BOULEVARD TO
Be EXTENDED
Local Board Passed Petition
for thoroughfare; Sidewalks
in Amboy Road.
BIZ Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, March 1.-THE
extension of Southfield boulevard In
both directions to make a broad and
straight thoroughfare from Totem
Vile to st. George and the laying Of
sidewalks in Amboy road for It's en-
tire length were the principal matters
taken up at the meeting of the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment last
night at Borough hall. Borough Pres
.ident Van Name was in the chair and
Aldermen O'Rourke, Walsh and At
well together with Commissioner of
Public Works John e. Bowe and
Borough Engineer Oxholm were pres
emit.
The petition for the boulevard was
taken up first by the board. Stuart
J.. Ritz, president of the Totterville
Branch Of the Staten Island Civic
League, representing the fifth ward,
spoke on the need and importance oil
the boulevard to Staten Island and
to the city of New York. He argued
that the thoroughfare should be ex-
tended and hat it should not be paid
for by direct assessment.
After much discussion from various
ones appearing for the extension, 1t
was decided that the boulevard should
be extended and hat the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment be petit
toned to have the work done and
paid for by the city. Borough Presi-
dent Van Name said that he would
do all in his power to have the board
of estimate take up the proposition
at once.
The sidewalk petition came next
and Alderman O'Rourke representing
the fourth ward made a motion that
as far as his petitioners We're concern
ed he moved that 1t be denied. Cor
nelius Kolff. a prominent real estate
man, spoke In favor of the petition
and David J.. Tyson, who owns much
property along Amboy road in the
fourth ward opposed the resolution on
the grounds of the enormous cost to
him If the resolution should pass. The
petition for the fourth ward was
then denied by the board.
Alderman Atwell representing the
fifth ward then offered a resolution
to lay sidewalks in Amboy road, Tot
tenville from Bentley street to Page
avenue, where the same is not laid.
This was passed and the rest OF the
petition was laid over for two months.
AT the end of this time 1t is expected
that the rest of Anlboy road In the
fifth ward will be taken up and pass
ed.
Residents of Pleasant Plains and
prince Bay some time ago had a Pc
tition before the local board for the
improvement and it is no doubt that
it will be passed. d. w. Hutaf. of
Richmond Valley presented photo-
graphs to the board that had been
taken during the past several weeks
showing the condition of Amooy ROAD
at that place, where people could not
walk In the street because of h
heavy drifts of snow combined with
sce on the street. William r. Porter,
of Pleasant Plains. was at the meet
ing in favor of both propositions.

State Hail Insurance

The law makes it the duty of the
assessor at the time Of listing prop
] elty for assessment, to return the
number of acres in crop, or to be
sown in 1920 the same as in 1919.
The assessor shall also specify the
number Of acres sown or to be sown
or planted Of each kind of grain
separately, as, wheat, oats, barley,
etc. THIS list is returned to the
County Auditor and should show
the name of the owner OF the land
and also the name of the cropper
or Tenant. IL any. with the ad-
dress and share of each also date of
lease, and in case such land is not
withdrawn from the benefits Of the
hail insurance before June lst l9. 0
| by filling such withdrawal with the
County Auditor either in person or
by registered mail. such crops will
be insured against hail for the crop
year 1920, and the land will be
taxed to pay for such insurance.
Ii the owner of the land is the sole
owner of the crop he can wi hdraw.
If the land is leased for cash rent
and the renter is the sole owner of
the crop he can withdraw. If the
land is rented on shares, neither
the owner or renter can withdraw
his share and if bpth withdraw, no
tax will rest against the land for
insurance. But if only one with
draws his share, a tax will rest
against the. land for the part not
withdrawn However if the rent

| does not withdraw his crops from
the benefits Of the hail insurance
the owner Of the land holds a lien
against all of his share Of the crops
grown on such lands for whatever
the tax may be charged against
such and for such share Of crops.
Be careful in your withdrawal
that they cover all Of the land list
ed for crops to prevent having
small portions not withdrawn
which will go on the books for tax
collections. You have up to June

withdraw or not and if you do not
withdraw by that time the tax will
60 on the books and be charged
aginst the land at the rate Of 35
cents per acre on the number Of

carefully and then govern your
selves accordingly. Withdrawals

Monument Moved to Court House

The memorial statue which for
the past-years has stood a silent
watch over Main Street. has been
removed. By popular vote Of the
business men and citizens, the
matter was presented to the city
council and the county commission
ners who authorized its removal.
The work was let to the Hunter
Granite works ard the cost to the
county will be S425.
The monument was subscribed
for and dedicated to the memory
Of the boys of the Civil War.
Some time ago the G. A. 4. post
voted to present it to the county
a nd this was done. 1t was placed
at the intersection of Third Avenue
on Main street, very prominent
place but an obstruction for a
good view of the court house.
This fact, together with the possi-
bility of a serious accident, in
which the city would be held re-
sponsible, was instrumental in
causing its removal to the court
house grounds.

east side Of the grounds. leaving a
space on the west side for similar
memorial to be erected. The pop
