Old Man Astray

mStmn
With a stretch and a yawn, John E. Weland, 84 yeara old, an escaped in¬ mate from tbe Brunswick Home at Amityville, unfolded himself in front of Williams' Livery Stable on Main Street, Freeport^ Friday morning, looked up and down the street and then started away. He had spent part of the night in a hayloft after a jaunt from Amityville.
A deacription of Weland waa sent broadcast from the home and read to the officers of Freeport by Captain Dunbar, so when Officer Helland spied the old man at Newton Boulevard and Main Street he brought him to police headquarters.
A telephone to the Brunswick Home conflrmed the story of an all-night walk, partly through rain which the old man related to the officer shortly after his apprehension. Weland said i he was on his way to Warwick, Orange County, N. J., where he once lived and where employment was awaiting him.
Officer Helland took the man back to Amityville. '

The recent enlargement of tbe part of the Pennsylvania Station in Itfanhat- tan given over to the Long Island Rail¬ road's waiting room and ticket offices, shows suburban growth. It has been trebled in size and the station has been open Hess than one year. At this rate of increased traffic the waiting room will have to be enlarged again five years hence. The architecta who planned the great station, apparently failed to foresee the traffic demanda that would he made upon the Long Is¬ land section of the building. Many New Yorkers are seeking homes in Queens and beyond in Nassau County.
The growth and general progress of the latter county, in recent years, has exceeded all expectations. The gain in population in the central aection has been pronounced; the hill section, in the northern part, has been invaded by the seekers for large landed estates, and the south side of the county has been completely transformed in ap¬ pearance by the passing of farm lands into home colonies, especially at Lyn¬ brook, Roclcville Centre, Freeport and Valley Stream. In Rockville Centre, during the last year, practically ail of the iiome sites in the colonies devel¬ oped by the land companies have been sold.
Values have grown ialong the south side of Nassau County by reason of easy accessibility. At East Rockaway on the Long Beach division of the rail¬ road, for example, real estate values have gained greatly during the past year because of tbe electric service.

At the meeting of the Board of Sup¬ ervisors Monday Sigmund Horkimer, counsel for the New York and Suburb¬ an Land Company of Central Park, in the Town of Oyster Bay, appeared to have the assessments on the property of the company reduced.
At the last meeting of the board, two weeks ago, he appeared and made the assertion that the tax roll of the Town of Oyster Bay was illegal and void and he made the statement that at this meeting of the Board he would prove his charges. Horkimer was told by the Board that it had no jurisdic¬ tion to reduce the amount of taxes, that that was the province of the Board of Assessors in the town in which the property was located. It was added that the only occasion on which tbe Board of Supervisors acted was where there was a double assessment; then the Board would relieve the aggrieved party of one assessment.
Supervisor Cocks asked the lawyer if he were ready to proceed with his proof that the tax rolls of the Town of Oyster Bay were illegal, but Horki¬ mer declined to prove his contention on the ground that the Board would not afford him any relief, as it claimed it "Tiie   lawyer   for
