M'WHINNEY BILLS AFFEQ CEMETERY AND WATER DISTRICT
Freeport's P«rk and School Pro¬ ject Advanced—Water Bill is Safety MeAnre
Mlnoold, March 16.—A.s.spmblyrnan Thomas A. McWhinney ha.s intiodurf-d In the A.-isembly a proposed act of Ix-jjis- lattire, which will authorize the Hoard of Kducation of Krpeport fo acqiiir*' all or part of thn Kreeport cpmelory proij- erty on Grove street for .school or vil¬ lage park purposes.
The property adjoinn the holdingH of the First PreBbyterlan Church, and the bill provido.s for Ihe appolntnifnt of romml.ssion«rs to apprai.se the lands to be taken, and it also provides that moneyn may be rni.sed by bonij issur, or through taxe.s for the payment of the parcels taken.
Mr. McWhinney has also introduced a hiH In the A.s.sembly, which If fnactpd into law,' will leave the creation of ii water dl.strict In tho hands of 50 per cent of the resident property owners. This precludes a man of big landed es tales controlling the greater part of ihe property, from creating a water dis¬ trict that might be burdensome to his .ipiftller nnd less afllupnr neighbors. The measure al.so makes other changes In the water district law, which permit.s the purchase of existing water plants, provides for attorney.s' services, and permits the necessary machinery.for ihe operation of IJie water district.
OYSTER IMPERILLED
BY POLLUTION OF
WATER, EfPERT SAYS
George D. Pratt, State Conserva-
tioB G>niBiisnoiier, Tells of
Danger To Indistry
The oyster Industry of the *ntlre North Atlantic Coast, and especially of the State of New York, Is endangered by the destruction of "sets," due It Is Indicated, by pollutive wast<»s from new Industrial plants which have sprung up along the rlVers tliat flow into Long laland Sound, according to George D. Pratt, Commissioner of Conservation, In his annual report to the Legislature, Just made public.
"In the last ten years," s.ays the re¬ port," the Conservation Commlsnlon has received 'from rents and taxes from shellflsh ground.s more than a quarter of a million dollars. This Is an ln<onne which the State can ill afford to lose. The loss of the people, however, if they should Iw deprived of this source of food, would be Immeasurably greater. To be sure, the '.set' of oysters has not failed in SUtes farther south. It Is certain, however, that if the failure of the 'set' In Ix)ng Island Sound Is due to pollution, the time may surely come when the 'set' may fail In still other States for the same reasons.
"Jt accordingly behooves New York State, and every other State concerned, as well as the National Government, ta attack the entire problem vigorously all along the line before It Is too late. The oyster Industry of the entire Atlantic Coast is more valuable, from the stand¬ point of Investment and the value ot tho product, than any other branch of the fishery Industry.
"As a result ot the failure of the 'set,' the oyster Industry Is today going thru a period of jirofound reorganization. A large nurfiber of concerns hiivp gone out of business, while others have been hold¬ ing land with the desperate hoije that the '.set' may again return. K;i<h year has added to the conviction that condi¬ tions are becoming such Hint old meth- mls will never sustain the Industry in its former position."
Acreage Decrease SO Per Cent
Tn a. table submlttej by the commis¬ sion. It is shown that acreage devoted to oyster production in the State fell almost 30 per cent, or from 33,95C acres In 191B to 24,076 acres Irt. 1919. The state of Rhode Islanil lost 60 per cent, in revenues, and the grounds cultivated there are less thnn fiO per cent, of what they were In 1912. Connectitut also has been forced to reduce the assessed value of the beds In order io encourage grow¬ ers to hold on t<i the beds at a tlnancial loss.
It is acknowledged In the report that the cause of the failure of the 'set' Is not fully known, but results of biolog¬ ical Investigations point to the proba¬ bility that it is largely dim to a rapid Increase in the amount of pollution in waters where the eggs normally hati li.

INDEMNIFIED—paid by the Company the value of the articles stolen—that is after you have made proof of loss (sometimes a lengthy procedure and sometimes an unpleasant proceeding).

LOOKING FOR A DROP?
No need to look for that in building material prices, because we have already dropped.
We have consistently followed the market, up and down, which is the only businesslike way to do.
We would also remind you that even at the top prices our share of your building was never more than one-third of the total cost of the completed work, oftentimes much less.
If we reduce our third of your cost by one-third, that means that our portion of the reduction is one-ninth of the total cost. That's our share.
Here are some of the actual reductions we have made from our highest prices.
