Application to buy from the Town
of Hempstead the mosquito-breeding
. lowlands to be added to more, than
60 acres of private property being
acquired was made to -the Town
Board this Tuesday. Twelve acres
of mudflats and eight acres of land
under water are also sought, but
no town-owned'"upland" Is involved.
Immediate con struction of a
$25,000,000 plant, after extensive'
filling in the marshes, Is proposed
Jjy the Lighting Company. An even-
'tuai increase in its investment to
$100,000,000 Is forecast. -Conversion
of the hitherto useless acreage of
"foxtails" and salt hay into the pro-duction
of substantial tax revenues
to all units of local government is
put forth to town officials as an in-centive
for the sale.
More Freight Seen
The LIRB's Long^ Beach Branch
which cuts across the island stands
to benefit greatly by increased
freight, according to James W. Car-penter,
vice-president of the light-
Ing company and president of the
Long Island Association.
Reserving decision on the appli-cation,
the Town Board passed a
resolution appointing three qualified
real estate experts to appraise- the
town property sought in. tjhe._.a/ppli?
....cation. The realtors: George Gray,
Preeport; James Heaney, (RockvIUe
Centre; and Gabriel DeCosterd, Val-ley
Stream, will report to the Board
their individual opinions as to true
values.
The Town Board informed Light
Company applicants that in addi-tion
to the cost of the appraisals,
the company would have to pay for
the referendum, should there be one
a t tne polls next November 4th.
Voting would be restricted to prop-erty
owners and would necessitate
the employment of additional clerks
in the Town of Hempstead's 320
election districts.
The application to the Board
stresses that "although Hempstead
is the heart of the demand for elec-tric
energy," there are now no gen-erating
facilities In the town. Hemp-stead's
