NEW YORK. Feb. 2S-Cspseial Tels-
gram.)-The millionaire residents OF Sands
Point, Motifs Point and Bar Keepers
Point were roundly scored yesterday by su-
preme Court Justice Kelly In Brooklyn for
what he termed an attempt to perpetuate
feudai conditions in this country In con

They have been trying 70 create a new
school district 20 embrace this territory
and to secede from the school district Of
Port Washington. thus evsding the pay
ment of $4,000 as school taxes.
II Is charged that the rich residents or
ganized themselves. servants and employees
into separate corporations so that. all
would become freeholders before the
election and Immediately after the cleo
ton these corporations we're dissolved. In
granting a temporary injunction. the case.
which was carried into court by W.
Bourke Cochran as attorney for the com
missioners, Judge Kelly said;
1T may have been surprised at the sud
den influx Of real estate owners on Sep
TENDER 16 as shown by the county records.
But on October s. when the meeting was
held, they did not and could not appre-
ciate the ingenuity Of the incorporators,
because, until the time limited TO object to
the supervisory findings expired, the deeds
which disqualified the freeholders were
kept out Of sight. II was only when II was
too late to OBJECT that they were placed on
record.
Il do not think the legislature intended
that any one man could organize himself
into a municipal corporation with the as
sfstance OF his farm hands and domestic
servants. The enterprise has the flavor Of
old feudal conditions and Is opposed to
the institutions OF this country and is con-
trary to the policy Of the state Of New
York.
The creation of q separate municipal
corporation is one OF the most solemn and
serious things In our system OF govern
ment Whether II be a county. a city, a
town or a village. these are the creation
Of the people OF the state for the good Of
all of the people"
