Jan. 27.—At a conference of boards of educatlnii In Suffolk County, held at RIverhead recently, ll was voted to ask tho legislature to pro¬ vide for payment by the stuto of $50 for tuition of each non-resident pupil attending a high school, the difference between Iho $50 and the ascertained cost of educating the pupil to be borne

Freeport. Jan. 27.—Cpoii Institiclions ot the \'illage Trustees, at their meet Ing yesterd/iy. Counsel Clinton .M, Flint will prepare a proposition for subnils nion al tho election on March 15, pro¬ viding for remuneration for V.if \iilaKe president and trustees. T.i.? csmpensii- llon provided will Ix* sma'', jirobably $500 per year, for tli° ..ustees, and $750 for the president. It wlli be more with the Idea of rfjimbursing the mem liers for actual tl.n<. and expense, riilh 01   than  componsatlon   tor  tliclr  work
Another proposition lh.at will lie sub¬ mitted will bo for wldehing the proiKwivt concrete roail on .Seaman avenue, whicli is to be constructed by the state. The road is to l>c 16 foet wide, and the county will pay for two feet moro through unlnc<jri>orated \Hinges, mak¬ ing it 18 feet. If this width is main¬ tained through the incorporated villages of Freeport and Rockvllle i>nlro il must bo at the expense of the villages. Tbe iKjard l^elloveM this should be de¬ cided by tho taxpayers. The coat to Freeport   wUl   be  about   $7000.
No action was taken on the petll Ion for water mains on Etist .Morrtc!'. road, Albany avenue and Mill road. This would nece.MsUato !^«^•eral hundred feci of additional main, for which there are no funds available at the jiresent time,

EXPLOSION OF TANK BLOWS OUTfflNDOWS
Workman Uninjured By Blast That
Shattered Glass—Gasoline
Fumes Responsible
Freeport, Jan. 27—Morris Wlltlen ot the Freeport Radiator Company, Mer¬ rick road and Honry street, owes his life to an all-wi.se Providonco. He was uninjured whon u gasoline tank he was soldering, exploded Saturday.
The force of tho explosion blew out the two largo windows In the shop and Ix-nt a heavy parlltlon In the bactc of the store. Wlltlen ho'Z the tank on lil.'i bench, and wa.s net even knocked down  by  the concu.sslon.
Il was a boat tank and Wlltlen un-
number  der^tood  that  It  had  never  been   used.
He   r. 13   been   in   business   twenty-live
the   building   liad   been   completed,   »o
by  the  school district  from  which  theU,,at  ^^e  contractor %vas  no  longer  al
pupil comes.
When tho matter was called lo the attention of Superintendent J. T. P. Calkins of the Hempstead publl<:: schools by a representatlva of the Review. Mr. Calkins explained that under tho pres¬ ent law the state pays $50, but in some Instancea that Is all tho high sohool district can obfiln. It is much less than the average eost of (Educating a pupil during the school year.
This law, Mr. C:alkln9 pointed out. provides that the state shall pay $60, and if the high school district charged more than $50 a year on May I, 1919, tho district from which the non-re«i- itent pupil cornea must make up the dJlforenoe. But If tho high s<'hool dis¬ trict wna charging only $60 on that date, the amount ixiuld not be increased.
l'nder these conditions, Hempslead district, which was receiving $70 a pu¬ pil lor non-residenti* on May 1, 1919, now receives tho same amoiMit. tho state imying $50, and the illatrlct the other  $20.
Freepoft ia still Kottlng only $50 a year, while Lawrence is getUnK $100.
Mr. CalKlns 1« of the opUiion that the law la unjust, not only to the blgh •oltool dlstrlota. but to tho people of th« state, enpeclftlly New Tork Olty. The 3tate compulsory education law provide* that every school dlatrlot must
the mercy of the weather, and that the work of Installing the new engine could now go on unhindered. ,\llhough this work waa lieguiti in what is usually tho worst part of the year, there has been practically no time lost on account of weather.
Tho fl'C—.!.'>anl question at the meeting AVednesday was the .sev*'nty cent ser- vl<'e rate now charged by the Nasaau and Suffolk Lighting Co. President Oeorge MacDonald of the gaa company was preaent.
The absence of Village Preidenl Clarence Ed'Wartht and Clerk Shea from the me«ttng force<l the rest of the board to "double up." Trustee Howard K.  Ptvtirsall  was acting i>res!dent.
Mr.  MacDonald said  in part:
"There is a lot ot miHUnderslaiidlng on the part of tho jieople altout this seventy-cent sorxiee charge. It is an equitable rate set by the fubile Ser¬ vlco Commi-'islon .and leased on your own flgurea. ll hns l>een adopte<I in 46 states where there ai'<^ Public Ser¬ vice Ooramissloiu.

these thai the accident hapiniied.   ¦Witt- Ion said he would liave blown out the i fiiines  before  l^eglnning  work   had   he j known   that   tlie   tank   had   been   us#d. '
As ll was. the copper compartments I contained some ga-s and wlu'U the hot i soldering iron hit them—il liapjiened. \ Outside of a Ilttle pop like that of a cork. Wlltlen said he heard nothing | but the two windows were blown out i a,H clean as though they had been re¬ moved with  care.

r^r^ttJ^u 0PPo«'t;on LS developiiiK every hour to the pro¬
posed change m the State Highway Law. now before the com- mittees of Senate and A.s.sembly at Albany. Thi.s bill, in dupli¬ cate form for presentation to the two hou.se.s of the legi.slatiire proposes to readjust the entire program ol' highway .oiistruf- tion m the State. The committee i.s agreed that the ixH.ommeii- rtations of local repre.sentative.s shall .stand. Na.s.sau County men especially many of them in the Town of Hemp.stead. are ofthe opinion the local representatives are not favoring the best plan.    Hence the oppo.sition.
Tlje bill revise.s the entire .state higiiwav sv.stem. It takes out all the highway.s whicli had been prepareti for improve¬ ment and sub.stitutes the pipe line e.xtending from East New York through QueeiLs Borough and Nassau County to the Suf¬ folk County line.
Backers of the bill ))re.sent the advantages of tlie pipe line boulevard in glowing terms. It is advocated to relieve conges¬ tion on the Merrick road, universally conceded to be necessary.
  Opponents of the measure prefer to continue with plan.n
Nassau Siipen-iRors .Asked (o Defer Ell-j ^''"6**^y i" hand for the improvement of the Valley Stream- laruemeiit   of   County   Tui>ercuiosi8 | Wantagh road, generallv known a.s the Seaman avenue route
"r;":;;;i:'" rr*.-!™ n.:;1s'^ ; ,,,:ilJ^^'°;,^f ^i'« contention H is shown that^ this is a project
 _. I entirely within Nassau Lounty, that it  can be accomplished
.Mineola, .lan, 27-Hoiding lliat state j Within a year according to plan.s already developed so that all troopers or members of the .Stale Con i is ready for the uecessarv 1)011(1 issue. To abandon this plan are the present best means. | and .sub.stitute the pipe lille bouleval'd, as favored in the bill, would require joint action liy public authorities of Kiiig.s. (iueens and Na.ssau Counties, a complication which indicates thai it would be at lea.st three years before the project could be completed.
The relative cost of the two routes is put at .$5,000,000 as a minimum for the boulevard as compared with le.s.<* than a million for the Seaman aven'U' route.
An additional matter of cost that would enter into the project if the boulevard plan were adopted woukl be the ex¬ emption from ta.xation of all that iiortioii of the property used ^ °" by the Brooklyn waterworks, south of the L. I, II. R. tracks ex¬ cepting pumping .stations. Exemption would date from thf time of ceding the property, regardless of the time when coii- .struction of the boulevard might take place. The effect would be a lo.ss to Nas.sau County of the money now received from taxe.s on a large part of the waterworks jirojierty and a va.st increa.se in the taxation to meet con.slruction co.sts.
For these reasons opposition to tho change of route is grow¬ ing hourly, as the facts become known.
Chairman Hiram R. Smith, of the .N'a.ssau County Board of Supervisors .said today the Seaman avenue route is economi¬ cally correct.
He irointed out that there is today in the .state treasury to the credit of Na.ssau County $4<H),00(i available for highway im¬ provement. Should the chani^e l)e made to the boulevard route this money would revert to the state and Na.ssau would have to look to future action to get it.s share of needed funds.
Repre.senting Na.s.sau County, Chairman Smith, (1. Wilbur Doughty, County Engineer P>ed Starks, and H. Stewart Mc¬ Knlght, counsel, conferred with the Lieutenant-Governor and Senator Hewitt, chairman in charge of the bill, at Albany on Wednesday.
They found the committee ready to a<lopt whatever course the local representatives would back, and in.si.sting upon being consistent in their course as to all other parts of the state.
A.s.semblvman McWhinney, who attended the conference, declared him"self emphatically in favor of the bo'jlevard route. Returning to Long Island the county's representatives have made known the facts of the ca.se. Today's action in the mat¬ ter is the circulation of protests which are to be sent in the form of telegrams to Senator George L. Thompson, at Albany. Here is a copy of the first telegram, bearing signatures of itri origina¬ tors and every hour more names are added to the list of signers: We protest against substitution of pipe line boulevard for Valley Stream-Wantagh road and Front .street. Hemp.stead in Senate Bill Number 33.
