Among Towns.
Nassau and Suffolk (k)untiea, com¬ prising «J>out two-third« of the area of Long Inland, are yearly becoming more valuable aRMcts of the state. Ag¬ ricultural counties throug^hout the commonwealth »how in most in¬ stances a diminution of population and a consequent depreciation in farm and property values. Not so in the island counties.
SoifTolk County is nearly one hun¬ dred miles lonj? by sixteen to twenty miles wide. Its direct transit contact with Manhattan has made its east¬ erly part an area of summer homes, while its westerly part is fa.st becom¬ ing an all-year residential section for commuting bu.siness men of the me¬ tropolis. Suffolk is now only semi- rural.
Potato, cauliflower and pickle farms abound in the central eastern part of the country; and these acre;, by the way, are the most valuable for farm- m^ purpo.sea of any in the atate.
The shore lines of the county are pre-empted for fine landed estates and summer homes, and the tendency now is toward estates capturinj^ the pic- tureque hill section in t.'ie middle of Suffolk County, where old Lon^ Isl¬ and families have rural holdinffs.
Nassau County is the smallest county in the state in area, and in proportion to its size the richest in earning power for the state. Ita northern half is primarily piven over to country estates, while its central and southern parts are the scenes of rapidlv increasirig all-year popula¬ tion. No other suburban territory close to Manhattan is at this time prowing as fast as Nassau County. Being immediately eait of the city line, it is receiving an influx of popu¬ lation as a result of proximity and and the fact' that Queens Borough is nuuking room for uriban improve¬ ments arid development.
Hitherto Queens has been suburban in character; but Nassau is tempting the prospective suburban home bu;^er who wants a detached dwellinjr with grounds. Queens cannot long afford to house this investing; element except in contracted spots. In other words, urban growth and improvement in Queens are aiding subarban fcrowth in Nassau, which is the logical over¬ flow area.
The suburban resident, ambitious for a home with acreage, as distin-
fuished from plottage, seeks western uffolk County as his goal. Amity¬ ville, Ba'bylon, Bay Shore, Great Riv¬ er, Islip and points as far east as Patchogue are abodes of commuters. That is to say, the subur^ban zone has been pushed easterly fifty-five miles on Long Island. A decade ago commuters to and from points east of Babylon, on the south shore, were scant in number. In the middle of Suffolk County, Brentwood and Ron-> konkoma are receiving suburban ac¬ cretions.
On the north shore the suburban •-!one h^s extended easterly to St. James ^"4^ Smithtown, whereas Northport used to be the furthest point. Smitli farms are augmenting in num'ber throughout this north side region.
Many taxpayers in Nasaau County witnessed increases in their property tax last year, and yet taxes in Nas¬ sau are only one-fourth of what they are in Queens Borough, which ad¬ joins it. There is no expensive gov ernment to maintain in Nassau, and the circumstance has much to do wit' attracting the small investor w! seeks to occupy a bungalow or cot

The townships of Hempstead and North Hempstead are nearer the city line than any other parts of Nassau C/ounty; arxl there are denser subur¬ ban improvements in those parts than elsewhere in the county, notably in Hempstead township. Increased as¬ sessed valuations on real estate in the latter township in li>17 totaled $1,220,78.5, which is considered to be normal. The total assessed valuation is |r>7,H87,842 in Hempstead township. The tax rate indicates an increa.se of 6 cents on every one hundred dol¬ lars.
North Hempstead township covers the northern part of Nassau County adjacent to the city line, embracing such suburban places as Great Neck, Manhasset, and Port Washington. The increas* in the town's tax rate is m 1;2 cents, while the tax rate in¬ crease in Oyster Bay township—an area mostly of country estates—is 21 1|2 cents on each hundred dollars. As.scssed valuation in the town of Oyster Hay jumped $1,727,7(;7 last year, and m.'iny thought that consid¬ erable "booslinji'" of values had taken place.
It was not hard to find the real rea¬ son, however. In c(|ualizing the state asst!s.'iniont in Nassau County for ap¬ portionment purposes approximately ^^92,000,000 was added to the county's tax, which now totals an assessed val¬ uation of $224,.'):58,790.
The county tax rate for Hemp¬ stead, as e(iualized, increased Ul cents; in Oyster Bay township it in¬ creased 41 cents, and in the town of North Hempstead 47 centa.
Grievance ,day for taxpayers in Nass'au County is the third Tuesday in June, when all property owners can discuss assessments with Boards of Assessors. The township of Hemp¬ stead has adhered to a budget system for the last two years.
The primary items of increase in Nassau County's budget are: Mosqui¬ to Exterminating Commission, $42,- 416.37; salaries, $61,471; Court Houae, $30,000; roads, $100,000; Child Welfare Board, $10,500; Coun¬ ty Superintendent of the Poor, $12,- 462.50; board of prisoners in penal institutions, $10,000, and county high¬ ways, $30,493.18. All estimates are compTitcd from reconunendations by heads of departments.
The communities in the township of Hempstead that have notably add¬ ed to the assessed valuation of Nas¬ sau Gounty are Floral Park, Free- port, Rockville Centre and Ljrnbrook.
Real estate in Suffolk County dur¬ ing 1917 witnessed the extraordinary increase in value of $10,000,000 as a result of the work of the State Equal¬ ization Commissioners. The assessors of the divers townships added only $2,000,000 to bhe assessment rolls.
All of Suffolk County's shore front is in strong demand, notably in its eastern part. Large country estates are being built yearly, and the cir¬ cumstance enhances the value and prospects of adjacent property. The total assessed valuation of real es¬ tate now is $103,152,831. That values are strong may be gathered from the fact that only a few years ago total assessed valuations in Suffolk Coun¬ ty were between fifty and sixty mil¬ lions.
More and more are rich men from various parts of the United States buying acreage in eastern Suffolk County and alon^ is north and south shores for improvement with costly country homes.
The townships of Suffolk County t abound in landed estates are
\ithampton, Brookhaven, Hunting-
n and Islip, and their assessed val¬ uations total, respectively, $15,233,- 560.31, $20,463,310.69, $14,364,822.35, and $21,829,479.20. Babylon and Southold townships each total more than $7,000,000 in assessed valua¬ tions.
Experts agree that there will be no further expansion of landed es¬ tates in Naasau County.
Mineola, the county seat of Nas¬ sau, has expanded its residential dia¬ trict northward along the line of the trolley road and adjacent to Jericho Turnpike. The village is becoming stronger as a trade and financial cen¬ tre. It is the point of radiation of trolley lines to all sections of Nassau County and to Queens County. There is a tendency for better types of all year homes to be built in Mineola.
\ matter of far reaching impor¬ tance to awners o^ shore front es¬ tates in irorthern Nassau C-ounty is the establishment of title to riparian ri>rhts in the townships of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay i^ptead of individual owners as was formerly the case. There has been extensive litigation in this regard during the laRt two years, all or which has been decided in favory'<xr the township.

BENNEn IN QUANDARY
May Ask Courts to Pass on Super¬ visor Dickson's Salary.
County Comptroller Bennett is in a quandary as to the amount of money that Supervisor Wanl Dickson of Glen Cove City should receive aa his salary as Supervisor. The Comptrol¬ ler delved into the Glen Cove City charter and discovered that Dickson is only entitled to a salary of $1,000, plus neceasary expenses from the city which he represents. The question now is whether Dickson should re¬ ceive any comftensation from the county. "The Supervisors from Hemp¬ stead, North Hempstead and Oyster Bay each receive $5,000 y.-arlv, $3,000 from the county and $2,000 from the Town that they represent. If Dick¬ son is entftlpd to any additional sal¬ ary from the county, his total salary would be $4,000 annually. The Comp¬ troller is holding up Dickson's Janu¬ ary salary until aome authority straightens the matter out.

At the meeting of the Town Board on Tuesday the members had before them blue print maps of the proposed Jamaica-Peconic Bay Inland Water¬ way Route, which will run along the southern border of many villages on the south side of the island. .Several routes were proposed in the maps submitted by the Commission appoint¬ ed to lay out the waterway, and the Board will give further considera¬ tion as to the most advisable course along town property for the canal. In the meantime the Board voted to give Supervisor Smith power to draft resolutions whereby the town will give its consent for the proposed wat¬ erway to go through town meadow lands, and for the government to de¬ posit material on the meadow land whon taken from the canal.
The Board received a communi¬ cation from the Board of Assessors recommending that a sum not to ex¬ ceed $100 a year be sot aside to pay for the rental of a map from tho firm of Smith and Malcolmson, of Free- port, the map to l)e used in assess¬ ing property in Freeport, and to show the buildings on each parcel, the owners and changes in property line. The matter was held for fur¬ ther consideration, pending an inquiry as to whether a draft of the map now used by the village of Freeport can be obtained for a lesser sum than that recommended.
The action of the Supervisor in em¬ ploying Counselor Alfred T. Davison in drafting an enabling^ act to pro¬ vide for the bond issue for the new Town Hall was approved.
The Board approved the appoint¬ ment by the Board of Assessors of Thomas Salkeld of Inwood as secre¬ tary to the Assessors, and of J. E. Patterson as chief clerk.
At an executive meeting of the Town Board on Monday the Board in- pected sixteem sets of plans submit¬ ted by architects for the proposed Tows Hall. At Tuesday's meeting it was announced that eleven of the six¬ teen plans had been discarded. On the evening of Fetoruary 18 the Board will meet again with the architects whose plans have not yet been put out of consideration and review the remaining plans. Those whose plans have survived the process of elimina¬ tion are: Stewart Wagner, 7 East 42nd street, Manhattan; Berlinger & Moscowitz, 527 Fifth avenue, Man¬ hattan; Van Viandern & Culver, New¬ ark, N. J.; William Adams, Law¬ rence; Baylis & Mink, Hempstead.

LIEUT. FREDERICK PENALIZED BY GOV.
Lieut Commander Ernest Fried- rick, well known in Baldwin, where he makes his home when ashore, who, in command of the gunboat Nashville, fWed upon an Italian submarine in the Mediterranean, was ordered re¬ duced thirty numbers by the Naval Court which tried him, it was learned Monday, and the sentence was ap¬ proved by Secretary Daniels despite the fact that the Italian Government officially interceded in behalf of the otticer and the Naval Court made a unanimous recommendation for clem¬ ency. One member of the submarine's crew was killed. The Govemment im¬ mediately expressed ita regrets to Italy
It was shown at the trial that when the Italian submarine emerged the Nashville broke out a signal which should have brought instant recogni¬ tion from a friendly warship. No re¬ ply being made, the Nashville opened fire, killing one man. The submarine commander then signalled hia identi¬ ty
Commander Friedrick explained at the trial th%t he acted under explicit instructions from the Navy Depart¬ ment.
An attache of the Italian Embassy in Washington called upon Secretary Daniels and expressed the hope of hia Government that no punishment would be meted out in the case. Mr. Daniels declined to interfere with the sentence of the court, however.
Mrs. Friedrick is the daughter of Charles H. Southard, of Bald¬ win, and their home is in Park ave¬ nue, a short distance from the South¬ ard home. They have one child.

The Freeport Branch feels in close touch with the very heart of our ac¬ tivities "over there" this week, as one of our valued workers has received the following letter from a hospital "somewhere in France" behind the firing line:
"My Dear Mrs. Davison: The Af¬ ghan arrived this morning in good condition. It is going to be so nice for the patients in Avheel chairs to put over their knees. It was such a lot of work, and we appreciate your sending it to us. Everyone is doing such a lot for the work over here, and it is all so acceptable. Surely 1918 w^ll bring us peace.
With best wishes and many thanks, Sincerely, (Mrs.) J. B. Christie, Matron. No. Pres. U. S. A.

GETTING AFTER DOGS
Complain to State Aathorities Stat¬ ing Dogs Are Unlicensed.
The Agricultural Department pf the state haa evidently received a omplaint from a Valley Stream res¬ ident regarding unlicensed doga in that village. In a letter received on Wednesday from the State Depart- , ment. Town Clerk Gilbert waa advis- ) ed as follows: !
"We are informed that a large i number of dogs in Valley Stream are i still unlicensed and have requested , the party there to give you the names of tne owners of auch doga as known to him. Under the law it is your duty to notify the Justice of the Peace of such partiea, and he in turn notifies the Cfonatable to seize and impound such dogs. I
"We are enclosing atamped envel¬ ope for reply, which pleaae aend in aa aoon aa action ia taken, otherwise it will be nacesaary to send a special officer to aee t ahthtP "eBatfiratN ofiker to see that ^ law U complied j with." I
The Town Clerk ia still wondering with the conatablt)! aa to where the
Siaed dog» «»a be impouoded aioc* > t«WB pound exist*.
On F'riday evening of Uut week the Freeport Unit of the State Home De¬ fense Reaervea met in Brooklyn Hall by order of Adjutant General Sher¬ ill for reorganization. Last year at the time the State Guard was form¬ ed to succeed the National Guard. Freeport had three companies of the Home Guard. Upon the formation o/ the State Guard, the Home Guard aa- tomatically became the State Home Defense Reserves. There seemed te be a mix-up at Albany as to the stand¬ ing of these reserves in the military life of the state, and as a result mem¬ bers became lax in interest, attend¬ ance at drills slacked. The faithful members who attended meetings held to discuss the situation, finally decid¬ ed lo endeavor to keep up the forma¬ tion of at least two companies, when it was found that a company of the State Guard was not likely to be formed here.
Then the question arose as to of¬ ficers. Captain Chase, of Company A, had resigned. This left Captain Hiil, of Company B, as senior officer, and also Captain Dunbar, of Company C, remaining as commanders. It was proposed to continue Companies B and C, and extend invitation to the members of Company A to affiliate with either company. This was un¬ satisfactory to A Company members, who wanted a vote as to who should continue to be officers.
Irrespective of any bickerings on the part of the members the com¬ missioned ofl[icers of all the companiea seemed more desirous of maintaining an organization here than anything else, though it should be but one com¬ pany. They therefore discussed it with Adjutant General Sherrill. He thought that at least one good com¬ pany should be continued in Free- port, or two companies with a mini¬ mum memhersfhip in any company of fifty-five members. Therefore the commiasioned officers of all three com¬ panies filed their reaignations with the Adjutant General in order to help out t^e situation.
He thereupon ordered a meeting: of all the Reserves, which waa held in Brooklyn Hall, last Friday evening, with Senior Captain Hill presiding, and Sergeant Albin N. Johnaon, of Company C, recording.
Captain Hill reported the confer¬ ence held with the Adjutant General, and in substance gave the final sug¬ gestion of that officer, as follows: "We want the men at Freeport to continue the Home Reserves. We want Home Reserve units where there is no State Guard organization. We hope you'll be able to continue a com¬ pany or two in Freeport. Your vil¬ lage has already expended $3500 for uniforms and eouipment. If you quit now, what will be the opinion of the residents as to your patriotism? You will feel ashamed, if you're unable to hold yourselves together. It's a dam poor soldier who quits in time of war.
"If the men want tg^ get out, they may, but no honorable 'discharge will be issued them, unless they have been in at least a year, or have moved from the locality, or some other good reason should exist. Other units have simply been mustered out and for¬ gotten. You have a pfood organiza¬ tion at Freeport, and equipped. You will not be called out for strike duty, only for riots in your own or nearby localities. Th* disciplinary efTect of your organization is most valuable to the community, state and nation. If your fail to continue your organi¬ zation your enemies will rejoice."
Captain Hill then stated that ev¬ ery man remaining in the organisa¬ tion would be provided with a com¬ plete uniform, night stick, revolver and ammunition. He then asked the commanding officer of each of the former companies to state how many men of their respective companies would remain with the Freeport unit, no matter how many companiea were formed. The report waa aa fol¬ lows: Company A, 19; Company B, 33; Company C, 38; total, 88.
Captain Hill then requested aU persons preaent who had decided not to remain membera of the unit to retire, which they ciid. He then an¬ nounced that officers for one com¬ pany would be elected, subject to the approval of the Adjutant General, and subsequently a second company might be formed.
Nominations for Captain were then called for. William F. Cornell nomi¬ nated Franklin G. Hill, formerly Captain of Company B. He waa elect¬ ed unanimously.
For First Lieutenant Village Pres¬ ident Sidney H. Swezey nominated William F. Cornell, formerly First Lieutenant of Company B. Iiamilton G. King* nominated Forreat S. Dun¬ bar, formerly Captain of Company C. The latter declined, atating that he thought Mr. Cornell could give more time to the duties of the omc* than he could fit present, and thst he waa willing to take a minor offlc* or be a private in the ranka. He then withdrew in favor o^ Mr. Cor¬ nell, whu w«a unaiiituoualy elected First Lieutenant.
For Second Lieuteant Hamilton G. King named Forreat S. Dunbar, S. Dimon Smith named Hilbert K. Jt^n- »on, and Charles B. Mack named Jas- TniawelL RA. Saul O. Curtice sni Leonard 8. Msbee were sppeiuted tsl- i
