Supervisor Smith will attempt to have these recommendations carried into effect. When the Supervisor as¬ sumed the duties of the office he was of the opinion that the business of the town was being conducted in a slipshod manner, and when the Nassau County Association offered him the services of the accountant he immediately availed himself of the offer. In addition to the work of the accountant the asso¬ ciation will assist the Supervisor to modernize the syatem for handling the county work. In the future those em¬ ployed on the roads of Hempstead Town will be employed with a view to efficiency rather than a reward for political services.—Brooklyn Eagle.
