It seems Mr. Smith has aecured responsi¬ bility for action of Board and as I do not desire to be acrimonious or indulge fancy instead of fact to the extent he has, I have simply to reafllirm my charges and promise the gentleman in question that if action is not taken and remedy given this school year, I will take the matter above him and get the result.

Suffolk Has Big Time Wednesday
The western part of Suffolk County came into it's own Wednesday, when the electric line from Huntington through Farmingdale to Amityvilie was opened amid a blaze of enthusiasm which swept all along the route. The connection link between the North and South sides of the island as represented by the new line is an important innova¬ tion for the part of the country it opens up. It will be the greatest fac¬ tor in the development of this territory and is a feather in the caps of those who were its original agitators and in the L. I. R. R. Co. who has an eye open for the main chance.
Committees from all three villages were in charge of Wednesday's cele¬ bration and tney did their work well. In Amityvilie the celebration consisted of an automobile parade, ^reception of guests of the day, a band concert, and the dcpartuie of seven loaded trolley cars for the North shore terminous. "There was a base ball game between the Waukewan 'Nand the Patchogue teams, resulting In a victory for the Patchogue Club. At 2 P. M. there were athletic games and aquatic con¬ tests, and in tne evening fireworks and a band^ concert for the promenaders who were seemingly loath to go  horae.
In Huntington the crowds were on hand early to awaite the arrival of the cars and the special railroad trains after which was held the biggest parade in the history of the village. It con¬ sisted   of  a  National  Guard  division,
