PROTEST AGAINST
LIGHTING SERVICE
Civic League Takes Up Matter
and Hears Complaint About
= New Street Work.
Bpectol to the EVENING NEWS


Tottenville, Nov. 22:-Protests
were made in regard to the poor
lighting of the streets and the COM
mercial service at the monthly meet
ing of the Tottenville Civic League
held last night at the Office of the
Richmond County Building & Mutual
Loan Association in Main street. A
complaint was also registered in re-
gard to the slow progress of the con-
tractors in finishing the streets in tho
Raritan Bay Park section of the
town, which work was started two
months ago and there are no signs
that 1t will be finished this year.
Charles A. Marshall was named a
committee of one to take up the mat
ter with the Richmond Light g. Rail-
road Company, that furnishes the
light for the entire island, and to re-
port back at the next meeting of the
league. The secretary was directed
to communicate with Borough Presi-
dent Van Name in reference to the
Raritan Bay Park streets and see
what can be done to hasten the work
on those thoroughfares before the
winter weather sets in. The streets
now in their present condition are
even worse than before the contrac-
tors began work, it is said by the
residents of that section. In case of
a fire it would be almost impossible
for the apparatus to get down any of
the streets in the state. they are in
at present. The lights in this section
of the island during the past several
months. it has been pointed out, are
worse than any time since complaint
was made before.
s Plans for the second annual ban
quet of the league were discussed
and President Gilbert 8. Barnes, who
presided at the meeting, named the
executive committee to take charge
of the affair. They will make all ar
rangements for the annual event.

NOVEMBER GRAND
JURY DISCHARGED
No Indictment Was Found
Against Doyle or Captain
Post in Garbage Fight.
Special to tho EVFNING NEWS.

Tottenville, Nov. 22:-The Novem-
Der grand jury completed it's work
Monday and was discharged when 1t
convened in the court room at st.
George where Justice Kelly is hear
ing equity cases during this week
without a jury. Several indictments
were handed in by the grand jury of
which Thomas Kieran was the fore
man.
The grand jury failed to find an
indictment against Edward P. Doyle
and Captain William Post, who on
May 81 foated an old barge on the
shore of Lake Island when the forn-
er attempted to gain possession of it
from the garbage contractors who
are trying to erect a garbage disposal
plant for the city of New York at
that place. Mr.. Doyle and Captain
Post were arrested at the time
charged with obstructing navigation.
They were arraigned before a city
magistrate who held them for the
grand jury. The case was held up
for some time and finally brought to
the attention of this grand jury with
against either of the men, because it
was proven that the barge was
beached and there was room enough
for the tug or any other like vessel
to pass in and out of Freshkill creek
where the proposed plant is to be
erected.
An indictment was found in the
case of Harry Boark and John Nazok,
of II Kreischer street, Kreischerville,
who were charged with assaulting
and robbing John Horneiski, of 54
Kreischer street, Kreischerville, the
latter part of October, while he was
on his way to his home.
Before the grand jury were dis
charged they recommended that
screens should be put up at all win
dows of the county jail to prevent
anyone from passing anything to
prisoners within the jail r'r.
