It was the opinion of the Board that it would not be a paying proposition at the present time. Coonsal also submitted a resolution and ordinance regarding clearing up brush, dried grass, etc., around prop erty in the Village, in accordance with a request of the Fire Council. The ordinance was adopted^ and ap pear* in our advertising columns, v, E. S. Randall, representing the B. anchP. Order of Elke, requested the Beard to accept a flag for tbe Village flagr p9t# and to attend a flag raising the following afternoon; agreed. Tbe Board will meet this Friday ev ening at 8 o’clock to sign tbe assess ment roll and adopt the Village budget. Following is Counselor Fisbel’e re port: “ In accordance with your request as to method of collecting back taxes, I have this to say. That Sections 117 to 127 of the Village Law provide bow back taxes shall be collected. If your Board means by Its request that it is desirous of holding a tax sale, then formal resolutions, covering the ground that you desire, should be prepared and passed by-ypur Board. Section 119 or the Village Law pro vides that the Board of Trusteee may direct the Treasurer to sell an interest in property for an unpaid tax, and if such sale be directed the Clerk shall deliver to the Treasurer a certified copy of the assessment upon such prop erty, and all entries relating thereto contained in the assessment roll, and upon receiving such statement the treasurer shall proceed to sell at public auction an estate in such real property for the shortest period not exceeding fifty years, for which any person will take such property, and pay the tax and the percentage and interest then due, together with the expenses of the sale, which shall include giving the notice of eale, and one dollar for tbe services of the Treasurer. Section 120 provides for its publica tion in the newspapers and for the sbrvice upon the owner of tbe property. There is also another method provid ed by Section 126, of suing tbe owner of property as if upon contract. If your Board intends to hold a tax sale, I should like to have placed in my hands a list of all unpaid back taxes, as in my opinion, it would be safer to have all properties which are intended to be sold, included in your resolution. As to the legality, I can only 'say that each particular piece of property stands alone and could be attacked separately by any aggrieved owner, as there might be particular circum stances arising in each particular case.” _______ Trolley Gets Per mission for Switch A special meeting of the Village \Board of Trustees was held at tbe Vil lage office Tuesday morning, in which a communication was received from J. B. Clark, Superintendent of tbe N. Y. & L. I. Traction Co., asking permis sion to dig up Main Street and lay a ■witch In accordance with the agree ment made with the Board of Super visors.

Southard, of Ocean Side. goods and chattels to different members The new gates to protect the Henry Street crossing have been erected and it is now anticipated mat those at Grove Street, View will who cprtainly came in for their share of “ knocks,” ail of which, however, were taken in good p art After the audience had subsided from this doleful selection, Leo Snbloss the “ Orator” of the class, gave a stirring address to the Junior Class, in which much good advice and sharp criticism was contained. The Juniors say “ The Seniors can’t get up a program without us.” Accordingly Willard Van Riper, representing the Cites of 1918, pre sented each of tbe Seniors with a little token of regard. These little presents, carefully chosen to meet tbe needs of the class, threw the audience and class as well into fits of laughter. Then tbe Class Prophetess, Emily Werner, ap peared and told of the great and glori ous futures of the different members of this most illustrious class. Teach ers and lawyers there were, and great men ef every kind so that 1912 surely sdems to be tbe great elect Then Leonora King presented to the Juniors the Lantern of Wisdom, which tbe Jun iors rather ungraciously received, seeming to feel contempt for this great gift lo contrast to the bright futures predicted for the Seniors, the unhappy lot of Juniors as revealed by Louise Yeager, seemed dismal indeed. Tbe subtle wit of her prophecy, however, enlivened the thoughts and kept sad ness from marring the day. Then Beatrice Vail presented each member of the class with a token of regard, many of which were most cleverly thought out. The program closed by the singing of thq.class song, the words of which are by Miss Florence Brown, and tbe music specially composed by Henry J. Raymore for tbe class. 2 Altogether it was a pleasant day from early morning, when Juniors and Sen iors were capturing each other and locking their captives in barns, to the conclusion of the exercises when the whole class went to Johnston’s drug store and were treated to refreshmente by Mr. V/erner. The seniors presented the school with a large tablet of bronze, contain ing twenty standing figures, in relief, Of Presidents, statesmen and soldiers of this country. \ Tbe speech of presentation was made by Platt Wiggins and the tablet was accepted by Charles Robbins, principal of the school. _______ COMMENCEMENT The largest class that has ever grad uated from -Freeport High School re ceived diplomas at the commencement in the Colonial Theatre Tuesday.

Bond Raymore deliver ed the salutatory address. He was followed by Miss Martha Gebbardt, in a vocal selection. Charles 9. Chapin, Ph. D., principal of the State Normal School at Upper Montclair, N. J., spoke of school and business training, and compared the two. Peter S. Beck, valedictorian of the class, gave his address of farewell, and Samuel R. Smith, for many years President of the Board of Education, presented tbe diplomas. A throng of students received prizes for scholarship from Hiram R Smith, and Samuel R. Smith presented the spelling prize. ■I* W 3 B M ■ At the opening exercises of ttys school Tuesday morning, J. B. Dhtig- pleaeaotly surprised when he was pre sented with a large traveling clock by the teachers and tbe children that have been under hia charge during the past year.
