LONG BEACH GROUP FOR MANAGER PLAN Taxpayers Urge' Repeal of Local Law Preventing It. Long Beach, Feb. IS, After unanimously adopting a resolution favoring the Introduction of the city manager form of government for the city, iho United Taxpayers' Association of Long Beach, at a meetlngMield In the city hall tonight, voted to petition the city council to repeal what is known as "Local Law Number One." The law, as explained by Einar B. Erlksen, president of the association, prohibits the city from adopting- the city manager plan. It was passed by the council, according to Mr.

Erlksen, on August 19, 1927, during the administration of Mayor William Dalton. Once passed, he said It was buried in the city archives and forgotten until dug up recently. Contending that the law is unconstitutional, Mr. Erlksen said a committee of five would be appointed to present a petition for its abolishment to the council. If the petition is not granted, he added, the case will be taken to the courts for a decision.

BAPllSTFATHERS REV. J. S. SHER1LL DIES IN ra DINE THEIR SONS RATE P. S.

C. Fixes Dates for Cross-Examination on Company's Appraisals. Investigation of the Long Island Lighting by the Public Service Commission is expected to be concluded soon with a decision regarding' its rates for gas and electricity to consumers throughout Long Island. This was indicated yesterday by-Chairman Milo R. Maltble.

who has presided at all the hearings since they started nearly a year ago on an order of the commission to the company dated 1930 to show evidence that its rates were justified. The inquiry was ordered following complaints to the commission about rates and service from dozens of communities throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties. March la, 16 and 17 were set by Chairman Maltbie for the next three hearings when. Col. Charles G.

Blakeslee, chief counsel to the commission, announced he would require at least three days for his cross examination of Col. Alten S. Miller and W. V. Burnell, the engineers, retained by the company to make the appraisals for the gas and electric divisions of the corporation.

Before opening on the engineers, however. Colonel Blakeslee said he would require about half a day to complete his cross-examination of Russell F. Van Doom, formerly treasurer and director in charge of auditing of the Long Island Lighting and also of K. L. Phillips Co.

Mr. Phillips is president of the lighting company and is the sole stockholder in the Phillips Construction Company, which has done virtually all of the lighting company's construction work. Mr. Van Doom, during his preliminary cross-examination by Colonel Blakeslee, testified also tha't Mr. Phillips was virtual sole owner ol a number of other corporations, all more or less associated with the lighting company.

Col. Blakeslee previously intimated that the cross-examination of the two engineers might be lengthy. Each appraisal, one for the gas division and the other for the electric division, consisted of .0 or more larger volumes, and each engineer was on the stand several days for his direct examination. Both; too, have been cross-examined to some extent by Col. Blakeslee.

Col. Blakeslee. in his prelimi-. nary cross-examination, pounded both engineers hard on the question of whether property held by the company was used and useful. Just before adjournment yesterday, Chairman Maltbie directed Colley Williams, associate counsel for the company, to have prepared a list of the properties about which testimony supporting its use and usefulness had been given by the engineers.

Realty holdings in the tw counties are valued by the company at several million dollars, and Col. Blakeslee has indicated he con siders much of this property far from necessary, a considerable amount of it not being used with little prospect it will be called into use for many years. Louis C. Clarke, of Port Jefferson, who appraised the more than 100 parcels of land held by the company in Suffolk County, was on the stand again yesterday for redirect and re-cross examination. None of his previous testimony was changed materially by his reexamination.

The day before. Charles K. Doyle, who appraised the holdings in Nassau County. completed his testimony and was informed by the chairman that he would not be required to appear again. Mr.

Clarke was told the same yesterday. Following the cross-examination of the two engineers and Mr. Van Doom, engineers of the commission will be called to put in their appraisal of the company. No sug gestion of their valuation has been made public. TO DEDICATE PAINTING Hempstead Churches to Unite in Christ's Presbyterian Edifice.

The scores: KIH8T SERIES Sunrlae I DECISION IS EXPECTED SHORTLY "The eminent figure of George Washington looms majestically on the American horizon," said Dr. Soltes. "Volumes upon volumes have been written concerning the various phases of his colorful career. "In recent years, maligning the reputations of great men has become an indoor sport. The urge for detracting and for unearthing blemishes appears to be at its height.

Despite these detractors, we feel that he, who regarded love of country as a sacred obligation from the faithful discharge of which he never swerved for a moment either in thought or in deed, throughout his eventful career, remains inscribed high upon the roll of fame. "During the early period of our country's history, when dark, dense clouds hovered over our camp, the Influence of George Washington was a steady and stabilizing factor. "I deem it appropriate to bring to your attention, the Biblical quotation, references and allusions in addresses, which indicate what significant part the Bible exerted upon his life, and outlook, and the degree to which the Holy Scriptures colored his views and those of his contemporaries. "The earliest settlers in America who came primarily from England, very naturally brought with them their susceptibility and receptivity to Biblical influence, and their affection and regard for the Holy Scriptures. "It was perfectly natural for the religious leaders to turn to the Bible for appropriate texts and inspiration.

Since the masses were a God-fearing, Bible reading people, the clergymen's Biblical allusions and analogies struck a responsive chord in the minds and hearts of the people. "It is refreshing to find so eminent a scholar and leader of American though as the late Rev. Lyman Abbott (editor of The Outlook Magazine, of which Theodore Roosevelt was a contributing editor), tracing the very origin of the American form of government to the ancient Hebrew Commonwealth. "The American history text books in the elementary and secondary schools are strangely silent concerning the part played by Jews in the early history of our Republic. Very few are aware of the fact that there were about 2,000 Jews in the United States during the Revolutionary War.

The vast majority of them espoused enthusiastically the cause of Independence. Not only did Haym Salomon, by-origin a Polish Jew, assist wholeheartedly Robert Morris. Secretary of Finance of the Continental Congress, in financing the war by contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the names of 46 Jews who actually participated in the fighting in this war have come down to us. Many of them won high rank in the service. There were a number of colonels, majors, captains and lieutenants.

Most conspicuous among these patriots was Col. Isaac Franks, aide-decamp to George Washington. "That Washington appreciated the part which Jewish patriots played in espousing the cause of independence, is evident from the following quotations of letters sent by George Washington to Jewish congregations: "May the same worder-working Deity, who long since delivered the Hebrew from the Egyptian oppressors, planted them in a promised land, whose providential agency has lately been conspicuous in establishing these United States as an Independent nation, still continue to water them with the dews of heaven and make the inhabitant of every denomination participate In the temporal and spiritual blessings of that people whose God is Woodhaven G.

In eluding delegations from many Board of Estimate Sets March 24 for Hearing on Rocka-way Peninsula Levy. Sixty per cent, of the cost of property taken by tho city for Beach Channel dr.

is to bo taken off the shoulders of property-owners on the Rockaway Peninsula as a result preliminary action taken by the Board of Estimate yesterday. A public hearing was set for March 24 on a proposal to reapportion the cost by placing 20 per cent, on th clty-at-largc, 4t per cent, on the Borough of Queens, and 40 per cent, on the local area. Although they previously 'had In dicated disapproval of suggestions to give relief of this kind to the Rockaways at the expense of the rest of the city. Acting Aldermanic President Mahon and H. Warren Hubbard, sitting for Borough President Levy of Manhattan, voted for the hearing.

Mr. Hubbard said his vote was given with the understanding the action would not.be a precedent. Edmund J. Powers, secretary the Chamber of Commerce of the Rockaways, heading the delegation seeking relief, argued that Beach Channel or Amstel blvd. as it also Is known, was, in effect, an arterial highway and, as such, was of benefit principally to the city-at-large rather than the Rockaways.

Powers Urges Action Mr. Powers reminded the board that two weeks ago it had finally- disposed of the cost of acquiring title to the public beach at the Rockaways by assessing 65 per cent, against the city and 35 per amounting to about on the local area. Although the people of the Rockaways Wore willing to shoulder this expense, he said, the added burden of the 334,500 for the cost of Beach Channel Drive would be too much. A. Joseph Geist, also represent ing the chamber, said the Channel Drive assessments, if levied 100 per cent, locally, would be confiscatory Max Tachna of the Allied Civic League of the Rockaways.

upheld the arguments of the previous speakers. Borough President Har vey citing other instances of road assessment aid in other DorougnB, also spoke for relief. As a further argument for relief the Borough President pointed out the assessed valuation of land in the Rockaways in 1925 was only $52,000,000. while a year later, af ter work has been done on the boardwalk and on Cross Bay Blvd. valuations nearly doubled to $101,.

000,000, giving Increased tax re turn to the city.

Awards ranging from 81 for one square foot of land to 8800,000 for 959,630 square feet, and totaling $5,991,895.36, are made in a decision of Justice Faber handed down as the result of hearings, held several months ago. on the amounts the City of New York shall pay to owners of property taken for construction of Grand Central pkwy.

from Austin Se near Queens Kew Gardens, eastward to the Nassau County line. Payment of these awards will be assessed 50 per cent against the city at large, and included in the tax budget; 30 per cent, against the Borough of Queens in the tax budget, and 20 per cent against the local property owners. The area of assessment for local property owners extends 1,000 feet each side of the parkway. Part of State hjstem Grand Central pkwy. is part of the State system of parkways, and while the land acquisition is being paid for by the city and local prop- rty owners, the actual cost ot In- proving the land and building the roadways Is borne by the State as will be the upkeep.

The parkway varies in width from 150 feet to 600 feet. A total of 11.569,185 square feet was taken for the parkway, and it extends 64.906 linear feet, or approximately II miles. It runs through wo golf courses and skirts 1,300 feet along Hillside Park. Part of the proceeding included the taking of land for the widening of that portion of Union near Queens where the turnpike and the parkway meet and run into each other. The hearings in this proceeding took a total of 14 court days spread over a period of over a month.

There were 650 parcels involved. The Kew Gardens Hotel Build ing Corp. Is awarded $230,000, of which $130,000 is for land and $100,000 for consequential dam ages, ne hotel of this corporation is at the junction of the parkway, nion tpke. and Queens and the land taken was for the underpass that will carry traffic through tunnel so that there will be no cross traffic on any of the highways involved. Hotel Owners Claims The hotel claimed that its busi ness will be damaged by the fact that whereas it formerly was lo cated on a level grade wttn two Important highways, duo to changes in grade and the under pass, it will not be of such easy access to traffic.

The hotel asked a total of 705. The city, through Assistant Corporation Counsel Harry B. Mintz, opposed the granting of any consequential damages, saying the new and wider highways would bring better conditions to the hotel. Mr. Mintz stated yesterday that he will file protest in the name of the taxpayers against the $100,000 consequential award, still maintaining that no money should have been awarded for this.

Likewise protest will be filed by- Counsel Mintz in the city's name against the granting of conseiition-tlal damages to the amount of $3,569 to the Hillcrest Gurdeiis Corporation, which claimed the changing of grade of the parkway through Its development lowers the value ot Its remaining property. The total award to the corporation for land taken and consequential damages is $115,397.12. The claims of the owners of the 650 parcels involved totalled 096,622.60.

IS. The Sea Clirt Civic Association shifted its i political faith last night with a dying gasp, but not soon enough to iave itself frombcing voted out of existence. Although formally dis- banded, the association is a group ithout a cause. The political rally held under the association's auspices last night brought the double surprise. The.

first unexpected move came when meeting endorsed the Economy party ticket. Two years aqo the civic group backed Mayor U. C. Stevenson. About an hour after Stevenson's foes had been endorsed last night, a clique forced through a motion to form a new-taxpayers' group.

Both of these moves were accomplished by a meeting ten times tho size of the association's usual conclaves. A group of six or eight men has kept the association alive for several years, but last night there were more than 100 persons in the Village Hall. Charles H. Willich, Mayoralty candidate on the Economy party ticket, was endorsed after Charles I. Wood mr.de the nomination.

Then, in turn, the entire ticket was appjoved. When Victor Lipp. the association president, asked whether there were any more nominations, no one rose to mention Stevenson, who has declared he will run again. The next half-hour was occupied by Nelson L. North's defense of the School Board, of which he is chairman.

North maintained it had been wise to keep a surplus on hand, something for which the board has been criticized, and said the 1933-1934 education budget probably would total about $55. OuO. Along the same Village Trustee J. Frank Vernon, defended the Village Board, and said its budget probably would be cut to about $104,000 for the coming year. Robert Jonas was the speaker who put the verbal skids under the civic association.

He advocated formation of a new group and his idea was endorsed without a dissenting vote even though Lipp said, "We've got one organization here now. The civic association can handle all of these problems. We don't need another one. We've got more organizations than we need now, anyway." Despite this attack on Ihe new-move, the meeting decided to form a nucleus committee to work with the Village Board on the new-budget. The meeting adjourned a minute later without a formal motion.
