needs be mentioned that Miss Fannie
Durack has lost her sprnting speed.
although reputed nearly as fast as ever
over the longer courses, and that Miss
Wylle is recognized at present as Aus
trallas greatest hundred-y -yarder. 1t is
easy to figure, under the circum-
stances, how American girl sprintcrs
compare with their overseas rivals.
The recent death of George Frceth,
former coach at the Los Angeles A. c..
deprived swimming of one of it's ablest
and most enthusiastic promoters. A

BILL TO IMPROVE
WATERWAY PASSED
Legislature Provides Means
for Widening Newtown

Among the last acts OF the Teais.
lature was the passage of the bill intro.
duced by Senator Peter ]. McGarry o,
Queens giving the Board of Estimate the
power TO proceed with the plans for
the Strengthening and widening Of New
town Creek. According TO this bill
which was similar in its provisions 10
the bill for the Strengthening AMI
widening of Flushing Creek, the Bor
ough President OF Queens Ia authorized
TO mako the necessary maps for the
improvement, after which they arc 10
be submitted TO tho Board of Estimate
for approval. The corporation counsel
Is then authorized TO acquire the necns
sary land, either By condemnation or
cession.
Governor Smith indicated TO ths
officials OF the city that he will eiye
the measure his approval. and as A
result Borough President Connolly. by
orders which he gave to the topograph-
icsl bureau. has already started the
work. Confere noes are to be held with
owners along the creek, with officials OF
the Borough of Brooklyn. as some Of
the land to be taken will be in that
borough. with officials OF the Dock De
partment and with engineers OF tho
United States War Department, because
the plans will have to be finally ap-
proved by the United States Govern
ment owing TO the fact that a large
part of the cost of the improvement is
to be paid for by the national appropria-
tons.
The purpose OF tho undertaking is 70
obtain a wider and deeper channel 10
facilitate the great commerce of New
town Creek, which carries merchandise
valued at quarter OF a billion dollars
annually, which Is greater than the
total value of all the manufactured
products of either Kansas City, Mime

than the value OF exports from Boston

The houses will range IN prices from

Work is now rapidly progressing to-
ward the opening OF a new section of
Kew Gardens. as over half the property
remaining available in Kew Gardens
for marketing this spring has been In
Volved in these sales.
Recent sales OF houses already erected
have resulted in the further disposal OF
almost 100000 OF property. Over a
million dollars is thus involved in tho
