Roslyn Girl for Whom 100 Boy
Scouts Searched, Ideutified
in Bellevue Hospital
Mineola, June 22.—About the time that 100 and inore B<y Scouts were searching the wot>ds and 'waters be¬ tween this village and Roslyn yester- day Miss Janet Vo.se, of Roslyn, the girl mi.ssing since last Wednesday, was identifled in Bellevue Ho.spital, In Man¬ hattan.
The girl was unable to tell anything of herself or her wanderings since she left home a week agro.
Disclosure of the girl's identity came about through a butcher bill that the girl had taken from the home df her mother, Mrs. Kmily Vose. when" she wandered, away. The bill waa from the Empire Meat Market, in this vil¬ lage. Through that establishment the girl was traced back to the mother and Daputy Sheriff I^eonurd Thorne, in charge of the search, connected up the links on this end for the New York hospital authorities.
She had beoni iii and left the houae saying that ahe was going for a brief walk. She did not return and was last seen in Mineola, by a ne^hbor.

villages and cities.
The engineers at the meeting were: Clyde Polls, Harold Stevens, Albert Hempel of New York, Charle.s Miiler, former sewer commissioner of Port j 'Washington, and Frank P, .Smith and I William .Seaman, present sewer com- I miRsioners of i'ort Washington,
Various ways and means were dis¬ cussed. The engineers describinl the different kinds of sewer systems. It was estimated roughly that the cost of Installing sewers In Freeport would aii- proxlmale one million dollars.
Mr. Smith .said the sewers were laid in Port Washington before the village was incorporated and thnt a settling tank Is used, wherein solid matter is dissolved by chlorine. It Is a gravity .s.vstem and fakes care of abotit lOiiO houses, but no garages. For garages cessp<x)ls are required.
Mr. Hemple .said he had investigated the matter of sewers for Freeport some¬ what and was familiar with local condi tions hero, a low country with shifting sands to take into consideration. The gravity system would be tlie best, he said, and <ine pumping slation would he enough lo take cure of the whole town, bul the s.vstem would liave to lie water tight, lo keep out the ground water. Five years ago, when he went over the proposition, he estimated roughly that it wobld cost J450,QOO, but now it would cost aiKiul 50 per cent more, or abuut $700,000. He favore<l the Imhoff funk system for this village,
Mr. Hemple IhoUKht that two such tanks would tnke care of Freeport based on a 100 gallons per capita per day. No' surface water could lie carried this way. j but the garages could be accommod;ited | by using traps. Hempstead's plant i-i i based on the septic lank idea.
Other engineers explained other sys-l tems and suggested ways and means for the village of Freeport.
Hillx'rt .lohnson went on record as being in favor of giving all the vllla»?c the beneflt of the work at the same linie rather than doing work here and there .and making u local assessment.
It was estimated hy the engineers that a drop of five feet to the mile would be necessary for the Village of Freeixirt and tho con.senaus of opinion .seemetl to be thnt the Imhoff system would be the best.
Village President Robert I... Christie put in a sewer system at Fort Totten In 1904. It was estimated that a plant that would take care of 36,000 or 40,000 people would be suitable for Freeporl.
Harold Stevens is putting In a system at Olen Cove, that is combined with gar¬ bage disposal. It is called the "acti¬ vated sludge syatem." Air is pumped through the tanks, oxidizing the sludge and making it flt for fertilizer. The in¬ cinerator is operated by the burning garbage which is sorted over in bins.

The Board had .sought to rent the space, to get tnxicabs off the streets and away from business places.
Mr. Savage in a letter stated that the area in question, fo his mind was not targe enough to care for such' a number of cars. In addition, he .sold, he eoiilil not help but feel that if would be unjust to deinive fhe nieniliers of the existing a.s.soclation of their pres¬ ent stand upon the property. He wrote:
"The members of this organization, f find upon investigation, are repiitalile men. h.-^ve good cars. Whii-li an; kept ill 11 cleanly coiulltion, and give efll- cieiit service nl reiisonahle prices. So far as I am aware, we have never had any t-omplaints whafevf-r from the public about fhe shorlcoininKs. whether as to service or charges, on the part of the members of this taxi- cab as.sociation."

The body was washed ashore near the lifo saving station east of the golf links and neur the wre'k f>f an old coast guard patrolman.

TRYWGTOFORCE REDUCnONOF GAS CHARGES
Town Board Votes to Cooperate with Village Boards, If All Join In, to Secure Lower Charges Which Expert Reports Qn Be Made on Account of Lessening of Cost> for Materials
Hempstead, June 22.—Another at- tempt is fo be made to have the rate for ga« consumed In Hempsf»>nd town reduced, providinl the villages of Pree¬ port, Hempstead and Rockville Centre join with the town and share the ex¬ pense of prosecution. The Town Board at yesterday's meeting orithorized ac- tier, to reopen the taiso with the pro¬ viso that the villages txinsent fo do their part.
Henry L. Max.son, of Maxson A Jones., of Homp.sfejid, who handled the case for the town in conjunction with the vlliage attorneys, when the flght was made again.st the incr(.>ase in rafe.s,' yesterday submitted n plan, which tho Board accepted.
Frooport nnd Rockviilo Centro vil- ingeq hnve decided to join in the nc¬ tlon. The "Hcnipsfead Village Board last nighl lief erred action for ono week.
Prt\sident Cebi-gc MacDonald of the NiLs.sau &. Suffolk Lighting Company was requested to appear i>efore tho Hempstead Board, the idea being to Kive him a chance to leiliiee tlie prlco voluntarily and save the expense of n flght if po.«islblP. The Boanl will meet again nexl Tuesday night.
Wlien the order was tnade fixing the price of gas al $2 a thoii.saiid feel with a reduciion of ten cents ii thou- .sand if bills nre paid within fifteen tl.'iys nnd a seveiif.v centa servico charge, it was to be effective until June 30, or until furlher order of the commission.
Mr. Maxson submitted to the Town Board yostonluy and to the Hemp.stead Village Hoard lust niglit, a letter from Marvin Shlebler. who appeared in fhe case for the town and villages in tho matter last winter, showing reductions in the price of materials used in lha manufacture of gas.
Boiler fuel, according to the letter, can be delivered in Henipstend for $6.50 a ton, a reduction of $2 from fho price during Ihe lime covt-red by tho pcrioil on which the Commission based its decision. This means a re. duction for boiler Tuel for the i-r'ind from $20,000 to $15,;UlO.
C.enerator coal, he reiiorted, hnd goilo to $11.13 delivered in Heinpstoad, a reductio'n of $1.U7 a ton, or from flOl,- 887 to $93,200 for the period coveted.
Cas oil, which was 12 1-2 cents a giillon Is now seven cents, giving a lolal reduction on this Item for the period of from $182,!»02 to $102,&0«.
On the totul materials, Mr. .Shlebler reported, there had boon a reduction in cost of $83,789 for the period cov- ered by the inve.stigatlon. Ilieso changes alone, he said, slioulii rt-duco the price of gus apjiroximately 40 cents a thousand cubic feet.
Should the matter bu taken uji nguin, the cost to tlie town and villages wuuld be divided tho same as before, one-half to the town nnd oneslxth fo eacii of the three villages. Tho cost to tho Village of Hempstead wus approximate¬ ly $1,100 last time and about the same to the other Villages. At that timu the ndvance was not only held up tor several montha, saving thousands of dollars to the consumers, but liie com¬ pany was prevented from getting the $2.",'i asked for. ¦
In view of the fact that the greater imrt of the data gathered for file last Investigation Ik u.Habl« in the proposed new one, Mr. Maxson was of the opin¬ ion that the cost would not be high this time.
