I. Jamaica People Say. (Special to The Eagle.) Jamaica, L.

John Adikes was one of those who spoke strongly against the measure, which.

it was declared. would entail a cost of $35,000 year. Mr. Adikes said that County Judge Burt Jay Humphrey is getting along nicely. Should he at any time need assistance in the disposition of cases he can always secure a' judge from a neighboring county at a cost of $20 a day.

Assemblyman George E. Polhemus and President William. E. Kennedy spoke in favor of the bill. The Citizens passed a resolution in which Ralph Peters, president of the Long Island Railroad, is asked establish a ten cent fare from Jamaica to the tube.

PLAN TO MEET OBJECTIONS. New Instrument Will Cover Points of Attack Made Against Bill Mayor Vetoed.

(Special to The Eagle.) Far Rockaway, May 18-First steps in the plan for a new secession bill for the Rockaways were taken when a committee of the Civic Federation met in the office of Lawyer William S. Pettit last night and mapped out a plan for the drafting of another "divorce" measure to be presented to the next Legislature. This committee, which is composed of the presidents of every sociation in the Rockaways melvinan: imous in support of another secession movement. It is planned to draft the new bill in a manner that will meet all of the objections raised by the anti-secessionists against the last bill. When the committee has completed an outtire Civic will be called line of the bill, a meeting of the enfor the purpose of approving the bill.

The Civic Federation of the Rockaways consists of three members from every civic organization in the Fifth Ward. While the secessionists are confident that Mayor Mitchel still maintains his previous attitude that he would let the Rockaways go it a proper financial adjustment could be made, yet they have little hope of seceding from the City of New York with the Mayor's approval. It is derstood that they are placing their hope in the Legislature. If the present plan is carried out, the new bill will be drawn and ready for presentation in Albany as soon as the Legislature meets. The secession leaders are confident that they could have had "Rockaway City" this year, if they had been on the ground sooner with their last bill.

The Legislature adjourned as soon as bill went to the Mayor and the measure was killed finally with his veto. PIKE LEFT $12,000. Taxes Adjusted On Many Suffolk County Estates. Riverhead, L. May 18-Among tax matters adjusted in the Surrogate's Court yesterday were the following: Estate William H.

They should be encouraged in any effort that they may take to relieve Port Jefferson of the conditions of which Dr. Overton, Sanitary Inspector, has complained for so long.

Beyond a doubt, Port Jefferson realizes the natural beauties with which nature has endowed On one of the most beautiful harbors in the world, the village has a natural advantage found in few communities. Sooner or later the people of that section will awaken to the fact that the best investment they have is the money and energy which devote to combining artificial advantage with this natural beauty. This is generally of all the Long Island villages. true, of, them could do much in an artificial way to Improve their natural beauty and attractiveness. Already man has done considerable to detract from nature's gifts.

Let him take steps at once to repair his wrong.

The business men of Patchogue are fortunate in having such material support from the women. women of Flushing and Far Rockaway might follow suit in some such a manner and help the men in the campaigns that they are making to keep business at home. All honor to Lynbrook.

That progressive village has converted an "eyesore" into a public park. A good example for many more Long Island villages. MUD IN STREETS IS ANKLE DEEP Richmond Hill Citizens Blame Sewer Contractors for Present Conditions. (Special to The Eagle.) Richmond Hill, L. May 18-The condition of the roadways here, especially in the side streets, was denounced at a meeting last night of the Richmond Hill Civic Association.

The association decided to make an effort to secure a public playground for the children on the south side of Forest Park.

The children on the north side have such a playground. Richmond Hill will go it alone in the Fourth of July celebration this year.

Work on Three Buildings Will Start Soon After, (Special to the Eagle.) Patchogue, L. May 18-As the plans and specification or the new county tuberculosis hospital at Holtsville have been passed and approved by the State Health authorities, it is certain now the new institution will be located on the slope of the hill and not on the summit as the committee from the board of supervisors were inclined to favor, following their visit there last week. The State Health Department absolutely refused to sanction the idea advanced by the supervisors to change the plans at the eleventh hour. Since then the plans have been given the State stamp of approval. The former committee of the supervisors before election--agreed with the Suffolk Medical Society in the opinion that the slope of the hill was a better location than the unsheltered summit.

But the new committee was practically unanimously in favor of a change in the site. The cision was based on the building several up-state sanitariums where this method has been followed. In last fall, a number of prominent answer to this when. first suggested physicians from the county advised the side of the hill as better for shelter and having the same advantage concerning the amount of sun as in other respects. The conflicting ideas of the new committee and the representatives from the State who went over the plans at Holtsville, threatened for a time to become a serious breach.

Work will be commenced soon after the bids are examined next week on three of the new buildings. TO DIRECT POLO AFFAIRS. Harry East To Divide Time Between Islip and Locust Valley. Locust Valley, L.

Incorporation of Great Neck Hills May Deprive Town of Rights, Is Contention. (Special to The Eagle.) Great Neck, L.

May 18-Those living in the vicinity of Great Neck Station town authorities to establish bathing beach at the foot Manta of Cedar drive on Little Neck Bay. This roadway runs through the Great Neck Estates, which was incorporated three years ago. Old town records indicate that Cedar drive is a town highway and that the waterfront is town property. There seems to be a legal question involved, however, and at the next meeting of the town board a committee composed of George H. Kennahan, John J.

Hughes and former Assemblyman Thomas Maloney, representing the Great Neck League, will ask to have a legal decision on the matter. Because Great Neck Hills has been incorporated some say that the townspeople have no right to the shore front. The Great Neck League officials believe that the townspeople have a right to this shorefront and that the Villa Park Association; the owners of the estates, have no right to prevent the townspeople from using it. The league members will request the town authorities to submit the question to an attorney, and, if found advisable and necessary, to start court proceedings. About three years ago the Villa Park Association made an application to the State Commissioners of the Land Office, asking for a grant of land for the purpose of improving the beach for the use of lots a owners in the and erecting a dock and bath houses Estates.

A dock has been erected and part of the beach improved. Recently the town authorities sent to Albany for a copy of all grants issued by the State. They have been received by to Town Clerk Thomas O'Connell, but the league officials fail to find a reference made to a grant to the Villa Park Association. SUIT FINALLY TRIED.

W. Mantha Robinson Company, against to recover about $900 for a heating and plumbing system in the Mantha Building at Sayville. The case has been buffeted about in great style. One time it got before a referee. It didnt tarry long, for the defendant though it might be better after all to have it heard by 'a judge.

Then in its passage up and down the list of courts it has been pushed on and off calendars for one reason or another. Motions and appeals have Padded their mite to retard actual trial. Finally in his desperation, as Mr. Shaw told it himself in court, he put the case on both the jury and the equity calendars in the term of the Supreme Court now being presided over by Justice Jaycox, and yesterday afternoon it was reached. All of the testimony is in except that to be given by one aged witness, and this will be taken at Patchogue on May 24.
