walks, for the following reasons:
1st. The resolution provides for the
building of plank sidewalks only. The
building of plank sidewalks in the busi-
ness portion of the town is waste of
money. The sidewalks in that portion
of the town should be of more durable
material, such as asphalt, brick or ce-
ment.
I'd. am of the opinion that the sum
appropriated for the building of these
sidewalks is too large an appropriation
to be made for a single purpose, as it
will leave the treasury of the town in
too depleted condition, and should an
unforeseen accident occur at our w. W.
and e. |. plant, or should we have to
meet any unforeseen accident of any
magnitude, such as an epidemic We
would find the town in a crippled con-
dition financially. / agree with the
spirit of the resolution and believe that
We could not spend money to a better |
advantage than the builuinp of side |

The business of the nation is now being transacted at Oyster Bay, where President Roosevelt has gone to secure much needed rest, and to spend his short vacation in comparative retire. ment with his family. Secretaries Cortelyou and Loeb, who have accom- panied the president to Oyster Bay, have taken cottages in the villages and offices have been secured in the town for the transaction of such business as may be imperative, so that, in so far as possible, Mir. Roosevelt may remain undisturbed in his summer home. A long distance telephone has been in- stalled in the temporary white house so that Secretary Barnes, who remains in charge in Washington, will be able to communicate with the officers at Oyster Bay at any time and all routine business will be transacted in Washing ton. On August 14th the President will leave Oyster Bay for the New England states where he will pay Q number of visits and he will then go west, not returning to Washington until October sth, the date on which the Grand Army encampment in that city will begin.
