Not only are motorists pleased with word that the Transit Commission intends to compel the Long Island Railroad to start construc tion of the ovorhead system through Jamaica when the allocation of costs is decided the latter part of this week, but merchants and pe destrians to-day are expressing their thankfulness.

An official of the Chamber today declared that on Sunday afternoon, shortly after 3 o'clock, traf-flo on Merrick road was tied up for more than hour. "This thoroughfare la the leading one between points on Long Island and Jamaica," he declared, "One can see how the 'blinker' lights were useless on that day and caused the trafflo to be paralyzed for miles."

The "phantom sniper" of East Rockaway, who terrorized the village three months ago with a persistant ambuscade of automobiles in a wooded section, is back again in the limelight throwing fear into the calm village life. Until a late hour last night, Nassau County detectives from the Cedarhurst branch bureau sought an unidentified person who was responsible for the firing of two bullets into the side of a residence owned by Michael O'Connell, at 1 East Evans street.

Bay Park, in the section south of the village. The firing of the two bulets into the side of the house sent Michael scurrying for cover. He said he remembered the "scare" of the "phantom sniper" of three months ago and was loath to leave his home fdr fear a stray shot might find him. Three months ago, the village was "het up" over the actions of an unidentified person who earned the name of the "sniper" by firing at automobiles from bushes in a heavily wooded section between East Rockaway and Woodmere. No one was injured in the skirmishes, although many cars traveling over the road carried the marks of bullets.

Detectives Clarence Pitt and Leslie W. Pearsall dug the bullets out of Connell home. They are of a small calibre, evidently from a .22 long rifle. A scouring of the vicinity for clues was fruitless and until last night the police were baffled. The bullets taken from O'Con-nell's dwelling are said to be strangely akin to those found Imbedded in cars during the last affair of the mysterious sniper.

Traps were laid for the "phantom" in the first instance of the ambuscade, but the person was elusive, changing his location with alarming rapidity. The Bay Park section is being closely watched to halt further movements of the sniper while the detectives continue in their virtually clueless quest. NEW NO. 1 WALL ST.
