Town Board
.\ number of ajijilications for   marsh ¦ lands were received by the Town Board .Monday afternoon,    .-\mong thern   was i that of Chester A.   Smith,   who   a.sked for four acres of  marsh   land   for   the jiurjiose of jilanting oysters.    This was granted.    Other recjuests on the   same i order came from John J. Deubert, who ' wishes to lease land on the south bank ! of Great   Island,   at   Hungry   Harbor ;| Chester  A.   Smith,   at   Elder  Island; j Ferdinand C. Parsons, at   Long Creek, j and D.Wesley Pine, Daniel B. Raynor, William Smith and Jacob T.   Post,   on, what is known as  "The   Run."     The applications were all   referred  to  the Committee on Leases. ;
The matter of heating the Town Hall was brought up by Town Clerk Luther H. Weeks. P\ir some time the lack of proper heating facilities has been felt at the hall. .Mr. Weeks drew attention to this, and also the fact that frequently gas had to supjile- ment the regular apparatus. Sujier¬ visor Cox suggested that Mr. Weeks be authorized to inspect various kinds of heating apparatus with a view to.se- ecting one for the Town Hall. The need of a new plant will be felt with the coming winter in that the secord floor of the Town Hall has been con¬ verted i.itci oflice rcxims, to be used by the Highway Commissioners and other town officials.
Supervisc-ir Cox al.so brought up a matter which is troubling the Floral Park water district. Taxpayers of that village are complaining they are forced to pay water taxes when there I are no mains in the streets on which they own pt-operty. Investigation of ! the contract between the village and the company supplying it with water, show that while such conditions exist there ia apparently no means of redress or remedy.
