According to the police, he did, however, say that the gun belonged to his father, an ex-poltce-mun.

McKnight to Decide Those Responsible for Capture of Whit mans Murderer. Mtneola, March 17.

The task of determining who should receive the $22,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the bandits who robbed the First National Bank of Bellmore and shot and killed Ernest L. Whitman, bond salesman, on April 4, 1924. has been placed up to H. Stewart Mc-Knight, counsel for the Board of Supervisors, by that body. The supervisors turned the entire matter over to McKnight following the receipt of a letter from officials of the First National Bank of Bellmore, asking what disposition had been made of the reward $11,000 offered by the Nassau County Bankers Association and $11,000 by the Board of Supervisors for the arrest and conviction of the bandits.

County Judge Smith and former District Attorney Charles R. Weeks at the time of the robbery, made no recommendation to the board for distribution of the reward. Many persons believe most of the reward should go to County Detective Felix Demartini for his work on the case, but others believe that the persons who took the number of the license plates on the bandit cars should receive part of the money. In all probability the board will act on any recommendation made by McKnight. Stanley Klvana, after having been convicted in connection with the murder and robbery, was acquitted, recently by a jury here.

John J. Slattery, convicted of the murder, later was reprieved by Governor Smith. Ambrose Ross Is in Sing Sing Prison awaiting death.

Lawrence, March IT. The old question of having the boundary line between the City of New York and Nassau County definitely fixed so that street repairs can be made by the city or Nassau County, Is again being agitated, and the Topographical Bureau of Queens is looking into the matter with a view to ascertaining how best the line can be shifted. The boundary line Is the centre line of McNeil persons living on one side of the street being in New York City, while their neighbors across the way are residents of Nassau County. But this is 1 not the reason for wanting the boundary line altered. Ever since the Rockawaya became part of Greater New York, the roadway on McNeil from Remsen Inwood, to Broadway, Lawrence.

has been without repairs. The only work on the roadway has been the dumping of cinders In the ruts and holes when they became too deep for safety. Efforts to have the road paved or repaired have failed because McNeil ave. was In neither Nassau County nor New York City, thus leaving the residents without choice other than have the road repaired at their own expense. Shifting the line either to the east or west, would place the roadway wholly In Nassau County or the city, which would enable either to make the much needed repalra- Joseph I-'rled, president of the Village of Lawrence, Is anxious to have the matter settled and has requested the Queens Topographical Bureau to bring about the change in the boun, dary line.

Application is to be made in the Queens Supreme Court by the Corporation Counsel for authorization to take over the property for several streets in what promises to be one of the most Interesting developments in the borough. The streets lie through ground that was once salt marsh, but is now habitable land in the vicinity of a subway station and In a short time a community should exist where before nothing but cattails, bullfrogs and mosquitoes existed. Until a few years ago acres of land between Flushing Creek, Shell Jackson ave.

and Strong's causeway, Corona, were salt marshes, a great useless waste and a breeding place or mosquitoes. The Degnon Company five years ago began filling in this land. Great dredges anchored in Flushing Hay and Creek, dredging the channel and sending the mud from the bottom through great pipes onto the marsh land, around hich wails of dirt and sod had been constructed. The water w'as carried off and gradually the land became filled. Sufficient time has now passed since the work was completed to allow the fill to settle as far as it will, which is about the level of the streets which bound it.

A deep surface of sand has been placed over this filled land in recent months and the swamp has been turned into a healthy, livable place. In addition to the reclamation of the land, the extension of the Corona line of the Queens dual subway system in bringing rapid transit connection with Manhattan through the property. The system is elevated at this point. It is to go across Flushing Creek on a bridge now nearing completion and then underground to its terminal at Main and Amity Flushing. With a surface line to the Elmhurst, Maspeth and Ridgewood sections of Queens and to Brooklyn running along Strong's causeway on the south side, the new subway line running through the centre and a street car line through Corona, Woodside and Long Island City to Manhattan running along Jackson ave.

on the north side, this section will be, one of the best supplied sections of the borough as to transit. When the subway line opens this section is to grow rapidly and it is in preparation for this expected development that the Corporation Counsel is seeking title to the land for the streets. The streets for which land is to be sought under the condemnation proceedings now being prepared by the Corporation Counsel are Willes Point blvd. from Northern blvd. to Roosevelt 34th from Wil-lets Point blvd.
