Smucker Addresses
Southwest Civics
On L.I.R.R, Plans
Insists on Raise
In Commutation to
Meet Growing Demands
General Manager D'a v. i d E.
Smucker, ambassador of good will
of the Long Island Rail Road, ad-dressed
the members of the South-west
Civic Association at their final
.meeting until September, Monday
night in Exempt Firemen's Hall.
He stressed especially the fact
that 50 double decker cars, were
being constructed for the railroad,
delivery of which he said would
begin in September. He added
these cars with a total capacity of
6,600 would cost $7,000,000 and said
lie had been told 1,600 homes would
be completed in Nassau County this
year. He continued he had been
advised 75 percent of these build-ings
would be occupied by newcom-ers
to Nassau County adding more
than l,400*,commuters to the daily
load of th'e Long Island Rail Road.
If this pace was continued, he
maintained, the colnpany would not
be able to meet 'the demand for in-creased
facalities unless it received
additional revenue through the 5
percent incrase in commutation
rates disallowed when the 20 per-cent
raise was granted. He said,
however, the temporary rates
would expire on July 1, and he
hoped that at that time the Public
Service Commission would grant
permanent rates substantial enough
to enable the company to earn an
operating revenue sufficient to put
it. on a pay as you go basis. He
said also he hoped railroads would
• be^permitted to - increase straight
fares to-3 cents a mile, which would
net ?3,000,000 additional- a year.
Mr. Smucker repeated the list of
improvements promised when the
P.S.C. permitted the increase in
communtation rates, which he said
was being carried out and would be
completed regardless of the In-crease
in the cost of materials. For
the end of the three-year period, he
said, he could make no promises.
If the railroad was unable to meet
the demands placed on it by the
growing__ population, he predicted
dire things^for home owners unless
something was done to -assist the
company.
William J. Albert was re-elected
president, with Stephen J. O'Brien
and William Ashley as vice-presi-dents;
Dr. Jules M. Nova, treas-urer;
Alan Kellock, secretary, and
Fitzhugh B. Jones, sergeant-at-arms.
The slate was presented by
Augustin L. Hogan on behalf of^-the
nominating committee.
A resolution appealing to the
Village authorities to pick up stray
dogs was adopted. Dr. Stephen L.
Daly and L. M. Black were wel-comed
as members.
Lightning Strikes J. J. Sheehan Home
Where Misfortune Has, Fallen Recently
Wrecks Chimney, Sets Attic Afire and Tears
Plaster from Walls; Chief Chuisano Injured
They say lightning never strikes twic«e in the s;iuu> place
hut it can and does hit where misfortune has fallen before. Tin?
is the situation at the home of Mrs. John J. .Shechaii, 15
ave., where a bolt struck early Sun
day morning during the heavy
shower, partially wrecking the attic
and second story of the building
But for one of those Incident*
which occur from time to time am
for which_no explanation can be
offered, the occurrence might have
been turned into a tragedy.
It was the third misfortune that
has struck occupants of the house
where Mrs. Sheehan lives with hei
niece, Mrs. Ruth Carris, and the
latter's children, Carol 5, and Wil-liam,
15 months. Mrs. Sheehan is
the widow of John J. Sheehau, a
Republican District Committeeman
and vice-president of the Freeport
Republican Club, who died a couple
months ago. Mrs. Carris was
widowed last fall, when her hus-band,
Patrolman William Carris,
was shot and killed while hunting
deer -at. Rig Flats, near Elmlra,
N.-Y.,- last-frail. Incidentally the
lightning "hit on the 13th of the
month.
Mrs. Carris probably was spared
another bereavement because her
daughter, Instead of sleeping In her
own room, Saturday night, ex-pressed
a desire and was permitted
to spend the night in bed with her
mother. When the bolt struck, It
passed out through a wall in back
of Carol's bed, over the bed and
out through, the front window,
which was open, hurling the screen
across the street. Little William
who was asleep in his crib on the
other side of the ^oom, escaped un-harmed.
It was 3:04 A'.'M., 'when the bolt
hit the chimney, making a big hole
in the rocpn, tearing loose plaster
an delectric light fixtures on the
second floor, and then out through
the children's bed room. Broken
bricks from the chimney and splin-tered
shingles from the room were
scattered over the'street and .lawns
for a wide area, and a brick was
hurled through a window of the
home of Arlie N. Martin, 15 Prince
aver;—in-which all the fuses were
blown by the heavy current that
passed through the wires from the

in as bad-condition as appearance
indicated, the village stands to save
$771 on the resurfacing project.

. Village'TSngirieer Herbert M". Wood
- and agreed to deduct an amount
equal to $1.50 for each square yard
of paving from, its original bid.
,; This deduction' totals'$771, which
* will reduce the cost of the project
to .$10,998.60, if Village Counsel

Kin But Pleads
Not GuUty Himself
Seven boat owners given sum-monses
by Freeport police on Sun-day.
June 6, for speeding In excess

guilty before Judge >Iilbert R.
Johnson Tuesday and were fined
$5 each. William E. Watson, of
tho g^Uantie-South—etv-lo— AsBOcia-tion.^
ulao pleaded guilty on behuH'
of William Sherer, his brother-in-law
and paid the J5 but entered a
plea of not guilty in his own behalf
and the case was set down for trial
next Tuesday at 11 A.M.
At the June meeting of the-At-lantic-
South Civics It was charged
that the police handed out "tickets"
only to owners of craft propelled by
outboard motors. As a result, the
secretary was instructed to write
u letter to the Village Board pro-testing
against this alleged discrim-inating.
However, on further in-vestigation,
officers reported they
earned the bulk of the summonses
were given owners of cruisers and
larger • boats. As a result It was
decided to send a letter of com^
mendatlon instead to Police Chief
Peter Elar.

charged that the wash from the
boats was damaging their boats
and bulkheads. They alao protest-ed
against the practice of many
boat owners, particularly the
younger element, running outboard
motors with the mufflers open Just
for the sound effects which are not
appreciated by the home owners
along the water front.
