Bisland was lather of the dollar for dollar bill for highways and also was originator of the famous buck deer law still in force in New York state, practically in its original form. Among other members of the board, Supervisor Bisland is known as one of the ablest leaders in the fifteen supervisors in Sullivan county and as one of the most astute political leaders in the Republican county organization. Mr. Bisland was born in 1871 at Glen Spey. His parents, Mr.

and Mrs James Bisland, came from New York to the Town of Lumber-land before the Civil War and were among the early settlers of that region. Mr Bisland was a sash and blind maker, later became a prosperous fanner. The son. was sent to New- York, where he attended the public schools. Supervisor Bisland -was elected assessor on the Republican, ticket in the town when only twenty-two years old.

although the town had a Democratic majority at that tune of more than 100 voters. He served as town clerk for two years and was first elected supervisor in 1901. He was elected assemblyman from Sullivan county in 1905 and 1906 and was the only candidate ever to defeat the late Judge George H. Smith It was when Mr. Bisland went to Albany in 1915 that he requested an additional game protector for Sullivan county and the position was offered to him if he wbuM Mr.

Bisland resigned from office as game protector last August. While in the assembly, it was Bisland who introduced the law freeing the toll roads in Sullivan county and it was in 1902 that he introduced a resolution for passage of the buck deer law, opening the season only from November 1 to November 15. "They had a great time with me in Sullivan county in those days and for some days I -was an object almost of ridicule, but we got the resolution, passed -when the supervisors investigated the situation and discovered that the deer were being rapidly wiped out," said Mr. Bisland. "Credit should be given to the people of Lumberland.

PAYLESS LEAVE PLAN APPROVED BY ALDERMEN Continued jrom page one vacation with pay. Mr. Royce confirmed the opinion of Alderman Anthony J. Veraldl that approval of the Board of Estimate's recommendation would supercede the rule; Fire Chief W. M.

Seeley then ex plained that fire drivers felt they would lose the equivalent of four weeks' pay in former years by the resolution. Harold S. LaPolt and Alderman Veraldi pointed out the Board of Estimate's resolution said, "officers and employes shall, before December first, 1932, receive and take a leave of absence or vacation of two weeks and during such period of leave of absence or vacation no such officer or employe shall receive any compensation from the city treasury." The resolution does not embody the plan suggested by Mayor Clarence C. VanJPleet for laying up one pumper fire truck and thereby eliminating employment of regular drivers for vacation relief in all companies except the Hook and Ladder, they noted. Drivers Worked Double Shift The practice in past years'has been for drivers to remain on duty twenty-four hours day for two weeks receiving regular pay lor twelve hours and pay as -vacation relief drivers for the other twelve hours.

This enabled each driver to draw two week's extra salary for vacation relief work in addition to two week's salary during his own vacation period. The resolution will deprive fire drivers of pay during their two weeks vacation but. unless other action is taken, they will draw pay as before for vacation relief duty. Fire Chief Seeley and a representative of the drivers both agreed this was satisfactory. "The drivers are perfectly willing to take two weeks without pay the same as other employes but they considered it an Injustice to lose four weeks," Mr.

Seeley said. The question arose on who had the authority to take a fire truck out of service. Mr. Royce ruled, on a charter section cited by Mr. La- Polt, that such authority rests finally in the Common Council.

Any hesitancy which some members of the Council may have had on approving the Board of Estimate's recommendations apparently vanished after two short sefiou's by Mr. Royce; the other by Edwin P. Valkenburgh, council president. Mr. Royce presented vividly the likelihood of a marked falling off in collection of the second installment of 1932 taxes and its effect, coupled with thousands of dollars in taxes now delinquent, upon the city's 'unds.

Mr. VaHcenburgh in equally strong noted the four months delay before the Board of Estimate found a satisfactory plan. "If anyone here has a better plan let's hear about it nnd I will arrange a conference with the Board of Estimate. If no one has a better t)lan. let's adopt this one." Some Council members suggested elimination of certain jobs.

"There is nothing to, prevent our taking action if you want to after we lave this in effect. The Board of intimate felt this plan the best one 'or the remainder of the year but I predict drastic action when next year's budget is made up." He suggested that further cuts might sibly be necessary to keep the present budget balanced. Director Gets $88 a Week The Council, after discussing a slash. of the recreation appropria- decided to call a member of the Recreation, Commission into conference Monday night. The salary of Frederic P.

Singer, director of re- ireation is $700 for eight weeks or $88 a week. His pay is at approximately the same rate lie receives as orincipal of Memorial Junior Hipch School during ten months of the year. Fire Chief Seeley was questioned on the attitude of the Fire Department on the proposal to dispense the annual parade. "As far as am concerned it doesn't matter one way or the other. But four of the seven companies want a parade.

They regard it as the get-together day of the year." "If we don't save money we'll together in the poorhouse," remarked Mr. LaPolt, aside. Chief Seeley was requested to in- the Department to make no alans for a parade until the Council takes definite action. Mr. Valkenburprh informed aldsr- men of action by the veterans committee on Memorial Day observance here in voting expenditures of $330 while only $250 is appropriated In budget.

He read an opinion by Mr. Royce that the city will be obliged to pay only the amount appropriated which, he said, is In -Tect a trust fund. Mr. Valkenburgh also said Mayor VanPleet had told the committee that in no year during the past live had Memorial Day cost to excess Of $300. Flowers Prove Snaj The Council hit a snag in attempting to decide whether money should be spent for planting flowers in Thrall Park.

The annual expenditure has usually been $150. Alderman William O. Woodruff submitted estimates of three florists, two for $150 and one for $141. Aldermen Woodruff. Robert Anderson and Harry Terhune favored oDonlv ordering the flowers.

Aldermen veraiui mm Onanes maiia posed. Then it was discovered that all save 555 of the budget item had already been spent for shrubs in Academy Avenue Park. The matter was left open until Monday night. Opponents of the proposal based their arguments on economy and on the contention that the park should be decorated with perennials rather than with plants which must be replaced each year. An ordinance submitted by the Public Safety Committee which would delegate to the Chief of Police the Council's authority to establish parking spaces and time limits, loading 2ones, bus spaces, safety zones and to regulate traffic signals (but not to put them into operation or discontinue without authority of the Council) was referred back to the committee for further study.

While he was prowling through nurses home, police, learning of his escape, sent out a general alarm, scoured all roads leading out of the city, and searched State Hospital buildings and grounds. Chief "Bennett was notified, as was Sergeant William Hanley of the State Police.

Patrolman Terwilliger, a member of the police squad that searched the nurses home, ransacked Dunbar's former room there while a civilian, Ray Gobel, who accompanied toured the corridors. It was learned later that Gobel entered a wash room and actually saw Dunbar, but because of the man's white uniform he did not recognize him. After police had left, Dunbar went to the third floor where he saw Clemmer in a Fired Point Blank In a statement made to police Clemmer declared Dunbar approached him with the gun and said "I'll make you suffer the same as you made me." With that he fired point blank at the watchman, the bullet entering the man's abdomen. Dunbar then turned and went downstairs. Between floors he met an attendant who had heard the shot and was on his way to ascertain the trouble.

''What's the matter?" the attendant asked. "Someboy's just been shot on the third floor," Dunbar is alleged to have replied as he continued downstairs. In front of the building he encountered Sprague, drew his revolver and fired one shot. The bullet struck Sprague in the stomach and felled him instantly. Dunbar did not fire again, but replaced the gun and fled behind a row of greenhouses to the highway.

Statements made to police by both victims assert that Dunbar did the shooting. The statements are important links in the case which will be built against the gunman. Clemmer and Sprague were removed immediately to the State hospital infirmary and Dr. M. A.

Stivers was summoned. He operated on the men early this morning. At press time their condition was reported as serious. Suspicion Believed Motive Police believe Dunbar's motive was suspicion that his victims had revealed to authorities the fact that he was an escaped convict. What grounds he might have had for such a theory are not known.

State Hospital authorities stated today that Dunbar had done his work efficiently while in the em- ploye of the institution and had at no time shown any indication of anger towards other attendants. He was well acquainted with Sprague and Clemmer, it was stated, and at no time threatened them with harm. Clemmer is married and comes from Washington, D. C. Sprague, who halls from Maine, also is married.

Both men have worked at the hospital for several years. Dunbar's record in the West is marred by three offenses, one of which was the forgery conviction which sent him to Rawlins. He also served a term in the Missouri State penitentiary for automobile theft in 1920 and a two-year term at Leavenworth, Kansas, for violation of the Dyer act. His genial disposition here disarmed police and he was given extensive privileges, amounting almost to the run of the entire police department. Chief Bennett declared he was aware of the fact that Dunbar was given many liberties during meal hours, but did not know that he was permitted out of his cell during the night.

Chief Bennett intimated he would issue rigid orders that all prisoners in the future will be closely guarded in their cells. Orders also will be issued for the placing of all firearms in police lockers, so that they will not be exposed to view or reach. Despite the gravity of the charges that weigh against him, Dunbar appeared to be no whit perturbed in his cell in the city jail this morning. He reclined on the bunk in stoic indifference and watched photographers prepare to take his picture with mild indifference.

1375 St. Savings Bank Held Fourth Mortgage, Justice Taylor Hears NEWBUBGH--Illegal generosity of a saving bank in granting a junior mortgage loan on the Plaza Hotel property was hinted at in testimony taken at the trial of the breach of contract case before Justice George H. Taylor yesterday in Supreme Court. Miss Frances Herron of Poiighkeepsi is suing the Columbus Trust Company for $200.000. Numerous documents detailing the complicated financial transactions, before and after the Trust Company foreclosed and bought the Hotel building, were introduced.

While Theodore W. V. Anthony, counsel for the Trust Company, was on the stand he identified some of them. One mortgage for $6,143 was held by an unnamed savings bank. It was a fourth mortgage and the sixth lien against the "property.

"How dees it happen that a savings bank issued a mortgage like that?" asked the court, but the Query went unanswered. Justice Taylor's mterest was in the fact that savings banks are prohibited by statute from holding such relatively insecure obligations. Kobert Martin and S. Carlisle Goodrich. Newburgh realtors, testified as to the value of the nrooerty.

Martin appraised it at $206.000 and Goodrich at $209.000. This defense testimonoy was in shan contrast to the $480.000 of Wiliam Kohl, Newburgh city assessor's estimate plaintiff. Henry Hirschberg, attorney for Miss Herron, indicated a strong disbelief that thirty-five years of plumbing would aualifv a man as an expert in steel construction. This came with the cross examination of William Mabie. city building inspector for the past eiphi years.
