Josi |ili Kailey, of Patchogue, one of the originators and untiring workers tor this undertaking, haa spent much time in pointing out th" great need of this canal. Congresaman W. W. Cocks secured the act by Congress on March 2,   1907,   directing the Board of Arrny
consummated through the agency of I. Mayer. The latter part of last week Mr, MH\er sold to Sheriff Pettit the corner property of Lyon Smith, famil iarly culled Fulton's corner, on West Merrick Road, the consideration being $19,000.
On Monday, Mr. Mayer, agent, also negotiated the   following   local   sales:
Commercial Hotel.formerly Manhat¬ tan House, oppoaite post olfice, proper¬ ty of Phineas A. Seaman, to Charles Johnsen, wht^had been the tenant of the property for several months past; consideration, $30,000.
For Benson Smith to William G. Miller, 517 feet of lots fronting on Whaley Street in the Bayview section; consideration, $10,340.
For William G. Miller' to Benson Smith, 37 feet frontage on South Main S treet, south of and adjoining the Commercial Hotel, with buildings thereon in which are now located Weldon & Smith's officeB and a shoe repairing shop; consideration, $12,250.
Thus the total of Mr. Mayer's sales in the village within a week is $71,- BOO.—Observer.

unil surveys. The Long Island Water Association and the Waterways League of I.ong Island were both formed for the [lurpose of carrying through this great project and every residence of Long Island was directly interested.
The Hempstead Town Board hns received a letter from Col. Roeasler which in part stated: "All interested parties have the privilege of an appeal to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, to which all examin¬ ations and survey reports are re¬ ferred. Parties may be heard on ap¬ peal by the Board, either orally or in writing. Written communications should be addressed to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, Southern Building, corner Fifteenth and H Streets, Washington, in titne to be in the possession of the said Board within three weeks from the date of this commanication. If oral hearings are desired, dates may be arranged for."
The reasons for an unfavorable re¬ port are brief:
The cost would be out of reasonable proportion to the real commerce to be benefitted; the actual benefits would be of a local rather tban a national character.—Tinies.

At the stated Spring meeting of the Nassau Presbytery with the Newtown : I'resbyterian Church on laat Tuesday, ' Hev. J. Sidney Gould, pastor-elect of I the First Presbyterian Church of P'ree- j nort, was duly received into the Pres j bytery upon credentials from the tien-1 tral Coi.gregational Association ofj Kansas. i
The call to Mr. Gould extended by i the church a few weeks ago was re¬ viewed by the Presbytery, found to be in order and waa formally presented to him. He accepted. The fact that Mr. Gould is not expected to give his full time to the work of the parish, but has exempted for bis own personal use Mondays. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and all of Thursdays except the even¬ ing occasioned an animated discussion. The vote finally prevailed, however, with but two dissenting voices.
