neers that the Plumbing Code be
altered to permit the use of gal-vanized
steel pipe for water pur-poses.
Village Counscr'Samuel M.
Levy recommended that Instead of
making a change in this specific
item the Superintendent of Build-ings
be empowered to substitute
materials and equipment to be
used during the war emergency,
upon certain conditions, which he
outlined in a proposed ordinance
to this effect.
Mr. Levy announced that the
Legislature had enacted a law
which gives specific authority for
certain procedure which the vil-lage,
might provide to require the
submitted a proposed ordinance on
which the second hearing will be
held.
The ordinance would empower
^ the Village Board, when It deems
a building to be unsafe, to have
an inspection made by the su-yt
perlntendent of buildings, and
'j then notify the owner of the facts
^ contained in his report. In this
'^notice the owner would be given
^1 a time limit to raze the structure,
j^and also a statement that in the
^ event the order is not complied
an application for Its re-shall
be made at a special
^term of the Supreme Court.
Should the owner refuse to com-y
with the notice, the ordinance
further that a survey of
premises involved shall be

There was sad irony in the death of Gt\)rgc R. Gardiner, sun
of Airs. Olive 6. Gardiner, of 70 Harding place, over Hawaii,
probahly on Dec. 7. The telegram revealing the casualty received
on Feb. 25, merely reports him ''Missing fulluwing action/' but a
gold star in the service flag at the Gardiner home indicates all
hope for his return has been given up.
Gardiner, a radioman, first class®*
in tine United States Navy, had
been in the service 19 years, hav-ing
enlisted in 1923. He was as-signed
to the Pacific fleet imme-diately/
and" was "in Japanese wa-ters
at the time of the disastrous
earthquake In 1924. On instruc-tions
from the Navy Department in
Washington the crews of the va-rious
shijps In the area were as-signed
to rescue work.

17 years old. was in the contin-gent

and father late William M.
Gardiner, 26 years ago. As a lad
he was very delicate and before
locating in Freeport was a pupil
in one of the open air classes con-ducted
by the New York City Board
of Education. He continued in the
Columbus avenue school here un-tile
he was 16, and was a boy
soprano in the choir of the Cath-edral
of the Incarnation, Garden
City, until 'his voice changed and
he had to give up singing.
In the early days of radio, Young
Gardiner found a hobby to his
liking and soon the attic of the
Harding- place house, which &e
used as his workshop was filled
with crystal sets. On_.atlbaining the
age of 17, he at once enlisted as
a radioman in the Navy and one
of the ftrst ships to which he was
assigned was th.e cruiser Huron.

Four Nights Weekly
AH storps in Nassau County will
be closed four nights a week be-ginning
on June 1, if the mer-chants
of Hempjtend agree to the
plan in a referendum to be taken
during the week. This decision waa
reached Monday night at a meet-

Boards of Trade representing vari-ous
villages following supperTh A*
B. White's Tavern, when a resolu-tion
"introduced by Bernard Law-son,
president of- the Rockville

of Commerce of Nassau County for
the duration of the war instruct
merchants .to close at 6 p.m., be-ginning
June 1, four nights a
week, and all contribute to a fund
to advertise that fact in the local
papers."
A motion made by Harry Wolf,
of Hempstead, to provide for clos-ing
six nights a week was de-feated,
as the representatives q&
villages who had been rhatrucCe*
to agree to close four nights a
week contended they had" no au-thority
to vote for the alternate
