''Piped Heated" ARain
We thoasht this "joker" was shelved, but here it is again from the Brooklyn Eagle:
"Business men along Kailroad Ave- ¦oeand through Main Street bave been discDssing tbe advisability of connect¬ ing a heating system between the municipal plant and the business sec¬ tion of the village, the object being to heat the stores and buildings here by a central heating plant at the power house. The system haa been tried out in Scranton witb success, and the gen¬ eral belief here is that the thing could be worked out just aa successfully in Freepoit.
This will eliminate the uae   of   coal for heating purposes in   the   Freeport business section.    An underground sys¬ tem would have   to   be   iiistalieil   con necting   with   each   building,    so   ar ranged   that   the heatinj;   process   for each, store or building can be managed hy Bteuiii guages in the various   huild ings.     The initial expenne to the   vil¬ lage will lie met within several years, it 1? i!iituied, by   the merchants.    The .ii-.-'r.-ij. (Ill coal    expense    to   the   r\;i'i . ::iii!.-i will not be   s^o   great.    I'l. .    '' r.innin   time   anJ   labor   wil iom.

citlcens of Long Island cannot be over I
estimated and  I feel that every efTort j ^
should be made to  increase  tbe  yield
and   insure   tbe  propogation   of   the
catch.    Our aection has   not  received
proper  consideration in the  past  atid
too little attention generally baa been
paid to   the  conditions   linder   which
sfaeltfisb thrive and now tbat the   sup¬ ply is being   threatened  by  unkncwn
causes, tbe Government should lend\ ^^
aasiatanee to ascertain the reasons for
the failure, for   thoae  direetly   inter
eated have neither the   means  or  the
facilitiea to make a scientific study of
the subject.    I have solicited and been
promised the support of all Congress* men coming from marine districts, and to strengthen my poaition wh>n I appear be.'ore the Fisheries Commit¬ tee, I ask tbat you write me a lettir expressing your views anl also thnt yo'i ask others who are interested to write me, in order that I may prjseit all ihe lettera and thus convince the Committee of the necea.iity of passing the measure.
The amount of the appropriation asked for has been made small in order to insure ilii passsge, but is sufficient in the opinion of the HureaN of Fish¬ eries to make a proper study of the •uhject.     I hi-ijie   you    will   give   the
