With the departure of the sultans went the tax on the peasants which took one-tenth of their profits.

 At Greennort. Huntington, Oyster Bay, Blue Point and other villages, some of the heaps already have at- tained mountain size. The old theory that the work of a carpenter can be determined by the number of his chips finds confirmation among the oyster fishermen.
