Broadening Influence Expected
by Entering Express Co.

Two notable recent circumstances are
bound TO have broadening influence on
Long Island real estate. one is the &C
QUESTION OF the Long island Express Com
pany los the Adams Express COMPANY
and the other is the announced purpose
~ tie state To establish an agricultural
school near Farmingdale. That the Adams
Express Company has found IL worth
while to include all OF Long Island within
it's business zone is sufficient evidence oil
extensive residential growth in the terri
tory. and the plan To- establish an agri-
cultural school near Farmingdale Is ample
testimony 20 the availability of Long ISL
and soil for experimental and practical
farming purposes Hundreds of young
men from the suburban communities OF
Nassau County as well as from Brooklyn
and elsewhere viii avail themselves Of
this school for knowledge Of agriculture.
Small farming has increased consider
ably during the last three years in the
rural sections OF eastern Nassau County
and western suffolk county, aud the re-
suit is redoundlng 10 the advantage Of
NUnllfUdW ltMlNs line fifIlADSk'dNs T. W. a.
Park. Rockville centre and contiguous
communities. because these truck farmers
sell their produce to hundreds Of home
owners there and thus save the cost Of
Ions shipments.
Farmingdale itself IS destined TO be
within a few years residential place OF
importance Benjamin f. Yoallum. the
railroad magnate. las a large landed es-
tate north Of the village limits, and he
IS taking a keen interest in the gen
eral progress and growth Of Farm
ingdale The result Is a beneficial
effect OH communities not far dis
tant. among them Floral Park. which Is
on the same line OF the railroad. Mr..
Yoakum has done much TO show the
utility of long island soil for truck farm
Ing purposes. He is also a strong advo-
cate of good highways in Nassau County.
The problem If what TO do with the
great interior vacant section east OF
Floral Park is in process Of solution by
the policy Of bringing people back to the
land. and the circumstance is bound TO
make nearby residential communities more
attractive to live I'm. Hampstead and
Floral Park henceforth viii be especially
blessed i'm this respect.

The total amount Of mortgages under

Of CITY COUNCIL
SHORT SESSION OF MAYOR AND
COMM SSlONERS LAST NIGHT
BILLS ORDERED PAID.

The board Of city commissioners
met in regular session last night with
all members present.
After the reading OF the minutes
Of the last meeting, the bond of Ofi-
Ger Banks King was approved by the
board.
The mayor presented a protest
against the dairy of Mr.. Merritt 10
Gated west of the city lake, the drain =
age from which it is claimed enters
the lake and contaminates the city
water supply. The city physician and
the city attorney stated that the
question was wholly within the prov
ence Of the city TO handle and the
chief of police was instructed to no.
tify the owner OF the dairy that he
would have TO make some provisions
TO prevent this and report to the city
commissioners.
4 petition was presented by me-
chanics OF the city asking that the
occupation tax assessed against them
every year be annullei in the future
and an ordinance passed repeating
the present one on the statute books.
The matter was tabled in order to
give time for investigation.
The reports of the various heads OF
departments were read and received.
The regular monthly bills OF the
city were audited and ordered paid.
An adjournment was not taken las.
night as the mayor stated that he
desired to hold the meeting open for
further business that would arise
within the next day or two. and for
that reason recess was taken sub
ject TO his call
