I\aiid:ill did not have the siuiie rigbts as uny one else to get a reliute on his sidewalks, but as a matter of fact a perusal of the Village Treasur¬ er's report for the (iust yeara during which reliates have been given, will, I think, without exception show tlmt .Mr. Kandail hus never leeeiveil a re¬ bate on tli<; thu.isands of .--(piare feet of sidewalk Ihat he has laid in the \il- lai;e uf Freeport.

He founded St. Paul's Church, Kenton, Ohio, where he re¬ mained for seven yeara.
After a few months spent partly in Cleveland, Ohio, and partly in Maus- ton, Wisconsin, and flnding the climate too severe, he came to Long laland, and in 1906^WBa made priest in charge of St. Michael and All Angela'Church, Seaford. His faithful and untiring work there, in spite of continued ill health resulted in impro»ement in ev¬ ery way : numbers of unbaptized per¬ sons were brought to receive the Sac¬ raments. He was respected and be¬ loved by all who knew him.
