8 LONG ISLAND NEWS. THE BROOKLYN TIMES. TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1906. LONG ISLAND NEWS. SEA CLIFF AVENUE GIVENTO SUPERVISORS? BURNING QUESTION WHICH IS TO BE VIGOROUSLY DISCUSSED BY EVERY RESIDENT.

The Pros and Cons of the Question -A Matter of Tersely Considerable Moment to All Dwellers and Taxpayers in This PicturVillage on the North Shore. esque CLIFF. Jan. WIll the Village RICA the ownership of Sea Cliff Trustees allow avenue La 80 to the Supervisors?" La Lion which la being discussed quite freely The Trustees, It 18 underatood, have hete. arked the Hupervisora they will accept the Fund but there brett no much comment cit their action, tmi they may reconsider the advisability of parting with the property the without anding out how the taxpayers about it.

avenue tuna through the prinetpal portion of the village. and it thus business of the place. begIn at Prospect us which In a counts Load, and an almost direct tine to the sprd, watch la the village boundary on the pint It In between a -mile threequarters in length The avenue Wis el ally laid out aN a twenty at NItro years back strips were bought from property ON on one or other -de of the whereser pomible, that the avenue could he widened. Quite little money pended In paying for these strips. From Main avenue to the village line the road war widened considerably, but through the bustDean part where land wha expensive.

only ag much ground as wam absolutely needed was taken. About ten years BRO the village approprinted 830,000 to macadamize this stretch of rond. Later on. when an appropriation of 880.000 WIN voted on for sidewalks, the avenue from Prospect avenue to Main. WAN Nagged, curbed and guttered on both aides, and from Main to the boulevard was flagged on one Aide.

ThiN means that sUI 01 money, very considerable, taking Into Decount the size of the village, has been spent on the avenue within the past ten years. A progesalve resident approached a Times correspondent in regard to the proposition of the village officials to turn over the ave. nue to the Supervisors, and stated that he thought a vigorous protest would be made against any such action. When asked to Rive some of his reasons for hiR personal objections to the giving away of the road. he stated that he had been unable to learn of any good reason why it should be given.

stating at the same thine a number of reaAR to why it should not. "I understand," he Auld. 'that the plea of the Trustees is that the avenue is very expensive to keep in proper repair, and that if It is turned over to the Supervisors they will include it in the county read system. and it will be cared for free of extra charge to us. The officials state that the road is expensive to keep in repair, because the village, hav1ng no macadam roads hut this one.

has not the proper appliances with which to keep it in shape. The road requires at certain times a steam roller. and this would have to be hired, and the probable expense of such hiring seems to worry the Trustees greatly. The Trustees, Ag far it can learn. have not consulted with any of the taxpayers or business men, whose places abutt the avenue, as to the advisability of letting the road go out of the possession of residents, though I understand they have been by one or two people who very evidently have not the good of the village at heart, to turn over this road to the Supervis.

ors. It has even been stated, though I am not in a position to speak of this as a fact. that one of the Trustees' advisers has even advised the turning over of Glen avenue to the Supervisors if they will accept it. It 1s, perhaps, needless to add that the advisers do not own property on either of the avenues. "These are the reasons, as far as I can learn them.

why, the Trustees have decided upon relinquishing their ownership. or the ownership of the taxpayers. in Sea Cliff ave. The nue, the principal street, to the Supervisors. reasons why they should not take this step are in my opinion much more numerous and important." "In the first place.

if we could afford to build an expensive road some ten years ago. we are certainly no less able to maintain 1t than we were when it was built. The cost of the road has been gradually defrayed and while it is not yet all paid. the Interest on the bonds is considerably less than it was a few years ago, and we have so far made no it. appropriation of considerable size to offset We built the road at a time when propIt erty on it was valued at one-third less than is held at to-day.

As a proof of this I this may say that a half-acre of ground facing street bought at $1,100 within the three years, is now valued by its' owner past $1,450, and cannot he bought at less at With this increase in taxable a figure. with the erection of fine dwellings valuation and on the avenue, which bring revenue in the form of taxes, is It not reasonable to suppose that We can afford to keep this road which the trustees seem to regard as which the property owners deem but a luxury, a necessity? "Again, a few built years ago, the trolley company which our road to the strained every nerve to get station a franchise to run the road on Sea Cliff ficials, avenue. The ofiness then to the interests of the busalive people, refused to allow the trolley to run on the avenue. Suppose should assumed approach the Supervisors a rival company control after they of the street. Have we guarantee that they would any safeguard the home interests as carefully as would people's our been brought officials.

to This the matter has, I bellow. tees, attention of the trusand they have replied that coud not be bult without the A trolley property owners. We have had consent of the enough trolley legislature. I think. to wary be of this safeguard.

Any to on the safe side. way. it is well pervisors The plea that the Suwould keep our road in would have to be proven before good coud repair taken as it be which reliable. Some of the county roads we could mention have not had the care lieve required. and there is no reason to bein that the officials would discriminate our favor.

Certainly, If them we offer to give our best street, we are in no to dictate terms, as to how position after they have received it. they use it shall "The further plea has been the property owners here that advanced county pay a town und tax and get little or nothing in return for it. and that the caring the for this road by county officials would in a measure offset this payment. While I have not had time to find out how we stand in this rolattion, this plea seems to 11P should we untenable. Why make the Supervisors an sive present in order to exponfor get even with them These A tax which we cannot evade? paying and other facts pertaining to the probe action of the officials should.

Good The Times correspondent found that the zation composed of an of the Village Association, nearly fifty women interested in thin welfar. of the place.

Two, attempts to say to about see Trustep Chellborg failed. hit at the spoond try. Pres. Ident Sherwood was located and the reporter's errand Was explained. The President seemed quite nstonished to learn that there was any opposition to the turning the road.

He said: over of far I know now. the road has not yet trustees offered to the Supervisors. The been talked the matter over. had the opinion of the Corporation Counsel the to effect that the road could he turned over by the trustee, and the counsel was there. upon authorized to bring the matter to the attention nf the Supervisors.

Immediately after that our counsel was taken sick, and has not yet recovered. We have not been notified that presented the matter to the Rupervisors. 'Sure Board In taking this step prorended entirely from motives of economy believing that the taxpayers would see the matter in the same light. Since the matter was made pubite two or three people have approached us, and asked if we knew what our status would be with regard to the road if the Supervimore took over. These people seam principally to dread the trolley on 10 the road.

Gates Ave, DISGRACEFUL RIOT BY PATCHOGUE CLERKS IT GREW OUT OF THE MOVEMENT FOR THE EARLY CLOSING OF STORES. Attacks Made on Jewish Merchants, Which Are Prevented from Being More Serious by the Pluck and Good Judgment of Village President Bailey, Who Makes a Speech. PATCHOGUE, Jan.

A wild riot: 11 disgraceful spectacle of coercion: the Vi- Inge President knocked down by the mob. stores entered and the lights turned out, despite the protests of proprietors; the town In a wild turmoll and Jewish merchants the abject of attack, with Village Prestdent Itiley holding the mob in check, with Deputy Sheriff to him ald, IN a summary of the climax in the "early closing moveat Patchogue last night. It was a complete surprise to this usually peaceful and -abiding village. but the whole affair shows that the plan of attack wan preconcerted and that 111 attempt to coerce all the merchants, whether or not they were signatory partien to the varly closing plan to up at 6:30 P. M.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 0l ach week during the winter. Shortly after the close of the stores last from various stores poured out Corka, who seemed to have nareed to pan. and soon the stores which have not closed were the scenes of activity and, later of In Light was seen in the store of E. C. on Ocean avenue, and the crowd of exelted clerks were about to enter Johnson's store when Village President Balley appeared and commanded the crowd to disperse and go about their business or he would be obliged to order their attest.

It WILS found Inter that Mr. Johnson was simply preparIn to move to his new store. RO the clerks 11d not molest him, but eried: to West Main On their way to force the West Main streets merchants to close they belleved they enw people doing business behind drawn curtains in G. A. Greenberg'.

and they pounded the doors and shouted to those Inside: "Put out your lights! Close up! Lights out." but no response was received. and the crowd then "tackled 1.. Levinson'8 Guarantre Clothing House, on Main street. Loule Muresca, who appeared to be the leading spirit in the work, rushed In and turned out the lights, though the proprietor had Just opened two weeks AgO, and it la not a permanent business house, nor does the manager belong to the Merchants' Association, nor to the parties who agreed to the early closing. am only here for few weeks, and it not right for you people to intimidate me and turn out my lights." said Levinson.

"I Intent to run my store in my own way. and 1 will do it if it costs me thousand dollars He relighted his gne lamp when 0.1e crowd had left, to repeat their efforts on other business places further west. "Now for Davidow'a!" "Yes. and for "For Shapiro'8, first! were the shouts of the crowd, which had now grown to the proportions and recklessness of a mob, by the addition of hundreds of irresponsible boys, men and women. The street soon became a sweeping mass: the sidewalks impassable: women with baby carriages were carried, by the force of the dense mass of excited people, in the opposite direction, while shouts of "Stand back!" "Keep "Get out of the way!" and other wild exclamations were heard.

It suggested A race riot. and IL bright young Jewish woman. who heard the shouts. ran at topmost speed and passed the word to her countrymen that the molLwas coming, adding something in Yiddish that 900.1 caused the extinguishing of lights. When Edward Davidow's store was reached the crowd was surprised to find his store closed and all lights out.

He got the tip in time. Across the way A. Shapiro's store WAS "wide open," and all lights burning. Louis Muresca bounded up the steps and into the store, followed by the mob, but was met promptly by Mrs. Shapiro, who swatted him in the face with a dirty scrubbing brush and then smashed his derby hat.

over his eves. She was reinforced by her husband. who hurled a heavy wooden chair which just escaped the head of those nearest the door. The shouts and nolse became a regular pandemonium. The destruction of the big show windows was threatened, and the air was redolent of rank language, unfit to print in a decent newspaper and It looked bad, when suddenly Village President Bailey forced his way through the pushing.

jostling, -wearing crowd and mounted the steps of Shapiro's store. With everyone in Patchogue. old and young. rich and poor. ex-Senator Bailey is popular, and when he raised his hand he need the mob.

He then made a little address, in substance. a9 follows: "You people of Patchogue: I am surprised to find in so fine a place as our little village such conduct as I notice in the village tonight, I am your Village President and represent the law and peace of this village, and command you to go about your various affairs in peace, or it shall be my painful duty to have you arrested and locked up. Because these people are Jewish citizens they should not be molested any more than other business people. They have a right to make a living the same as people of any nationality and if there 1s any grievances there is always a legal and proper way to adjust such matters. Cheers from some and jeers from others greeted the President's dignified remarks, and just about at the completion of his address Mrs.

Shapiro threw one of the out of her store with such violence that he knocked President Balley off the porch, down among the surging mob. Quickly picking his way. President Balley was among the clerks and other responsible ones, and his presence and his speech acted as vi! upon the troubled waters, and soon the crowd dispersed, and what looked like bloodshed several times. was happily averted by the Village President's pluck, popularity and good judgment. An attempt was also made to have John Hiler's five and ten cent store closed in spite of his determination to keep open, but no violence was offered to the old veteran.

who said he would close only on Sundays and holidays, and "not at such times as are dictated by people who have tried to drive Ine out of It should be distinctly understood that in no possible manner had the Merchants' Association anything whatever to do with last night's disgraceful affair nor do the vast majority of the clerks share any of the blame. The matter seems to have been arranged by a number of clerks who kept the matter quiet until the hour of closing. Many of the mob being people possessed of racial prejudice. this occasion afforded them a chance to give vent to their unkind and unAmerican spirit and conduct. The names of the clerks seen in the crowd are withheld.

in a spirit of kindness. as the Times believes they were ill-advised and excited, most of them being young men of excellent renutation, and it surprised many to see how quickly they lost their heads In tha excitement attending the unlawful attempts made. Former President Daniel Chichester, of the Merchants' Association, witnessed the affair. and deprecates such measures, but was pleased niso to note that there was no bloodshed. It 14 belleved this matter will be formally repudiated by the Merchnats' Association as illegal and contrary to the good methods and intentions of that splendid body of men.

It is ciso believed will result in some modification of the early closing rules, which certainly have not been strictly adhered to by some who have signed the agreement to close early three nights a week. A Disclaimer from the Clerk. The clerks of the many business bouses here belonging to the Merchants' Association, disclaimed any responsibility for force used last night unlawfully to compel the early closing of stores here. Pursuant to the unanimous vote of the associatin, they say. they only atmpted to use courteous and kind words in their endeavors to persuade the two or three dealers who do not belong to the association, to Call in line with the popular movement and close early.

The clerks claim that the force aged and excitement created was by parties not belonging to their association and was against their earnest protest that they were law abiding and deplore the affair exceedingly. No damAgP to any extent was done and there have been no arrests. Charged With Assault. WOODMERE. Jan.

Has Already Set Other Towns in Suffolk County a Good Pace in Road -Does Not Propose to Be Blind to Her Own Interests When Good Things Are Going Around. HUNTINGTON, Jan. improssion which has gone forth in Suffolk County that Huntington town and some of its neighbors are not in line nor in favor of the pus east and weat roads through the county far from correct.

Tale In exactly the reverse of the truth. An long ago as the next year after the bill became a law Huntington town through Supervisor, Henry B. made don for appropriations to do exacoy the work that is now under consideration. PallIng in the effort to mecure State and county all for the proposition, Huntington went ahead Indivlauany and for Pesetal yours has been adding to ite mileage of permitbent roadbed on an cast and west highway which passes through the village contrer, While It 18 true that some been raised by melt of Huntington and before Babylon to the proposition as it wan brought the Suffolk Supervisors It was Dol In any Sense in opposition to the building of the two roads through the county proposed, but to the manifestly unequal apportionment of funds. By the plan as proposed, Southold would about twentylive miles, Riverhead nearly 48 muen; Southampton and East Hampton very generous mileage, while Babylon would get but about four miles; Huntington about eight miles: Smithtown and 1alig each less than their proportionate shares.

The proposition that wit please the west end towns is that Suffolk County's share of the State appropriation of $50,000,00 be upportioned to the townships on the same basis as the apportionment to the counties. If Huntington, for instance, gets Its share of the State fund on the basis of one-half tor asseased valuation and -half for mileage there would be about $150,000 available. With this Huntington could work wonders. By recoating the present Peekskill grave! roads and where advisable, widening them. the township could extend the east and west road through Coldspring Harbor, Huntington, Centreport to the Incorporate line of Northport, and beyond there to the Smithtowy line.

It would also make a first-class gravel road from Huntington Harbor through Fair Ground and Melville to the Babylon town line; from Centreport through Greenlawn to the Babylon town line from Northport through Larkfield and C'ommack to the Babylon town line, and possibly 1m prove the old northside turnpike from West Hills through Commack. Smithtown, Islip. Babylon an.1 Huntington. it is understood, are clearly agreed on this phase of the case and when the appropriations go through are ready to co-operate and make their improved roads connect with each other, each town at the same time considering its individual needs as well A8 the general scheme of county improvement. Huntingtonians who are interested in the good roads work want it clearly understood that they are not opposing the continuous road proposition.

but are simply asking for an equable division of the State fund that comes 10 Suffolk County for road improvement. SUFFOLK SURROGATE'S COURT. Oliver B. Corey Makes Cutchogue M. E.

The Coroners, of whom there are but two now. meet at stated times an a board.

Soon after Mr. Mager Ignored Coroner Ainbler'a order removing him, Coroner Ambler nought have a meeting. but on two occasions Dr. Nutt failed to appear. Yesterday afternoon, however, the two Coroners met in joint session, and disposed of some routine business.

Coroner Ambler, when the work was finIshed. sought to open the question of chief clerk. He has a man for the place. Coroner Nutt auld ho saw no occasion for the discussion of much a question. Mr.

Mager wan appointed through the cooperation of Coroner Nutt, with Coroner Rooff, who is a Democrat, as Is Mr. Mager. Coroner Nutt Is a Republican, as is also Coroner Ambler.

Coroner Nutt said response.

that he would not sign the pay roll with the name of Mager off it. Up against that SNAg they stuck. Mr. Mager is in attitude: of a' holdover, and it has been judicially determined that a hold-over is entitled to the salary.

What the outcome will be seems problematical. FIRE AT BAYPORT. Cottage Burned on Estate of the Late Louis C. Behman. SAYVILLE, Jan.
