curing of money for the Our Boys in

Corporation has made a one-reel COM
edy picture entitled MY Lady Nico-
tone" This film features Miss Billy
Rhodes and arrangements have been
made to show this picture through
t~hirty-two branch exchanges OF the

these exchanges has been supplied
with subscription blanks and a series
OF patriotic posters advertising the
"our Boys in France Tobacco Fund
with which to furnish the various ex-
hibitors who will run MY Lady Nc
otine."

sible for supplying over 500, 900 kits OF
tobacco to our boys who are fighting
In France. The latest report from the
fund headquarters showed the total
sum of contributions to be 1927. S70.79.
IL Is expected that the moving picture
arrangements will be instrumental In
securing a large additional sum.
Following is a letter received from

GARBAGE MATTER OCCUPIES
STATEN ISLAND ATTENTION
Grand Jury VIII Remain I'm Session
All Summer to Investigate
the Matter.
81 SrecfoI Correseonfenf.

TOTTENVILLE, July 11:-The
grand jury that has been holding ses-
sions during the past two weeks since
the close of the supreme court when
they were given permission by Su-
preme Court Justio Kelby of Brook
lyn to continue in session all summer
to take UP the garbage plant investi-
cation is expected to take some def
mite action this week against the
plant. According to complaints made
to the grand jury of which e. Stew
art Taxter Is the foreman, Mayor Hy-
Ian had not lived up to his promise to
have the many scows of garbage TAX
en- from the docks of the plant in
Lakes Island and dumped at sea. AL
though it is known that a number Of
scows have been dumped at sea many
more have piled up since that time.
The grand jury visited the plant
the first part of h week and IL Is
expected to take some action before
the week Is over in regard to have
the nuisance abated. About three
weeks ago the members of the grand
jury visited Mayor Hylan and asked
him that he do away with the gar
bage nuisance. He was told at that
time that fifteen barges loaded with
garbage were tied up at the plant
n b a the odors were particularly
distressing to people in all parts OF
the island who are being made Ill by
the smell from the decayed garbage
that is allowed to remain there in the
scows. The mayor named a commit
tee at that time consisting of Corpora
ton Counsel Burr, Commissioner
MacStay of the street cleaning de-
partment and DR.. Krause, acting COM
missioner of the department of health
which visited the plant but no relief
has been obtained as yet.
Residents of G~reenridge, Rich
mond, Great Kills. Annadale and Eli
ingville are protesting heavily because
of the stencil coming from the plant
both day and night. This end of the
island only suffers when the wind is
blowing from the northeast while the
odors from the plant is spread over a
wide area on the north side OF the
island as far out as st. George. Towns
all along the New Jersey shore of the
Staten Island sound are affected by
the odors and complaints are being
sent to the plant every day and their
report is being filed in the depart
ment of health of what they see dur
ing their visit.
