T) the shortsighted It never seem^ expedient to apply great prlml plea to life broadly nnd fairly and truly. There were colonLits who deemed George Washington au Irresponsible firebrand for doing anything so lutx pedlent as to lead u weak yonng colo¬ ny to whr with Its powerful mother country. But he marched In the face of expediency to the victory of the principle for which he wns willing to sacrifice everything. It was not al iTlT^ expedient for the early Chrlatlaiis to believe In the priuclples that Christ taught them. If they had listened to the shortsighted the fires of tbeir faith must have iK^en soon chilled by those who were always on hand to point out how poorly such "doctrines of Irrespon¬ sibility" wotild .Tpply to life and how menacing tbey were to the "welfare of the state.' hut tbe early Christians didn't listen. Thev belleve<l and died for the privilege <>f l>ellevlng.

But wc haven't come sd very fnr. To this d.'iy it is (Inngerous to liellove with n belief that surpasses the hue and cry of es pe<llency.

At the regular meeting of the board of supervisors held In the chambers at Mineola on Friday, Sept. 3, A. T. Davison representing the town of Hempstead, appeared before the board.and filed a demand by the town of Hempstead for interest on $87,216 in the equalization of tax proceedings by the town of Hempstead to be levied against the towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay.
On July I'O, 19ir>, the state tax commission adjudicated that the sum of $12,117,792 (excess amount of val¬ uation upon which ta.xes were asses¬ sed) be deducted from the aggregafe corrected value ot real and personal property ot the town of Hempstead for the year 1911 and that same be added to the towns of North Hemp¬ stead and Oyster Bay as follows: North Hempstead, |."),6."j.'),;i»;6, and Oyster Bay, $6,462,456. And further that the ta.\ of $87,216.60 which was raised in e.xcess of the amount that should have been raised, in the town of Hempstead, he included iu the bud¬ gets of the towns of North Hemp¬ stead and Oyster Bay as follows: N'orth Heinpstead, $40,703.72 and Oyster Bay, $46,.-, 12.SS with 6 per cent, interest from July, 1912, until the issuance of the warrants to the receiver of tu.\cs in the respective towns.
The demand of Davison ot the t(i<vn nf neni'istead therefore was for tne sums of $40,7n:i.72 and $46.."il2.- SS, will) interest front-July, 1912. On the resolution of Su|)ervisor Smith to tliis tn'ect. Supervisors Christ and Cocks voted negatively, which means that tlie case will have to be taken to the courts for further litigation, which cannot liui result in the Town of Hempstead's favor. it should be noted that .Supervisor Christ voted no on tiie restlution only so far as it applies to the iiit<>re.-t. He favored llie resolution withoui tliat provision.
The County Treasurer was duly notitled to make .several transfers in funds and to employ two additional clerks to assist in the preparation of tax sale data for a period not to ex¬ ceed .three months and at a salary not to exceed .?100 a month each.
At the meeting of September ,'ith, the Sheriff reported 70 prisoners for tlie week ending September ."ith.
