Col. 5) Authority of the special police in. quiry committee of the Common Council to command a private cm- acre ract or nich new proceed- testimony in connection with the investigation of police affairs has been challenged by George B. Cody, described as a distributor of vending machines. It was learned today that Mr.

Cody had refused yesterday to obey a summons from the committee, apparently causing cancellation of a session arraigned by Alderman Sherman G. Robinson, committee chairman. Meantime Mayor Robert P. Anderson was closeted with Police Chief Percival E. Bennett this morning as he brought his own private inquiry toward a close.

Long Pond comprises 39.17 acres, adjacent to the West Point-Cen- sider more than departmental fac- tral Valley highway. It has been a Summer camp site for a number of Nevi York City vacationers for some years.

Hunting lodges and deer camps are scattered among the surrounding mountains. Long drawn out litigation is ex'" pected to ensue concerning owner. ship of Long Pond and the value of the properties to be taken. Mr. Cahiil revealed today that ownership of tlie lake remains in doubt.

The new fiscal year began at midnight last night. Tire special session, which approached final action on the revised Republican economy budget vesterciay, only to meet opposition from Go'veraor Lehman, decided to stand in virtual recess until after Lehman, of course, refused to send a special message to the ex- way for immediate passage of the budget bill, in accordance with the I Court of Appeals decision holding the original OOP budget invalid. F.x»mmes Moffal Bill The first step towards emergency financing came from the Public Controversy over the propriety of a water meter installation on the new High school project, estimated to save the general contractor more than 82,000 in charges, will lie followed by a suit to compel the city to restore the fiat rate. This was admitted today by Attorney An- J. Veraldi, who, however, withheld the name of his client until summons and complaint have been served.

The installation of a meter on the project was sharply criticized by Alderman Sherman G. Robinson a week ago, after it had stirred considerable discussion throughout the community. Subsequently Mayor Robert P. Anderson appeared before the Council and accepted full responsibility for the installation. He offered an opinion by Walter E.

Deisseroth, the corporation counsel. Public Works'had a discretionary i metpr to nny premises where it was deemed advisable. Waiving of stated building rates, in favor of a meter charge was estimated to save Kane Pavia. the school contractors, more than $2,000. Under the flat charge system, their total water cost was estimated roughly at $3,000.

Orange County paid a sum ast year to reimburse farmers in the vicinity of the Sarah Wells trail for chickens killed by the pack, which seems to make its headquarters in Purgatory Swamp. Numbers of the dogs, evidently a mixture of German Shepherd and and possibly some other large breeds, have been shot in recent months by Mr. McCulley in his capacity as constable when they raided chicken yards.

But until the quarantine he was not authorized to go after them. Several years ago a pack of wild dogs was reported in the vicinity of Monroe. Posses which hunted them at that time killed many, but now it seems as though they had merely succeeded in chasing them into other regions. Ti is believed that the pack" now in the Puroga- Examiners Report Irregularities in put i Mil a Excessive Mileage for Payment of illegal claims, allowance of excessive mileage rates to constables, and stibmittal of special claims against the town by its elective officials were among the criticisms of conditions in Deerpark Township, reported by examiners from the staff of Comptroller Morris S. Tremaine for the period from January' first, 1037, to July W3B.

''Surprisingly heavy" was the official report on traffic by railroad and highway through this area today. The Summer exodus from New York, virtually under leash r.ll i Spring had at- last broken loose. Special trains of. the O. V.

and Erie railroads were carrying about 5,000 children today to the Summer camps of vacationland and the railroads expected to exceed that by several thousand tomorrow. Extra and regular trains also vrere filled with adults. Automobiles, some of them piled iiigh with suitcases, baby carriages, and articles of all descriptions formed a steady stream of iiorth- aound traffic with resulting calls to Police Departments for extra policemen for traffic duty. The highway flow was bothered by a heavy thundershower last night. Near Monroe this caused a general blackade of Route Seventeen traffic for more than an hour where a large tree was blown across the highway.

State highway workers were called to remove it. Hit-Run Driver Sought Until this morning accidents on the highways remained of a comparatively minor nature and then the State Police teletype system pounded out a general alarm. lor a hit-and-run driver who critically injured a Town of WallkiU child north of the city, pushed out of his car a hitch-hiker he had given a lift, and-fled. Seven other persons were hurt in other mishaps. The child, Jeniva Hogenkamp, thirteen, of R.

D. One, Middletown, was brought to Horton Memorial Hospital by ambulance. She was suffering from severe injuries of the. skull and left foot, and abrasions of the face and.back and arms. The unidentified driver's southbound car crasneu into iier wmu: she was riding her bicycle on Route Seventeen near The Maples.
