Haggerty Bid of $195,743. On "S" Curve Rebuilding

SufTolk County is far in the lead, in a distribution of motor fuel tax receipts announced Oct. 13 by State Comptroller Frank C. Moore. A total of $2,497,161.60 is being distributed to 57 counties. This represents the share of state-collected motor fuel tax which is being returned to the counties for the three-month period which ended Sept. 30, 1950, in ac­cordance with the State Highway Law.

The law provides that 10% of the amount collected by the State be divided quarterly among the coun­ties outside of New York City on the basis of the number of miles of town highway in each county. The money goes into the county road fund, from which expenditures for construction and maintenance of county road systems are made. Suf­folk's portion is $126,044.29. The only two counties anywhere near that figure are Steuben, with $97,726.67, and St. Lawrence, with’ $95,262.12.

The only considerable State high­way project contemplated for the near future in this vicinity is the reconstruction of a portion of the Bridgehampton-Devon Highway with 24-foot asphalt concrete pavement extending eastwardly from a point at the town line between East Hampton and Southampton 1.66 miles to a point in the village of East Hampton west of Georgica Road. The work, including neces­sary grading and drainage, is esti­mated at $201,000. The only bidder was J. J. Haggerty, Inc. of West- hampton Beach, L. I., and the bid was $195,743.00.

Conditions in Korea Better, Says Rev. Kinsler

Rev. Francis Kinsler wrote Oct. 2 from Pusan, Korea: "The whole a t­mosphere here has changed. We are so relieved by the success of the U.N. forces. The many refugees are beginning to go back home and I hope they all can before cold weather sets in. It is fortunate, too, that the enemy was driven out be­fore the rice crop was harvested. It is an excellent crop this year and will help to relieve the food shortage.

‘‘Today we learned that U.N. forces have gone above the 38th parallel. If Korea is reunited it may get on its feet economically and enter a new day of progress. Our opportunity in the Christian enter-

the former Appleton place on the dunes had been dismissed, and the case of a third postponed for one month. The firemen, according to Fire Chief Nathan Conklin and others in the Department, have had trouble for years with spectators getting in the way of the firemen trying to do their duty. The fire­men would like to have first chance on the parking spaces near the fire. There are State and Village ordi­nances which should protect them.

The fire alarm was sent in Friday at 6:30 p.m. The Regan family, who rent the house from Mrs. John W. Kiser, had a fire in a fireplace; a spark ignited the roof; it was put out very quickly. But with a few minutes' delay it coulld have been very serious. Fire Chief Conklin said: “We have always had trouble with people going to a fire and getting in the way. Through the Star, at different times, we have quoted the law and requested peo­ple to keep away; or, if they must follow a fire, to wait a reasonable length of time—five or ten minutes —to give the firemen a chance to reach the scene first. In several in­stances a fireman has been obliged to walk a quarter of a mile before he could reach the fire. Our policy is to have the apparatus reach the fire as quickly as possible; we feel that the first few minutes of the

Abraham & Straus To Build Hempstead Store

Walter Rothschild, President of Abraham & Straus of Brooklyn, has

inounced that in addition to the ;wly acquired Garden City store would immediately commence the ection of a new department store i Hmpstead, to be known as A. & S.

Mr. Rothschild stated that the empstead operation would "be a rge store, with ample parking

facilities, calculated to meet, along with the Garden City store, the rap­idly expanding shopping require­ments of Nassau and Suffolk coun-

A & S has also just acquired a warehouse with railroad siding a few minutes from its Garden City store. "This will enable the Garden City Store,” Mr. Rothschild said, ‘to carry staple stocks in greater

depth than has been possible here- e, and with less reliance on the

Brooklyn store to fill its immediate merchandise needs.”

“This development in Hempstead, along with the Garden City Store,

provide the greatest possible met­ropolitan shopping advantages and convenience to residents of an area vhose growth in the past ten years las exceeded anything ever seen in he eastern part of the United

States."Abraham & Straus is a member Federated Department Stores Inc.

St. Philomena’s R. C. Church here. Rev. William Osborne performed the

emony. The church was decorated with autumn flowers; and a solo, "Ave Maria" was sung.

"The firemen have always been more than willing to use their own cars and gas and time in protecting property here; but they are very naturally annoyed when they find an entrance blocked by spectators and they have to lose valuable time walking. The fire trucks have first right-of-way—trucks and other ap­paratus; then the firemen in their

"The law says that when fire ap­paratus approaches and the siren sounds, anybody on the road must pull over as far to the right as pos­sible and STOP. Very few do it. There is also a State law which says that nobody but firemen can park within a block of the fire or the fire-fighting apparatus.
