Captain General and Governor in Chief, in and over
the Province of New Vo^k, and the Territory de
pending thereon in America. Chancellor and Vice-
Admiral of the fame, and Major-General of his
Majesty's Forces.
A PROCLAMATION.
THE Necessity of a fofonable and ampl^ Supplv 0:
FUEL, for the Use or his Majesty's Troops,
obliges me, however reludbant to call on the Inhab t#nts
of Long-Bland, to furniffi a Pr. portion of Wood for the
Barrack-Yard in New-Yoik, fevers Plans have been
successively adopted ; but without their Afliftance a Suf
ficient Quantity to guard agai^ft the Severities of aJ ng
Winter cannot be procured; and I flatter mrf'lf, they
will the more cheerfully comply with the Requisition, a.
the Burthen, if any, will be equally borne, and the In
jury that muff unavoidably tetri Individuals, from an
unforeseen Deficiency be prevented.
The County of Ki 0 is therefore .required to get
1500 C rdp; Queen's County 45°° i '"' ''" " e ° ern
Part of Suffolk (including Huntington, Blip, Smith-
Town, and Brookhaven) goco Cords, ready cut and
corded by the 15th of August enfurng.
And that the Distribution may be equally made and all
WafieavoiQ the CGd and Military Officers of each
County will meet, on Saturday the 25th Inst. at Fiat-
Buffi, Jamaica, and Smith-Town, and afftfs on each
DiftriA, a proportionate Part of the Quantity d^rnande .
The Officers in the Diftrid will then ^re& the Farmers
each to cut his Part, regulating it by the Wood Land he
possesses; and on Notice being given, will mufttr th:
Teams of the Neighbourhood, and cart the W od to such
Landing as shall be appointed, where the Wood ready
corded, is to be by them forveyed in the Pretence of the
Barrack Officer, who will give a Certificate on the Spot
for the Number of Cords, to rhe Proprietor at the Rue
of Thirty Shinies per Cord fol Walnut, and Twenty for
Oak ; and also for the Cartage, at thd Rate of Four
Shillings a£ord per Mile. The Teams so employed will
be fully protested, and the Certificates punctually pa d.
The foregoing Regulations not being adapted to the
Situation of the eastern Part of Suffolk ; the Inhabitants
of Southold, Southampton, and East Hampton, are re
quired to cut in the Wood Lands late belonging to Wil
liam Smith, and William Floyd of said County (now
out in Rebellion) in the parts thereof nearest to the
Landing by Maffick Neck, 3000 Cords of Wood, to be
ready by the firft of September. On due Information be
ing given, they will cart the fame, and attend in the
mean while to its Preservation, and when surveyed on
the Water-fide, they will receive at the Rate of Ten
Shillings per Cord, for cutting and carting as above men
tioned. ,
These Orders being calculated at once to provide for the
Army, and to give every Security to the Farmer ggainft
others interfering with his Property; be will be left
without Excuse, if by a criminal Neglea he does not
avail himfelf of the advantageous Offers held out to him.
and must expert to fuffer all the Evils consequent on his
Vifobedience.
