William H, Seaman, of Glen Cove, County Superintendent of Highways of Nassaa Oounty, was removed by tb6 Board of Supervisors on Saturday, and William H. Bow,ne, of Glen Oove, ap¬ pointed in hia piaoe. The deciaion of the Board t-o remove Seaman, which was reached at a special meeting Satur¬ day, occasioned no surprise amoug the County Superintendent's friends, as it was believed sach action wonld be taken. It is stated on good authority that Mr. Seaman will, throngh his attorney, Lawyer John J. Uraham, oarry the mat¬ ter into the o<')artB and seek to hare the decision nf rhe Snpervisors set asid^
It is alleged Rgaiiist Seaman that he charged for work performed on high¬ ways in North Hempetead township which should have bt'en done for the salary he received as Connty Superin¬ tendent. The amoant involved is about fOOO. The claim was made that Sea¬ man was retained by the town Superin¬ tendent of Highway^* as a civil engineer, and therefore he was not required to In¬ clude his services under his aalary as County Saperintendent. A hearing was given on the clianres several weeks ago and deciaion reserved. In the meantime the Supervisors asked an opinion from State Attorney General Oarmody to the effect that Seaman liad no right to make the charges, and in fact could have re¬ fused to perform the work.
