedy to the dirge of “Grim Death” trailed in what was intended as a little pleasure jaunt, involving George Boyden, Jr., son of Policeman George Boyden, of Church street; Howard (Kintie) Smith, of Main tsreet and Frank Reynolds, of Smith street, when an automobile in which they were riding along the Merrick road, east of Helen street, overturn ed Tuesday morning. Boyden, who was driving, was hurled into the road and received a fractured skull. He was hurried to the Nassau Hos pital, where he died that day. Smith was also thrown out on the hard road and sustained severe injuries to his legs and arms and head. Rey nolds was thrown into the field and his injuries were slight. Smith and Boyden were taken in an ambulance to the hospital, where Boyden was immediately operated on. Reynolds were carried to the home of Dr. William H. Runcie for per sonal treatment. The accident oc curred shortly after midnight. The men were in Al. Gately’s automobile, of which they had the loan. According to the first arrivals on the scene, Boyden was driving in a poorly-lighted section and was mak ing considerable speed when he spied three colored persons in the road. The automobile was driving directly at them. It was certain that the auto must either strike the pedestrians or turn turtle, as the turn necessary to save the lives of the pedestrians was a sharp one. Boyden took the one __ chance left, and turned the automobile out of the way of the pedestrians. The ac cident was inevitable. The car turn ed over on its side and rolled over on its top. The men had presence ot mind enough to jump, but they w:ere too late and were, instead, hurled out. Boyden struck on his head. The other two were more fortunate. A passing autoist saw the plight of the three men, while the colored trio disappeared from sight. He notified police headquarters. In the station at the time was Policeman FREEPORT PERSONALS INSPECT WATERWAYS Project To Chart The Harbor And .Make Ultaiinels For Visiting Craft To Beach Village 'Elmer Raynor, he assisted in sending Drs.

He was directed to cause new mark ers to be erected at a cost not to ex ceed $10 each. The clerk was author ized to secure bids for the dredging of Parsonage Creek, Baldwins and High Plate, Freeport.

His condition was not satisfactory in,the earlier part of the week, but it is reported today that he is on the way to recovery. His many friends are concerned over his condition. The engagement of Miss Adele Plump, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred K. Plump, to Leo Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Anderson, is announced. The couple are well known in Freeport. Miss Plump is dredging a more permanent thing. A cut through the island will lessen ti | ,> distance through the creek by TUP feet, being 1,800 feet instead of 2,fOo. and will be an item of expense in the labor. It is the intention of Engineer Jackson to make charts of the entire waterway system here, in the future every island will be mounumented. Some now are, but every one will be, and a complete buoy system as obtains in New York Harbor, will be introduced here. It will take time. It cannot be done with one appropri- ‘ation of $10,000, but by an annual appropriation, covering a few years it can be completed to perfection. One needed improvement that will be completed shortly, however, is the marking of channels lor the aid of boat owners. Large signs will be staked, indicating where each creek or channel leads to, with the name of the particular creek or channel noted thereon.
