Want Waterways
Dredged
Enthusiastic   Meeting    Before   Town
Board Cnmmittee To Discuss
the Question.
Fraternity Hall, Freeport, was well filled at the meeting Wednesday after¬ noon, called by the committee from the Town Board, to consider the prop¬ osition of opening the Town water¬ ways ao that it would be possible to get to Point Lookout from the various villages along the South Side during the coming summer season. A couple of weeks ago the Great South Bay Ferry Co., thr:>ugh its secretary, Rol¬ and M. Lamb, applied to the Town Board and asked them to see if some¬ thing could be done to open these Town waterways, particularly the channels connecting with Point Lookout. They stated thht they had already dug such channels themselves once at un ex¬ pense of about $1600, and would not do this again, as they were not mak¬ ing money on their boats to the beach, and it would be better for them to close down entirely than go to such an " I expense again.

Contest for
Official Designation
Rockville Centre, L. I., Jan. 26— The fight is on in the Supreme Court between The Owl of Rockville Centre, and the Nasaau County Review, of Freeport, for designation as the offi¬ cial paper for printing the session laws and current resolutions of the Board of Snper\^i8ora.
It waa generally thought that last year, the Court of Appeals definitely settled the status of the Progressives, as to their right to the appointment when Lucien L. Bonheur, the Pro¬ gressive Count}! Cbairman, brought a mandamus to compel the appointment of the Progressive organ, as oflficial paper under section twenty of the County law. The mandamus was ord ered issued by Supreme Court Justice Isaac M. Kapper, and the matter was then appealed to tne Appellate Divi¬ sion bv the Republicans and finally to the Court of Appeals, but the decision of Judge Kapper was sustained, that the Progressives were entitled to the appointment by reason of having polled the aecond highest vote in the county, according to the vote for Governor at the State election, and now the whole que^ion comes up again because the Progressives were third last fall.
On January 5, there was filed with the Secretary of State at Albany, by tbe clerk of the Board of Supervisors, the designation of The Owl, of Rock¬ ville Centre, Progressive; the North Hempstead Record, of Great Neck Sta¬ tion, Democrat: and Supervisor Hiram R. Smith, of the Town of Hempstead, filed a designation with George Goodale, the clerk of the Board of Supervisors for the Nassau County Review.
The clerk, thereupon refused to tor- ward said designation to the Secretary of State. Application was made on behalf of the Review to Supreme Court Justice Maddox for an order to Clerk George M. Goodale, directing him to show cause why a mandamus should not issue compelling him to file the designation of the Nassau County tie- view.
The matter came up before Judge Maddox on Friday at Mineola, and was adjourned until Monday, and today was adjourned until Friday.
When the matter was called in court this morning, ex-Judge Elvin N. Ed- wai;ds, of Edwards & Levy, attorneys for The Owl, made an application for permission to intervene as a party de¬ fendant, and applied for ap adjourn¬ ment on the ground that his papers were not prepared for argument.
There is considerable at stake in the matter for the newspapers, as a tax sale is to be held next month, whicb means piany thousands of dollars to the successful paper.—Times.

Rev. Mr. Carrington Closes Pastorate!
The congregation of the Church ofj the Transfiguration held a reception to i Rev. and Mrs. A. W. E. Carrington,-] at Brooklyn Hall, Tuesday evening, j On that occasion the departing clergy¬ man and his wife were given a fare-1 well greeting, and on the following | day left for Brooklyn to take up their work in the Church of tbe Incarnation. |
When Rector Carringtoh came to j Freeport Transfiguration pariah was a j mission, but after being here two I years he raised it to a separate parish
the south side of the town, ^nd some¬ thing must be done at once, as the channel was not navigable now, at low water, hy boats drawing over 18 inches of water, and even at that the channel was very narrow. This concerns the villages of Freeport, Baldwin, Rock- East Rockaway. and many of the people who live in these sections use tbat channel as the only way of getting to the beach, and their livelihood depends upon their ability to reach various sections of the bay, which could only be done through this channel.
One of the most important attrac¬ tions of Long Island is its waterways, which the recent storms have practi¬ cally closed up in this section, and un¬ less something is done immediately it will prove a very material detriment to the Town of Hempstead.
It seemed to Mr. Fishel that to the extent that the Town of Hempstead had authority to spend money on its higtiwaya it should be authorized to spend money on its waterways, which were equally important. "The Town owns over 10,000   acres of land   along

Railroad Improvements
The Pennsylvania Kailroad will, on February 1, open a new freight station in New York, at Pier 22, East River. This station will be used only for re¬ ceipt of package freight, in carload and less than carload lots, destined to points outside of New York City.
As the Pennsylvania's freight sta¬ tion facilities heretofore have been confined entirely to the North side of Manhattan Island, it has been neces¬ sary for East Side shippers to haul tbeir freight across town to the North River stations. The design of tbe Company in opening tbis new freight atation ia to make its facilities more accessible.
congregations that has ever attended services in the church, the rector de¬ livered his^. farewell aermon Sunday evening.
The preacher did not refer at any great length to hia going, except to remind them that his memory and prayers will always be theirs. He de¬ clared it was not his intention to make any review of the work done. His ministerial activities in Freeport have all been accomplished with the very beat co-operation, he said, of a kind and devoted people—kind to the clergy and devoted to God. There is no par¬ ticular statement made by him at any time that he would ask his beloved brethren to remember, but if their minds would revert to him and his work here let it be the underlying spirit of everything good that is re¬ membered.
Rev. John Robert Moses, dean of the Protestant Episcopal Church on Long laland, apoke at the morning aervice. Dean Moses was the officiat¬ ing cleryman when the Church of the Transfiguration was promoted from a mission attached to the Church of the Incarnation at Garden City to an inde¬ pendent church, last yeaj*.
RESOLUTIONS PRESENTED.
The following resolntions, adopted by the Vestry of the church, have been presented to Mr. Carrington :
Whereas, Our Rector, Rev. A. W. E. Carrington, bas received a call from the Church of the Incarnation of Brooklyn, N. Y., and for   the  purpose
ally improved if the channels were dug^ in a proper manner and the land along the same improved. If the Town Board did not have authority to spend the money then the committee should recommend that necessary legislation be immediately procured to allow the Town to take care of its waterways^
Judge Raisig asked Mr. Fishel what hi^%hought the expense of clearing the channel at the present time would be, and Mr. Fishel aaid that he thought it wonld be about $1200, but this would be only a temporary clearing.
Judge Raisig aaid that the Town spent about $40,000 for maintaining its highways outside of incorporated villages, and there should be, if there was not, some law to allow the Town to spend money for taking care of its waterways equally well.
William H. Pateraon said tbe mat¬ ter was of intereat to the whole south side, taking in all the villages, and un¬ less something was done we woold practically be shut oot from our beach¬ es. The Town certainly should spend the money, as soon as possible. The suggestion was made that t^e water¬ way to the west of the Hempstead Bay Yacht Clob be opened up instead of the one to the east, which seemed to meet with the approval of the citizens present.
In answer to questions as to tbe lia^ bility of Senator Reynolds and the First Construction Co., wbich had bought from tbe Town the property at Long Beach, and roost of Point   Look-
of accepting the aame, has tendered i out. Judge Raisig said thai Mr. Rey- bis resignation as Rector of the Church | nolds, at a meeting with the Town of the Transfiguration of Freeport, I Board last May stated that his dredges N- Y.. I were busy and it seemed to him  much
