DIFFICULTY IN FINDING PLACES IN LONG ISLAND

stranger In Long Island City inevitably has
hard experience. Many miles Of streets stretch In
various directions and throughout the whole extent
of the region there Is not single street sign to DO
seen. Even old residents do not seem to know the
location of many Of the streets. and the orhcias
about the railroad station are. for the most part
equally ignorant A visitor to the former domain
Of pat Gleason inquired for a certain street re-
Gently No information could be obtained from
those connected with The Long Island Railroad or
others who might be expected to have VIDE &C.
uuaintance In the city. Even the car conductors
were not generally informed on the subject, but At
last one Of them expressed the belief that the de-
sired street not far from the route which
his car took After the visitor was seated the con-
ductor proceeded to question all the passengers 70

was to be found He gathered some conflicting In

the visitor about half q mile beyond the desired

store which must often have caught the conduo-
tors eye longlngly or otherwise. The conductor
had nasscd the street several times daily for over
a wear but the absence OF all street signs and the
fact that the region was not well built up. partv
explained his ignorance
At another time, an inquiry concerning Stenway-
ave an Important thoroughfare In one part OF Long
Island CITY, developed like state OF ignorance
None Of several business men near the ferry seemed
to know this location and one car conductor OF con.
siderable experience answered: "Steinway-ave.G
