AROUND THE TOWN
(B. T. B. C.)
When I passed the comer of Smith Street and Long Beach Avenue and saw that bunch of men who were busy tearing down ihe brush that has ob¬ structed that comer for years, I was rather elated that one of my first items in that column miffht have had such good effect, but upon inquiry I find that Harry Van Riper has bought the corner and is to build houses there, and that is the reason, rather than any comment of mine, for the corner being cleared. Never mind, so long as the result is the same, and further auto accidents will be obviat¬ ed at this comer, which was a good place for picking up several news items during a summer seasc^i.
voj-ageIirustees
At the regular meeting of the Vil¬ lage Board Wednesday afternoon it was decided to place a lamp on Be¬ dell Street, between Smith and Ray¬ nor Streets.
Communications were received from the War Camp Community Service thanking the Board for its interest in the work during the time the Club House had been open, for the past two years; and from William H. Pat- . terson. Commander of the G. A. R. for the interest the Board had shown in the Welcome Home Day event, and their courtesy to the Po.st.
Increases in salary were granted to C. O. Niles and H. K. Rider, %o per month, and Street Commissioner M. F. Bond, $10.
Applications for sidewalks were granted to William J. Schumacher, Pine Street, and H. E. VanRiper, At¬ lantic and -©cean Avenues. Applica¬ tions for water service were granted to G.  Patterson.
On request of Clarence A. Edwards, representative, it was decided to transfer the boiler infection and in¬ surance from the Hartford Company, in which it had been carried ever since the municipal plant was estab¬ lished, to the Travelers Company, which Mr. Edwards represented. A special representative of the latter company claims that their policy was more liberal than that of the Hart¬ ford Company.
