During his visit there he made several t r i p s over to Freeport and liked the people and the village. He saw great possibili ties here, commercially. He p u r chased a small home here and be came a resident. 1-ater he acquired title to all that land in the south easterly section of the village owned by the late Alexander Rhodes. When Captain Hanse took posses sion then the assessed valuation of the five acre tract was $2,300. He be gan developments and today the a s sessed valuation is close to $100,000, due exclusively to the persistency of the indefatigable Hanse, whose will is of the never-say-die kind. He has erected a num b e r of beautiful homes here—homes that do credit to the vil lage and had made a section of that once, forgotten section, that is sec ond to none in F r e e r o r t . Indeed, it has advantages that are lacking in other parts of the village. The homes arc stucco, and frame, with large sunny rooms, and every modern convenience. They are ideal ly situated only two blocks from the heart of the village. Part of his prop erty there, now known as Hanse Park, touches on the Merrick road.

A Ger man, Joe Russ, long a village trun- tee, aspires to he village president. A Frenchm a n , ('apt. Carty, resigned the office of village trustee espec ially to go out and give Russ battle, and now comes along an American, Counsellor- at-law, Ed. Wright, wno at the earnest request of many vil lagers, will go to the mat with them both. Wright Is progressive and ag gressive. Village Improvement is his motto and according to some of his fellow men, this is badly needed. The village board reminds them of a society iof lelderly women who do their knitting In public, but have never yet finished a single sock. If they are to be believed, the Board Freeport, and the Captain is a con vincing speaker, so the subject is well handled. After spending about ten years in the village, Captain Hanse bad for- mulated many ideas of village gov ernm e n t . He is president of the Freeport Improvement association ihat strove successfully to get thru the bond issue for $50,000 for Ihe im provement of the village streets with Peekskill gravel and for their main^ tenance. In 1912 he ran for village president, defeating John D. G u n n ing, who had held the office a year. When (’apt. Hanse was elected he w-ent in under trying circum s t a n c e s . The taxpayers had been paying a n nually large appropriations and hav ing been burdened with the $50,000 bond issue the year before, they vot ed down every appropriation submit ted.

I note that a petition has been filed with the Town Board requesting that a proposition he submitted to the tax payers for the expenditure of $75,- 00b for the election of a new town hall building. I desire to express through your paper to the tax payer- my opinion as to the importance of having new quarters for housing of towrn docu ments for the largest, richest ami most progressive town in the State of New Y o r k . My official position as one of he Town Assessors probably impresses me more forcibly than the tax payer who is not ro closely connected with the town government. The present town hall is one of the worst fire traps and most dangerous buildings of any municipal building probably in the Slate of New York. The tax payers of the Town of Hempstead have much to he thankful for in that j this building lias not caught fire. | If a fire occurred, conditions being ' just right, every town record which tie outside of the would be entirely destroyed. Th< protection of the assessment roll is of the most importance because with out it the town government would cease to run The good roads, the i schools, the special districts such as light, water, gas and electricity I would all tie affected in as much as i the assesmont roll is the means of providing for the collection of taxes and money to run the town govern ment. Now it may he said that if the assessm e n t roll burned the as sessors could make a new’ roll, but my firm belief is that it would take all of ten years to complete all the data to properly complete the tax roll. There are some 1,175,000 p a r cels in the Township of Hempstead with over $68,000,000 assessed valu ation. so the question of preparing a new assessment roll in ease of the town hall burning and these books were destroyed is a very serious one. It makes little difference where the new town hall is located. The m a t t e r of location should not be con sidered by the tax payers, but a new town hall should he provided and provided with the least possible de- FLOOD CONDITIONS ALONG SOUTH SIDE City Shuts Down Pump ing Stations-Men Out of Work Are you interested in collecting rare coins and antiques ?
