The mere fact that the trademark on the clothes was missing was regarded as possibly suggesting suspicious circumstances connected with the drowning of the man. It was thought that the man may have removed this evidence and then committed suicide or that it may have been removed by other parties who caused his death.

A QUEER STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE TOWN OF HUNTINGTON. Probability That an Appeal to the Court Will be Made to Have Necessary Appointment Made. HUNTINGTON, July voters of this town at the last declared emphatically at the polls that they desired 8 Board of Town Auditors The resolution as voted for read that the same should be elected at the next annual town meeting. This was well and good, but the general law of this State covering the subject provides that whenever the people of a town vote to have the accounts of the town, town bills, passed on by a Board of Audit, rather than by the town officials, it shall be mandatory on the part Town Board to appoint auditors for service that year, within sixty days of such election. The Board knew of no such law and took no such action, consequently the members thereof feel that they are in a peculiar position.

They realize that they have no legal right to audit accounts against the sown. The time limit, during which the appointment of the auditors should have been made, has long since expired. The will of the people and the laws of the State have not been complied with. The Town Board would never have known of their error or the people of the fact that they should be represented by auditors but for the watchfulness of a citizen who takes great interest in the welfare of the town. He directed a communication to the Board, quoting the law, and inquired by wbat right they had, or intended, auditing the accounts of the town.

The answer received was to the point, that the board had no authority so to do. The question arises as to the steps to be to be taken to clear the muddle. Accounts, it scems, must not be allowed, nor must moneys be paid out on audit of the Town Board. If such be done the officials could be held responsible by individual tax payers for the sums so expended. The only way out of the matter seems to be for a tax payer v0 mandamus the board, and have the courts direct the proper offcials to appoint the nu liters.

Takes an Interest in the Water Supply Question and Wants Blackwell's Island Bridge Built.

LONG ISLAND CITY, July Horak, the leader and spokesman of the Citizens' and Taxpayers' Association, of Long Island City, says that at their last meeting they Toted to appropriate the sum of $300 to fight the contract made the City of New York with the Citizens' Water Company, of Woodside. to supply Long Island City with additional water for $19,000. Mr. Horak gives as the reason for opposing the contract that if the same amount of money Were expended for new boilers in the plant owned and operated Long Island City there would be no need additional supply from the Citizens' Water Company, in which Cord Supreme Court Judge Garretson and Deputy CoInmissioner John E. Backus were and probably are still stockholders.

Mr. Horak further says that the water supplied by the Citizens' Water Company is surface water and therefore not suitable for drinking. Another statement by Mr. Horak of public interest is that the committee appointed to see Mayor Van Wyck in relation to building bridge over Blackwell's Island, between Manbattan Island City, have again written tu him and asked him not to forget his promise made some months ago that he would not oppose the construction of the big bridge over Blackwell's Island and across the East River if money were available. The sub-committee claim that there is an appropriation of about $29,000,000 set aside for certain purposes, including the coustruction of bridges, and they want the Mayor to see that 10 per cent.

of this amount is reserved for the building of the bridge over Blackwell's Island, There is plenty trouble ahead in Long Island City.
