Lawrence, March 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 either 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 not the reason for wanting the boundary line altered. Ever since the Rockaways 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 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 to 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 repairs. Joseph Fried, 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.

Corona Marshes. 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 for mosquitoes. The Degnon Company five years ago began filling in this land. Great dredges anchored in Flushand Creek, dredging the channel sending the mud from the bottom through great pipes onto the marsh land, around which walls of dirt and sod had been constructed. The water was carried off and gradually the land became 1 filled. Sufficient time has now passed since the work was completed to allow 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 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 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 Island City to Manhattan, running, side, along this Jackson section will be, one of the best supplied sections of the borough as to transit.

When the subway line opens this section is expected 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 Willets Point blvd. to 127th 35th from Willets Point blvd. to 127th st.

Knick Knacks of L. I. History Nearly fifty years ago, about 1880, there died a man known as A. D. Candy, at the Georgica part of East Hampton town.

He made a will of a peculiar character, expressing the wish that many public bequests be carried out. He left no direct issue. Among other things Mr. Candy willed that the interest of $1,000 should be applied annually to giving a Christmas dinner to the poor of Land was given for the erection of a Town Hall and provision was made for keeping St. Luke's chapel (Episcopal) in repair, and also maintain bridge across Georgica Pond.

thine poor have never their dinner; town hall has not been' built; St. Luke's chapel was repaired, and a new St. Luke's church built, but at expense of the parish; Georgica bridge is a relic of the past, razed by the elements and decay. Candy's heirs were all remote. They brought an action against J.

Henry Perkins, executor and trustee. The, courts directed that the proceeds of the "memorial fund." about $4,000, should be turned into the residuary estate. Mr. Candy's posthumous benefactions amounted to nothing in the end. Judge Dykman gave the judicial opinion.

Candy was a man who made and kept money. The small charities he proposed should immortalize his memory became invalid and unavailable under the intricacies of the law. HONOR MRS. G. T.
