New Utrecht townspeople are becom-

!se that 1t will be no easy matter to get
rid OF Cornelius Furgueson as Shore In
spector, now that Gov Flower has
vetoed Senator Mullins bill providing
for the abolition OF the office. The votes
OF the town demonstrated at the recent
election that they lid not want any more
of Furgueson and his ring. His Candi-
date for Supervisor Bennett, was de-
feated by Van Pelt, and the result was
gleefully acclaimed by the opponents Of
he Furgucson ring.
Gov. Flower has surely displeased the
Majority of the townspeople by vetoing
the bin depriving the State Of Furgue-
sons costly services. A meeting OF the
Town Board will be held ut the Town
Hall. Eighty-slsth street, next week.
