Declaring that the congestion in the court calendars of the Supreme and Crtjr Court was so serious that litigants with just claims for losses and damages are being compelled to sue for less than amounts entitled, to, Municipal Court Justice William P. Wiener, presiding at the Fifth District Municipal Court at Rockaway Beach stated yesterday that in his belief the only method by which the situation might be relieved was through changing the jurisdictional power limit of the lower civil courts.

An action brought today ln the Municipal Court can be heard tn two weeks and a request for a Jury trial will bring a case on the calendar within a month. People ln distress who need money and can not watt four or five years before their cases are heard are being compelled to waive all their claims over $1,000 so that they can appear ln the Municipal Court and have the judge puss on their cases without delay. "In my estimation It will only be a question of time when all the courts will be consolidated and work along the English system where there la no discrimination among Judges. While the commission appointed by former Gov. Smith made many valuable suggestions which were Incorporated in the new municipal act, I am of the opinion that a great deal ot improvement can still be made in our court system and the entire solution to such a change which will give defendants and plaintiffs the necessary relief is to Increase the jurisdiction of the Municipal and City Courts Increased Improvement Demands Offset Raised Valuations in All Districts.

Huntington, Nov, 16. Information given out at the Town Hall yesterday Supervisor Hawkins regarding the amounts to be raised by taxation for the various special districts in the town indicates that, with but few exceptions; the tax rates are higher than the past year. While in most cases the assessed valuation is larger, this is more than offset by largely Increased amounts to be raised for next year. In each of the four Incorporated villages the rate lot State, county and town taxes will be materially Increased. For the village of North-port.

th rate will be 1.364 against a previous rate of .804. The amount to be raised In North port for State, county and town purposes is while the former amount was $35,472.66. The assessed valuation in that village is $4,679,180. General Rates In the Village of Huntington Bay the rate will be 1 818 while the former rate was 1.024. The amount to be raised, on an assessed valuation of $2,701,730, Is $35,606.83 against $26,601.13 the last year.

In the Incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor the new rate Is 1 364 against a previous of 1.135. The assessed valuation In the village Is $4,579,180, The amount to be raised Is ..62,451.87 against $65,336.16 the past year. In (he Village ot Asharoken the rate is 1 314 while the past year's rate was 1 04. Ths assessed valuation in that village Is $1,106,570. The amount to be raised Is $14,687.69 against $10,955 65 tha past year.

The StRte, county and town tax rate for the town outside of Incorporated villages, is 1.4173, the former rate being 1.1924. The assossed valuation Is $30,849,356, and the amount to be raised by taxation is $487,217.47, against $839,576.05 formerly. The highway rate for the town outside ot incorporated villages, will be 605, the last year's rate being .4906. The amount to be raised for highway purposes is $186,825, against $139,957 the last year. The rate for fire purposes in the various districts shows ln most of the districts a decrease from last year's rates, while the school tax rate ln the thirteen districts ln the town remains about the same, and ln several Instances slightly lower.

In the Huntington Union School District No. 3, which Includes the Huntington High School, the rate Is almost exactly the same as before, the new rate being 1 6876 against 1.58 before. The rate for the garbage collection district will be .224. The amount to be raised for tha first year's operation is $29,000 and the assessed valuation Is $12,952,580. Tho rate for the Huntington sewer district Is .6795 against .591 before.

In the nine light districts ln the town, the new rate varies but little from the rates which prevailed the last year. I Budgets, Tax Rates The assessed valuations, amounts to bo raised by taxation the rates tor the various special districts, follow: Fire Th statement by Justice Wiener followed a decision hs made in which the plaintiff was awarded a judgment of $1,000. It was pointed out by Justice Wiener that the plaintiff in the action was entitled, to $1,400 but in order to bring his case to a speedy conclusion, he brought it into the Municipal Court and waived all rights to any amount over $1,000, which is the highest amount a Municpat Court Justice is authorized to decide upon. Recommends Change To my mind the present law governing Municipal and City Court cases ought to be changed, said Judge Wiener. "Anyone starting an action in the Supreme Court of Queens County today would have to wait from three to three and a half years before the case could be heard.

By the time the case Is taken to the Appellate Division or appealed to a higher court, the defendant as a rule Is judgment proof or the com-plnlntant is ruined and the money which would have helped at the time of the suit brings very little consolation or aid. "Justice delayed is justice denied and by giving the Municipal Court Justices the power to try cases up to $3,000 instead of $1,000 and the City Court Justice the power to try cases up to $5,000 instead of $2,000 would greatly relieve all delays and would permit the Supreme Courts to catch up with their congested calendars. In former years, complainants and defendants have very little respect for municipal courts, due to the shabby buildings in which they were located, but now that the city Is spending money for the building of adequate municipal court buildings, with a view of handling more work, without crowding the men and women who appear there, more respect Is held fsr the court. All Courts Alike "After all, a judge who can pass decisions on a $1,000 ease ought to be able to pass upon cases for larger amounts," Judge Wiener continued. "The law is the same in all courts and a defendant Or plaintiff can get Or plaintiff can get East Hampton, Nov.

15. The Hamptons, usually peaceful, awoke this morning to discover that Al de Southampton and East Hampton hail been visited by a pair ot holdup men, whose specialty was poking a gun ln the sides of young men Nho sat ln parked cars along the roadside with their girl friends. As far as can be learned, the two holdups netted the pair only $10. In Southampton, Leo Leiher and Vincent Santa Crues, both of Sag Harbor, who were parked ln a car with two Southampton girls, were surprised when another car stopped alongside and two men approached. The two strangers drew their guns as they advanced and motioned to the four young people to get out of their car.

Leiher and Santa Crucs were searched but the bandits were unable to find any money in their clothing. In East Hampton, about an hour later, practically the same expert ence was reported by Miss Beatrice Lloyd and Kenneth Edwards. The descrlpjion furnished by Edwards and the Southampton young men tallied with the hold-up men. who were described as being short, young, and rather thin. Edwards was relieved ot $10, In neither case were tho young girls molested.

Investigators from the office of District Attorney Hildreth as well as the Southampton and East Hampton Police are working in the cases. NEWTOWN LANTERN OUT Court at Long Island City.

Democratic County Leader John Theofel, was back in town yesterday after a post-election vacation in Atlantic City, but he didnt care to talk politics, Mr. Theofel said no "conference had been held with Democratic leaders in Atlantic City.

"I didnt think politick I didnt want to hear about politick he said. "I went down to Atlantic City for a short rest. I had a large siege of politic and I was fed up. I didnt even keep in touch with matters hefe in Queens. Mr, Theofel would not talk about the Situation in the borough.

He said he knew nothing what had been going on, and Intimated that it was all right with him whatever It was. The county Democratic boss made it clear that the recent election had been a big enougn dose for awhile. He could not be drawn into a leadership discussion. "Come in and see me again sometime, he said, adding that he might feel like talking about politics, then. But not now." Others Back from Vacations It was said yesterday that Edward W.

Cox, the defeated candidate for Borough President; Stanley C. Fowler, Coxs manager, and Major Thomas Downs, organization counsel, also have returned home after recuperating at distant watering places. Borough President George U. Harvey, expected home yesterday, has decided to remain in New Milford until next week. It was said at Borough Hail that he may return to his desk next Tuesday.

A boom to make John J. Haileran, Commissioner of Public Works in Harveys cabinet, and leader of the Independent faction of the Democratic party, leader of that party was reported in Queens again yesterday. The talk of Hallerfn for leader Is not new and he has long been considered as a strong man for the place. It was said yeaferday that his friends have begun a campaign to elect county committeemen next fall who will be favorable to Haileran. i Haileran Likely to Decline Commissioner Haileran, long an active Democrat, if slightly insurgent, holds a whip-hand position in the party.

He stands very much as Lloyd Georges Liberals stand in British politics. The Democracy is split up fairly evenly into three factions, as was shown by the last primary. Neither faction appears to have control over a majority in the party. Hallerans strength could swing one faction to a position of dominance in the party. A coalition with Haileran at the head would, therefore, be a logical alignment for running the party.

It Is considered doubtful that Hal-leran would accept the leadership. He plays politics, as he says, for the excitement. He undoubtedly Is aware ot his strength as leader of the independent faction and probably would prefer to use his influence in electing another man leader, a man whom he felt would run the party as It should be run and give everybody the oft talked of new deal, Seek Post for Patten A move to place Bernard M. Patten on the new Sanitation Commission has been started by the friends of Bernard M. Patten.

This strong county-wide organization, which has retained its solidity although unsuccessful in gaining Patten the nomination for Borough President ln the Democratic primary, is planning to make strenuous efforts to gain its leader the place allotted to a lay member" on the board, A resolution endorsing Patten for the place has been passed by the executive committee of the organization, upon which are representatives from each of the assembly districts ln Queens. Copies of the resolution have been forwarded to Mayor James J. Walker and Executive Chairman John Theofel, of the Queens Democratic organization. MOTHER-IN-LAW AGAIN Three Caees in Far Rockaway i Blamed on Relations. The cases of domestic relations were marked down as "too much mother-in-law," when they came before Magistrate Lawrence Greseer in the Far Rockaway Magistrates court yesterday, ln each case, the genial magistrate tried to effect a reconciliation, turning the cases over to the motherly probation officer of the court.

Miss May Hickey. Mrs, Sylvia Stoler, of $14 Beach 117th st Rockaway Park, charged her husband, Jack, with non-support The couple have been separated for some time. Stoler was ordered to pay his wife $8 a week. Mrs. Mary A.

I cant seem to find the right kind of work, he told the court "Well, you had better, Magistrate Lawrence said, or well find work for you.

COO Men, Women and Children Appear at Estimate Boards Hearing. In rpite of delay, of another month before the Board of Estimate finally will approve a route for subway spu along either Van Wyck or Sutpliin Mayor Walker and other members of the Board of Estl mate Indicated, thetr decision to award the line to Van Wyck blvd. Six hundred resident of the Van Wyck and Dun ton sections went to yesterday's meeting, prepared to urge a quick decision in their favor.

A large part of this delegation consisted of women with small children, causing much restlessness and noise la the meeting room. The Mayor criticized the presence of the women and children in the delegation and asked that they be not present at the next meeting. After it seemed that the plea of John H. Delaney, chairman of the Board of Transportation, had won over the Board to the Van Wyck blvd. route, Maurice Hotchner, coun.

eel for the Sutphin blvd. proposal won a postponement by introducing new evidence. Petition Introduced Holchner's move consisted of the introduction of a petition signed by 93 per cent, of the property owners along Sutphin agreeing to the construction of a subway along that thoroughfare. Delaney had claimed that the main objection against Sutphin blvd. consisted of the opposition of the property owners who had refused to let the subway pass their houses.

Two routes were up for considerations, the Hillside ave. rouie amended, Queens blvd, to 178th st, and Queens blvd. and 187th at route. Union Turnpike to Hillside ave, at Qu.ensbiyd. Delaney opened the discussion with a statement that in 1925 the Hoard of Estimate had approved the sutphin blvd, route, but that the owners there refused to grant consents and so held up ths work.

As a result the city engineers went to Van yck blvd. and now find it a preferable route to the other. Hotchner then took lip th argument for Sutphin blvd. by taking up the two objections which Delaney had found against this proposed I.ne. They were, first, the opposition of local property owners, and, secondly, the claim that on Sutphin lilvd.

residents of Nassau and Suffolk would use It to the disadvantage of city residents. Hotchner Answers Delaney In answer to the first, Hotchner piesented the petition of property owners requesting the subway along Sutphin blvd. To the second, he stated that the route would not be a dumping ground and commuters would continue to ride In L. R. R.

trams. I)r. John Bauer, formerly an expert retained by the city in the 6-cent fare litigation, then took up the aigument In favor of Sutphin blvd. by comparing the relative business statistics of the two avenues. Delaney here answered both Hotchner and Bauer, but when he asked Hotchner whether the arguments he was to present were the same that he had heard previously in the hearing before the Board of Tiansportation, Hotchner declared that thev were new and different The Mayor then stated that in view of the new arguments, the issue thould go over for a month to give the Board, of Transportation an opportunity to hear the plea and prepare a recommendation.

To Select Site. Another Queens issue which was practically decided was the selection of a courthouse for the Bockawaya After another hearing the Mayor vesterday clearly indicated that he would select the site at the southerly Is of Beach Channel dr. and Beach 9 1st st. The owners of this property, who had asked $120,000 for this property, then agreed 'to take 0, have further agreed to pay their share of the assessments for Amstel blvd, as a new consideration for the puri base. By this decision, the board finally dupoaed of the move to have the city use the land on which P.

44 now stands on Rockaway blvd. The Board of Education has refused to rthase this site. The courthouse will contain a municipal and a Magistrates court. 1 tie board also approved the pur-chisa of more than half an acre of land at the junction of Grand st. nl Kneeland pi, as the site for a lark at the cost of $2,700, Owners of property along Prince st from Washington to Grove st, who succeeded in lowering a 100 per ent local assessment In connection tth the citys taking title to the sunt so that the local area paid only a third of the assessment, tried unsuccessfully yesterday to loser he local charge to 15 per cent, by submitting arguments to the Board of Estimate, Two Plans Considered Two plans of assessment were befit the board.

Smith told of the demonstration, saying it was an opportunity to give American Boy Scouts a chance to see what boys of other countries are doing, and also showing American boyhood and its progress. There sre three elements in scouting, Smith declared.

"One is boys for scout troops, the second is leaders to instruct them and third is money which is needed to carry on the movement.
