JOSEPH'S ACADEMY Brentwood-in-the-Pines Institution Planning for Larger Accommodations. WILL BE 4-STORY STRUCTURE. Addition to Be Completed in Time for the Mother Superior's Golden Jubilee.

(Special to The Eagle.) Brentwood. L. November 2-Plans being made for the addition of another building to the group already in use at the Academy of St. Joseph in the Pines, at Brentwood. The new building will be, when the original plans of the academy are completed, the center of the group.

The cost will be between $300.000 and $400,000, and work started early in the spring. Contractors' have already handed in bids for the work. The new structure will face southwest, and will be 330 feet long by 100 feet deep. It will be connected with the present buildings by a corridor, 90 feet long and two stories high. The corridor will extend the entire length of the new building, affording easy passage from one building to another without passing through class rooms.

Granite, brick and limestone will be used in the construction of the building. Granite will be used as high as the watertable, above which brick, with limestone trimmings, will be used. The new building will be four stories in height, and on the top will be a cupola, sheltering a 14-foot statue of St. Joseph. The approach will be 'a wide driveway, which will pass between massive granite copings.

The porch will be large, and of granite, with limestone trimmings. On either side of the corridor, which will extend from the entrance, on the first floor, to the main corridor in the rear, connecting with the other buildings, will be a library and an assembly hall. Each of these rooms will be 40 by 70 feet. The rest of the first floor will be taken up with class rooms. As on the second floor, music rooms will extend on either side of the main corridor.

Directly over the library and rooms there will be study halls on the second floor. On this floor there also will be class rooms. On the third and fourth floors there will be dormitories and private rooms. The dormitories, placed directly over the large rooms on the lower floor, will be made with alcoves, giving to those who use the dormitories almost the privacy that is afforded those with private rooms. The alcoves are formed by extending a plastered partition almost the length of the room.

This partition cut at right angles by other partitions, an abundance of air and light is admirably provided for. The many private rooms will acommodate one hundred persons. The new structure will lie to the east of the present building. It is planned at some time to build a chapel, east of the new building. This will be connected with the building now being projected.

by means of a 90-foot corridor. and will be similar in architecture to the present academy building. St. Joseph's Academy has shown a marvelous growth since its removal from Flushing. The present accommodations will soon be exhausted, and the building planned is made absolutely necessary by the rapid growth of the institution.

It is planned to have the building ready for dedication at the time of the golden jubilee of the Mother Superior of the I Order St. Joseph, Mary Louise. This celebration will take place two years hence. One of the sisters explained to an Eagle reporter that the present buildings of the academy, being placed so that they face southwest, are in a position where they receive sunlight all through the day. This advantage is one much sought after, and one that is rarely attained.

The position of the new building will be such that it will also have this advantage. BURGLARIES CONTINUE. Third in Freeport Since Saturday, Occurs While Family Sleeps. Freeport, L. November 2 -Sometime early yesterday morning burglars effected an entrance to the home of William Rucktuhl, at 118 Pearsall avenue, and stole silverware and clothes valued at 82.000.

When Captain John Dunbar was notified of the theft he put bloodhounds be. longing to the Long Island Railroad on the scent.

The police worked all day trying to hunt down the thieves. They believe they have a clew hope to make an arrest soon. WATER PIPES AT LAST. pipes about eighteen inches in diameter, for use in laying a main across the Flushing-College Point causeway, are now being distributed. The main will be laid on the easterly side of the way, and will reinforce the present water supply for College Point.

Just this work was not done before the wauseway was filled in. thus saving the ra expense and trouble of tearing up road again. is not explained.
