Dr. Prank Overton, in his capac¬ ity as State Sanitary Inspector, has almost completed a report covering the progress in the flrst six months since tbe State compelled tbe dairy¬ men to label the grade of their milk. Tbe rigid Inspection of the State health offliers has forced some of the small dealers, who were selling milk of an inferior grade, to close their routes, but for the most part these have improved stable and milking conditions sufliciently to raise their milk from grade Cto B.
One of the moet noticeable evi¬ dences of tbe manner In which the farmers are seeking to better dairy conditions comes from the Agricul¬ tural School at F'armingdale. Pro¬ fessor John Michels has been a graat help to the farmers by encouraging thera to build silos for fresh fodder, •   such as green cornstalks.
No increase has been observed, but the health offlcers report that a bet¬ ter grade of cow is being developed. Tbe health offlcers look for an in¬ crease in the number of the beeves In the next year, as the proportion '.» ot animals to population is slightly small. This necssitates the impor¬ tation of considerable milk in Nas¬ sau County.
Dr. Overton states that only 1 per cent, of those selling milk before the law became effective have been com¬ pelled to close down because of the continued low grade of their milk. The majority have Improved their dairies, and the average price of milk is still the same. Most of the dairy¬ men are enthusiastic for the law, as It is creating confidence aniong their I>atrons.
SAISB ASSESSMENTS
IN OYSTEB BAY ASSESSOBS IN¬ CBEASE VALUES NEARLY $13,000,000.
To fulfill its part in the eQualiza- lion of assessments for the three towns of Hempstead, North Hemp¬ stead and Oyst^ Bay, in Nassau county, this year, the board of as¬ sessors of Oyster Bay has increased the aggregate assessments here from 117,000,000 to $30,000,000. A sim¬ ilar increase has been made in the town of North Hempstead hy the as¬ sessors In that town.
The village and lot property in the town, representing about one-fourth of the total, has been assessed on a basis approaching "lO per cent, of the market value, which is equal to the assessment on the 'property of Hemp¬ stead.
i (By Special Corrtspondenl.l
I The automobile and trolley car have combined to cause a transfor¬ mation of reai estate conditions In suburban Long Island. Because of Increased accessibility the southern half of reasonably taxed Nassau County is a home centre instead of a rural area. The homes of baymen and natives along the shore have been superseded hy villa colonies. In¬ creased real estate values have fol¬ lowed. The touch of modern trans¬ portation is having a similar effect upon community conditions at Bald¬ win harbor. Immediately to. the west of Freeport.
The possihilites for growth were too apparent for the shore front to remain long in a primitive state. As a result 7.50 acres of water front and adjacent area at Baldwin harbor, well within the commuting zone, are being built up into an all year bunga¬ low colony. When the water im¬ provements at Baldwin harbor are finished there will be numerous chan¬ nels, with one connecting directly with the surveyed route of the federal inland waterway through the centre of Hempstead bay.
This Is an enterprise of private un¬ dertaking at Baldwin harbor, and its completion means seven miles of deep water, a total dredging of 2,- .'•00,000 cubic yards, together with the reclamation of meadow land, where only shallow and devious creeks have been.
The growth of the summer and all year bungalow colony at Baldwin harhor has been one of the features of the more recent development of the south shore.

N,^ The necessity of providing addi¬ tional school facilities for the chil¬ dren of the Roosevelt School District was discussed earnestly on July 16th by about fifty taxpayers in the school auditorium. The meeting was an-ad¬ journed session of a special election called for July 1, to vote upon an ap¬ propriation to raise $35,000 for a new school house.
The children of the eastern part are obliged to walk long distances to school, many of them almost two miles. The suggestion was made a year ago that this part of the dis¬ trict should have a branch school or be severed from the Roosevelt School District  entirely.
When the meeting was called lasl night by the Rev. Hugo Poblmann, president of the Iioard of Education, this was the flrst subject introduced. It was discussed only casually. But the proposal to build a branch school house there was defeated overwhelm¬ ingly.
The division of sentiment between the eastern and central portions of the district manifested itself when the proposal to appropriate $33,000 for a building was submitted to JV vote: but it was carried, $30,000 be¬ ing allowed for the structure and $3,000 Xor its etiulpment.
Happily Surprised.
A birthday surprise was given in the honor of Arthur Keens, Jr., ou Monday, July 19, at his home on Jay avenue. Among those present were: Mr, -and Mrs. P. Hansen, Miss M.

IMPLICIT FIITH IN COKEMEN
BEPUBLICAN TOWN COMMITTEE¬ MEN ESTEEMED AS MEN COG¬ NIZANT OF THEIR RESPONSI¬ BILITY AND DUTY.
(Special to t4i" Nassau rost.i HEMPSTEAD, N. Y., July 23.— The confldence which the offlcials of the town and their constituents have in the reliability of the Republican town committee is again evidenced in the call Issued for the meeting to b held tomorrow night in Freeport. A successor must be appointed to the offlce of overseer of the poor, made vacant by the deatli of George Hurrei. The advice ot these men is sought. They have been called upon many times of late and their Judgment has always been reliable and always vin¬ dicated.
The people of th> town have reason i.0 feci mighty proud of tbis organiza¬ tion of men, although they are of one party. It may well be said that they i have always been actuated by the highest principles. |
And much to their credit it can al-i ways be said they liave never violated the faith placed io them. They play | fair and have uipermost in their i minds the welfare of Hempstead \ township. They are our most repre-1 sentative men.

FRANK HAMMIL OF VALLEY STREAM LOOKED UPON AS LIKELY CHOICE FOR SUCCES¬ SOR TO GEOBGE HUBRELL.
E lEFFICIENCY OF LOCAL POIICE DEPT. HIGHLY^COMMENDED
Work at Holy Name Rally Under Lamb and Darenberg Noteworthy
At the special meeting of the Re- I publican committeemen of the town [of Hempstead held this evening at Ben Smith's hotel in Freeport It is (|uite probable that Frank Hammil of Valley Stream will be selected as the committee's choice as a successor to the late George Hurrell of Floral Park, as overseer of the poor.
Mr. Hamrtiii is a middle-aged man of considerable business experience, having been employed for several years in one of the most reputable houses in New York City in a most trusted position. There seems to be little doubt among the members of die comniittee of his ability to fill the position.
Although Mr. Hammil has not sought offlce in the town before he lias nevertheless been a most ardent representative of the Republican party. His selection cannot help but strengthen the list of stalwart office¬ holders who are managing the affairs of the town.
R. R. MEN PROTEST RECKLESS DRIVING
GENERAL MANAGER OF L. I. R. R. ADVISES THAT SOUJHERN OF- nCIALS ARE CONFRONTED WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM.
(Special to The- Nassau I'ost.i NEW YORK CITY, July 22.—J. A. McCrea, general manager of the Long Island Raliroad, mtfde the following statement today: "We are very glad to know that the Long Island Rail¬ road is not alone in making a flght for increased safety at grade cross¬ ings. President Harrison, of thc Southern Railway, has just issued an appeal to the publlc to decrease grade crossing accidents due to reckless driving of automobiles.
"Mr. Harrison recites that 'the American people are said to he char¬ acteristically reckless ot human life and perhaps nothing in this state¬ ment is more justified at the moment than in relation to the use of auto¬ mobiles.'
"The Southern Railway problem Is Identical with that of the Long Isl¬ and Railroad. The demands of com¬ merce and ptiblic transportation would not permit a railroad to stop trains at all highway crossings. It is clear, however, that either the rail¬ road or the automobile should stop at every highway crossaing at grade, if the largest measure of protection of life, limb and property Is to be secured."

YACHT CLUB SOCIETY CIRCUS
BIGGEST EVENT SOCIAL SEASON
SUMMER COLONY ANE RESI¬ DENTS CHEER WILDLY AS WELL KNOWN ACTORS PRE¬ SENT FEATURES.
(Reprinted from Brooklyn Daily Eagle, issue of July  17.)
While Frank Tinney, a hardwork¬ ing cowboy, was asleep on the ground with his saddle for a pillow at Free- port lasl Friday night, a burly des¬ perado closely resembling Wlll Rodg¬ ers, stole his horse. Tinney awoke and blazed away, but the bandit shot him full of holes with blank cart¬ ridges and made ottc^ Just then a band of gallant cowboys from the Chin-Chin ram h, headed by Fred Stone and Leo Carrillo, dashup and after firing abouE 900 (blank) shots roped the miscreant and dragged him away, face downward, amid his cries: "Aw, go slow, these stones wlll break my face."
Then the whole summer colony of Freeport cheered wildly, for It was the best amateur circus and society Wild West show ever given on the grounds of the Soutb Shore Yacht Club. There were about 1,500 per¬ sons present, and about 150 actors and actresses who took part, in fact many of the acts had to be cut out as the program was so long. But the principal feature was Arthur Deagon, who, as grand niarshal, announcer and ring master, kepi the audience delighted by hi^ witty remarks.
First came the grand march of cowboys from the Chin Chin ranch, Indians, male and female, acrobats, Scotch Kilties uud bagpipers, bicycle riders and about twenty clowns. In¬ cluding a new Charley Chaplin. After several selectlona by the KMUlea bag¬ pipers a stage was put up and Van Cooper danced the Highland Fling In a graOefnl manner. Sergeant William Cameron of the Klltlea tben gave a Scotch reel in excellent style.
I Fred Stone, Leo Carillo,'Will Rodg- lers, Krank Tinney, Ilttle Dorothy Stone and other ladles gave a splr- I ited (owboy s (luadrlWe on horse-, I back.
I     "The     World's     Greatest     Dlobolo Player, '   William Cromwell, received i much applause for his juggling of the ; spool.
I 'Ladies and gentlemen," announc- j ed Mr. Deagon, "the next event will ^ be the Kaufnian troupe, the greatfest \ bicycle riders in the world. Thoy are the best or we wouldn't have [ them here." •¦
I The Kaufman's certainly did some Ihiarvelous tricks with all kinds of i wheels, single, double, tandem and half wheels. Miss Minnie Kaufman and the rest were heartily greeted.
Frank Demareat, the cliicken chaser, did a funny act disguised as a gigantic rooster.
Will Rodgers, Fred Stone and Leo Carillo showed some wonderful feats of lariat throwing and roping.
An extremely funny act was a bur¬ lesque boxing match between tbe Ed¬ wards brothers, which was referreed by James J. Corbett. They made wild passes at each other and finally Joined in singing "On the Banks of the Wabash."
Madame Bessie exhibted her re¬ markable trained cockatoos. Bedouin Arabs and O'Brien's troupe of acro¬ bats showed some flne tumbling and feats of strength. There waa some good "broncho busting" and many other interesting acts.
The ahow lasted until after 11 o'clock, and Pooh Bah Deagon an¬ nounced that it bad been such a suc¬ cess it would be repeated every auih- mer until further notice. There was a parade of all the performers through Freeport. In the afternoon, which delighted the villagers. Miss Muriel Olenz as a clown in her goat carriage was a feature of tl}e parade.
The efflciency of the Freeport po¬ lice department, under the adminis¬ tration of Vlllage President Roland M. Lamb and Captain Carl Daren¬ berg was never better demonstrated than on the occasion of the Holy Name rally recently. It is conserv¬ atively estimated that fully 15,000 persons visited Freepori on that day It is signiflcant that there was not one accident or a theft of any kind
President Lamb took direct charge of the men. The force was increased to 35 ment, part of whom were plain clothes, part on horseback, and part on wheels. Several pickpockets and disorderly persons were detected early in the afternoon by Offlcer Dun¬ bar who ushered them out of the limits considerably faster than they cared to go.
And the situation was handled without outside aid. Captain Daren berg finding it absolutely unnecessary to call on the sheriff's office. Cap¬ tain Darenberg on horseback and mo- tOKycle aided Chief Lamb in the di¬ rection of the work.
The commendation of their work ib no better evidenced than in the fol¬ lowing communications received from the rectoi of the Catholic church and the officials of the Long Islantl Hail¬ road :
