L. l.. will be sold by Joseph P. Day. Inc.
on Saturday and the succeeding days.
including Labor Day. The sale Will be
held under a large tent on Part street
near the Long Island Railroad station.
Since building restrictions were lifted
from Long Beach and that RAPIDLY
growing community became city. more
than 1000 buildings have been erected
there. Construction has gone ahead at
such a pace that the gas and telephone
companies were unable to keep up with
1t. The Long Island Railroad has been
obliged to lay five additional tracks at
the Long Beach Terminal. miles of new
streets have been laid out and facili-
ties for using water. gas and -lec-
tricity have been augmented.
Recognizing the demand for cheaper
transportation. the Long Island Railroad
has agreed to sell tickets to Long Beach
1Ht reduction of 40 per cent. 1t has
also agreed to continue the summer train
schedule during the winter and at least
to double the schedule next summer.
THE whole trouble is that you and
others are building faster than gas,
water and telephone can follow" was
stated in letter written on August 7
by the local commercial manager Of
the New York Telephone Company at
Freeport In reply TO an inquiry that he
had received in regard to the installation
of a telephone at Long Beach.
No Longer Highly Restricted.
Long Beach is no longer the highly
restricted village OF the fourteen years
that ended when the State OF New York
granted It a city charter Long Beacn is
city in the making, and in the MAX
ing of a great city population is the
most important factor. The next most
important factor Is the competition of
tradesmen. who until they are forced to
compete with one another, sell their
commodities at such prices as they see
fit. with the result that population is
shut out instead of being brought in. but
with those factors in community life
competing prices are placed on a COM
petitive basis.
Since the late restrictions were lifted
at Long Beach and the State granted a
city charter to the former village more
than 1000 buildings have been erected
there. The result OF that building ac-
tivity is reflected In the widening OF
the roads for miles outside of Long
Beach, made necessary by the aug
mented vehicular traffic new six inch
