Officials As Health Board and Also As Village Board Take Necessary Action to Make Cen* tral Park of Yillaje Much More Attractive- Roads Near Country Club to be Improved
MOTOR TRUCK SMASHED WHEN HIT BY LLR.R. TRAM ON VALLEY STREAM CROSSING
Hempstead, .lune 8.—After exIstInK for many years as eyesores to the com¬ munity and to ever>' visitor wbo comes to the village, tht di/veputable looking; cemeteries at the enst and west ends of Fullon Tark are to be Mone awny with and added to fhe |>arl<.
Action to this end was taken last nlRht, when the Vill.iKe BoaT^of Health. actlnR by advice of counsel, declared these cemeferies public nuisances nnd the VlllaK" Board Infer directed the clerk to advertise for .bids for turnInK under the gravestones and KrnifInK the land.
These <'emetcries have existed as lf»nK or longer tban the oldest Inhabitant can remember. They are nof public bury ing grounds, nor do they lielonK to any church or corrioi-atlon. They are sim¬ ply the property of Individual loi own- era, althouKh counsel report<'<l that he has l>eeii tineble lo find any rec-or<l bf conveyance.
With one excejdlon. no one has been burled In the plots for many years, and no relatives or friends of the deceased has thouKht enouKh ubout the places to decorate Ihe Ki-aves or keep the plots tidy.
The ri-sull has been that they have l>ec<jme overgrown with weeds and un- derliriisli, bave bet'ome dumping; places and eyesoicM.
Nothing has been done on them for years, except the <'leaninK given them by the Hoy Kcoiils lust year.
I'nder the present plans of the Hoard, the cemeteries will be put In condition similar to l''"ulton Park and.fenci's will be removed.
The matter was brought up at a re¬ cent meetlnK Of the Ronnl. when Trus¬ tee Chamberlln, who ns chairman of the imrk committee, re|>orted on the cost of repairing the fences, which would be about lano. He advocated grading tbe eastern burying ground which could be done at a cost of about $500. That, he |)olnted out, would be a permanent improvement, whereas the repair of fences would have to 1m> repeated Indef¬ initely,
The matter waa referred to Village Counsel Felix Reifschneider, .Ir., for ad¬ vice as to the iKiwers of the Board. He reiKirted last rtight that the Board of Health has the power to declare the cemeteries public nuisances, an<l that the Milage lioard could then pnM-eed to clean them up. iHe re<'ommende<l that such nctlon be taken and that the vil¬ lage englnetT be Instructed tn prepan a map of the graves so that relatives cfiiild find th<Mn later If desired.
Hr. Clinmbcrlln asked If ivlatlyes of those burled there would luive giiound for legal action against the vlliage. Counsel replied "none whato^'er."
Arthur L. Nichols, whpse father was the leader In the movement which cjean. e<l up the <-emetery which Is now |Ful- ton Park, nnd Mr7 Teal, who has re¬ cently purchased and improved the Nichols property at Washington .'ftreet and Nichols court, both spoke In favoi' of the improvement.
Dr. Chamberlln said he had noticed that no one put a flag or a flower on the graves In the cemeteries on Decora¬ tion Day, which indicated to him that no great intenst was taken in them.
Trustee Muncke wanted to Know, be¬ foro action wns taken, how much the \vork would coet. Trustee McI.Aughlln. actinK as ohairman, said he didn't think the question of cost should be consid¬ ered In this case. Dr. Chamberlln ad vwated strongly that action be taken immediately, declaring he was sure no taxpayer would complain about the cost in this case.
The discussion ended with the Board convening as a board of health and de¬ claring the cemeteries public nuisances. Meeting as a village board, the Board tater authorized the clerk lo advertise for bids for the work.
A letter was received from Jesse Rich¬ ards, president of the Hempstead Coun¬ try Club, transmitting a request from the Board of Directors, that somethinic be done to improve Front atreet until such time as the county makes the per munent Improvement conten^plated. Thomas A. Herg also urged action. The Board ordered that Front and BeU streets be oiled. The c<^ w411 b« about 1600.
Notice was ordered sarysd on owners of propefty on tli« south ^« of Pulton avenue, between tbe Waat Rnd I^otel and tha present sldewilk to lay slde- wfillcs there within tsn dajra, and that In thetr failure to do so tb* vtllas* would do tho worK at the eMp«ns« o. the property. This Is near the point at wiiich a woman was itilled while wall - in; in the road earlier in the sprius-
*-
Action was taken following Mr. Helf Schneider's report that the matter ha*' heen consideretl by the Hrand Jury, li is Itelleved that had a walk existed ai fbe time, fhe woman would not hav« 'icen In tbn road.
Justice of the I'eace Walter R. Jone^ turned over to the Imard $185 collecte<l In flnes lasl month. HIr Idli for fee<>
was %i;.v,.
Prfifiei ty owners were order««d to trim their frees and In the event of their fail ure the vlllag«> will do the work and charge the cost to the owner. Many complaints are received of limbs hang Ing HO low that it is lm|)Ossible to walk beneath them without being hit, c«pe <iall> In wet weather, when the limb; ,\ri' weighted down by the water.
Health Offlcer Combes reported a nill- sance on a lot on I'rospect street, upm as a dump. The owner was ordered ti al>ate the nuisance. The health oiVcer was authorized to pro\lde for a f.imn> which is quarantine*! for scarlet f-ve- nrevj-ptlriR ihe woman who is the bri.'ad winner from working.
The wsual grant of $200 for the fire department ins provided by law for music on the annual In.ipection ilay, which will be on July 4, was made.
.\ booth was ordered construifcd foij fhe traffic offl<er at the corner nf Fu! ton .avenue and Main street.

SOS CALL FROM SEA TEU5 OF SHIP HiniNG ICEBERG AND IN SINKING CONDITION
Boston, June 8.—The vessel report¬ ed by wireless me.ssages to be in dis¬ tress somewhere in the Atlanlle Ocean is the British freighter Seapool, accord- inar to a radio message received through the Boston Cliamber of Commerce, that organization stated today.
Since a ship was reported to have struck an iceberg the Commerce body- has employed every means to determine her Identity, as a number of Boston ships were known to be in the ice infeuted region.
The Seapool is out of Montreal for Dublin. «
The Naval Communication Bureau at this port picked up part of an 8 O S message from an unnamed ship that was asking jPor help.
Th4' message as received follows:
"SOS Just strucit Iceberg. Some ons near please answer. Thought to be sinking. Longitude 4S-80 West."
At 10.J0 o'clock (New York Time) wireless infonnatlon was received that Ul* Seapool was settling in the water vith her forepeak full o( water, and tnat the Cunard Liner Ordnna, 250 miles from the Seapool, was In com¬ munication with her.

In .several instances, notably in Hempstead and Rockville Centre, rec¬ ommendations had already been made for appointments, and the recom¬ mendations had been approved by the Republican County Committee. In Hempstead, Albert H. Voight had been recommended and in Rockville Centre William Lister was the selection.
The Heijnpstead postmastership Is now vacant, Francis J. Mulgannon hav¬ ing resigned on March I. Since that time Kred M. Sealey. who was a-sslstant po.stmaster, has been acting postmas¬ ter.
It is apparent Ihat the executive or¬ der will put a crimp in the aspira¬ tions of some persons who have al¬ ready obtained the endorsement of the committees, unless they are able to pass the civil service examinations among the three highest. At any rate they will have to undergo the exam inatlons before they stand any chance of appointment.
