MT BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1934' Flatbush C.ofC.j Poet Markham Visits Flatbush to Celebrate Birthday Consultation With Plumber Urged on Flo it er Gardeners 1 1 The ordinary glass holders, she pointed out, often prove unsatisfactory because the holes are too small, except for very thin-stemmed flowers. Holders of wire, in a basket arrangement, are obtainable, she said, and the plumber's lead is another alternative. Flowers with "sappy stems," such as snapdragons and steeple flowers, tend to spoil the water quickly. To prevent this Mrs. Merrill advised removing most of the leaves that would be under water: In cutting flowers a sharp knife should be used rather than a scissors and the stems should be cut diagonally, she said.

Monkeys Shine In Fusion Eyes, Says Alderman Whitty Assails Rice for 275 Dismissals in Gty Health Stations The action of the Fusion administration in eliminating jobs of approximately 275 doctors and nurses connected with public health stations throughout the city today was criticized as poor policy by Alderman Joseph B. Whitty of Flatbush. Alderman Whitty said he would introduce a resolution today to bring Health Commissioner John L. Rice before the Board of Aldermen to explain his department's stand in the matter. Zoo Given Preference According to Whitty, many mothers in the Flatbush area have protested vigorously against the cut in the service rendered by baby health stations.

He declared th city administration's expenditures for zoos in Prospect and Central Parks could not be justified when it was found necessary at the samt time to economize in vital health work. If youould have beautiful flower arrangements in your home, see your plumber. The plumber can supply you with a strip of pliable lead which is easily twisted into a flower holder to be placed at the bottom of the bowl or vase. Mrs. wnitney Merrw pointed out last night at a meeting of the Pilgrim League of the Flatbush Congregational Church in the parish house, E.

Sifts Charges Against Water Committee to Report Tomorrow on Findings in Dispute Over Quality The special committee appointed by the directors of the Flatbush Chamber of Commerce to investigate charges that water supplied by the New York Water Service Corporation is "contaminated" held a hearing yesterday at the chamber's offices, 887 Flatbush Ave.

No action was decided on at the hearing. Mortimer Steinfels, chairman of the special committee, declared a report would be submitted at tomorrow's meeting of the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce, after which a statement of the group's findings will be made public. Charge 'Contamination' The investigation was decided on as a result of the current drive by the City Water for Flatbush Committee to secure legislation permitting the city to pipe its water into the area now served by the New York Water Service Corporation. The City Water Committee in letters and posters proclaimed Flatbush water is "contaminated" with mineral contents. It was announced that a questionnaire sent to members of the Prospect Park South Association regarding the city water campaign revealed that a large majority of residents in that section were opposed to any change in the water supplied them.

Richard J. Wulff, president of the association, declared many did not favor the proposal to replace the present water service with city water because of the prospect of increased costs. The rates charged by the municipality are now 50 percent higher than those of the private utility company. Those who participated in the discussion regarding the quality of Flatbush water at the hearing of the Chamber of Commerce committee yesterday were Deputy Commissioner John E. Eastmond of the Department of Water Supply; George D.

Norcom, chemist and chief sanitary engineer for the New York Water Service Corporation; J. A. Bliven, general manager of that concern's Flatbush plant; Walter E. Titus and Ernst F. Distler.

C. of C. Committee In addition to Steinfels, other members of the chamber committee present were John J. Snyder, Dr. D.

M. McCarthy and George J. Higgins. Assemblyman Charles H. Breit-bart of the 21st A.

D. and Murray R. Paris, chairman of the City Water for Flatbush Committee, did not attend the hearing, although invited to do so. Paris wrote a letter declaring it his belief that the Chamber of Commerce committee was not a proper tribunal for the investigation, and added he expected it to complaints against the "present Flatbush water supply. Breitbart wrote he was unable to attend because it was necessary for him to return to Albany yesterday.

Introduced Bill The latter introduced legislation permitting the city to enter the Flatbush area. This was at the request of the City Water Committee. The bill, however, was not reported out of committee in either the Senate or the Assembly. Breitbart also introduced a law, signed by Governor Lehman Saturday, which makes it necessary for private water firms to post public notices of discontinuance of service 15 days before the supply is cut off for non-payment of water rents The legislator explained this was aimed at the New York Water Service Corporation. It will permit tenants in apartment houses to prevent the shutting off of water by allowing them the opportunity to band together to pay such rents.

This, he explained, would give them the legal right to deduct the amount of such contributions from the rent due the apartment owner who defaulted paying his water bill. Population Shifts Crowd Schools Blaming the floating populace for the overcrowded condition of the public schools in New York, Col. Walter J. Carlin, chairman of the Committee of Buildings and Sites in the Department of (that there Is ample room for 1,250,000 students In the publ.c schools of the city.

Nash has something you should see, a car you should drive, before you buy in 1934. Maybe you don't like to shop for a car.

But if you will adopt a "show me" attitude in your 1934 motor car buying, we believe we can show you that you'll be money ahead and drive a better car. We can show you one with exclusive Twin Ignition power and 10 other Preference Points, priced from $775 up f. o. b. factory that has caused a lot of people to change to Nash no matter how happily they were wedded to their other cars! This is an emphatic claim.

Drive a Nash for 1934 and see why we can make it! Watch department store counters. American women are inveterate shoppers. They compare and know, before they buy.
