ter could be better adjusted if more game for several weeks time were taken.! Mr. Smith said he had many friends in the district whom he respected for their good bill snd opinion, but he wanted them to under stand that he was doing what he be¬ lieved to be right, and for their best interest, and he asked to be recorded as voting no on the proposition for the reasons given.
Justice Raisig said that he favored the smaller districts, but the majority should rule, and he would accordingly vote in the affirmative.
Justice Gittens said he was with the people of the district and favored giv¬ ing them what they wanted, and he thought that they had shown that they wanted gas for lighting in preference to electricity which is provided for in the contract for the amaller district.
Supervisor Smith accordingly de¬ clared the resolution carried favoring the South Side Lighting District. He exprest his belief that the people, how¬ ever, would regret the establishing of such a large district, and predicted that those who were criticizing him would admit that they had made'a mistake in not giving the matter more consideration. He said, however, that he would give the matter of the con¬ tract for lighting careful attention, and would see that the people se¬ cured the best possible contract that could be obtained.

Messrs. Frederick C. Hicks, WiUiam H. Roea and Frederick Boyd Steven¬ son, dt the Central Boulevard Commit¬ teea, faave recently iasued tfae follow¬ ing statement relative to the present status of the propoaition:
"The delay in the action for tfae paaaage of a bill in the State Legla¬ lature for the construction of the Long Island Central Boulevard, from Mon¬ tauk Point to Brooklyn, haa been the resalt of unforeaeen and unavoidable eventa.
"To begin with Govemor Sulzer ia holding up $66,000,000 of funds appro¬ priated for the construction and main¬ tenance of highways in tfae State of New York, pending an investigation of tfae State highway system under the former administration of a Highway. Superintendent. Charges are made that many of the contracts for roads are irregular and, under these circum¬ stances, no new contracts were made and no new road bills were passed.
"The Governor is thoroughly in aym¬ pathy with thi^ movement dn Long Island, .but his advice waa that the matter best, so far as the Legislature is concemed, till the session next year. "But in the meantime it is advisa¬ ble that the interest in the boulevard be maintained The present plans may have to be changed somewhat. Fot instance, it may be advisable to lessen the proposed width of the highway to 100 feet. This would lesson the ex¬ pense of construction considerably. This suggestion was made by the High¬ way Department officials who think that with this change the road will stand a good chance of becoming a fact. It has been also suggested that in certain secHons existing roads may be utilized. If tfae counties will de¬ fray the expense of making surveys, which some of the towns have already done, the State Department of High¬ ways is willing to have its own sur¬ veyors make the surveys and . put the road on a State map.
"Several trips have been made to Albany by the chairman of the Long Island Boulevard Legislative Commit¬ tee in the interest of the road, and no efforts have been left undone to jush the project through. The tangled con¬ dition of the State Highway Depart¬ ment and the discord in the Legislat¬ ure have, however, operated as effect¬ ual handicaps to all highway constrac¬ tion and other constractive work in the State.
"The various workers in the coun¬ ties of Long Island feel that there ia every encouragement to continue the work. A great boulevard costing from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, cannot be put through in a few months. It will take more earnest work and agitation, and the committee is convinced that with the proper effort the Long Island Boulevard will be a Reality.
