Publishers of the Dally Review were confident of tlie suco.eaa of the paper when it wan begun an a daily but little did they think that a reader would become no enthuslaatic as to pay 149^^ tlriKm Its sales value to obtain one copy.
Thla was done in Rockville Centre last night. Henry Mull, one of the newsies, and a honest fellow at that, will prove it to his ambitious customer. He received two cents and 149^ times aa much again for one copy of the Review while offerlnsT papers in front of the movies.
The man disappeared In the "line that forms at the right," before Henry could make change but Henry is ready to make resti¬ tution if he can flnd tbe man. i

view-Heaman avenue route the county has lost 8on(>e |4O9,0OO of state roud tuoneys that it would otherwise have bad. The total cost otthis route would iJive been hut $600,000, or thereabouts.
Former State Highways Commission¬ er Duffy agreed to build this route and sent Frank Crocker to look it over. Following that the route was designat¬ ed but wa^ not built liecause ofthe war and the fact that something alwa:^ intervened to stop it. .Ihe last intei-- vention was the proposal to build the lloulevard along the pipe* line, since the state commission said '^Nassau could have onl^ one route this year.
Chairman Smith, as the presiding of¬ ficer of the. Board of Sup^vlsora, start¬ ed his communications with the hi^- ways department In September of 1916 regarding the Lakevlew-Seaman ave nue route. From that time to the prea¬ ent the tried repeatedly to get some ac¬ tion looking t(>ward th« construction of the road but without avail. Something or someone always prevented the work from going forward.
Since the matter had been hanging flre foi- so long, nearly flve years, the options, referred to In the petitions now being circulated, muat have existed prl- c'r to 1016, and, ITthey exist at all, they must have been ren^ved many times in that flv^ years. It seems hardly like¬ ly, said one man today, that any one would tie up his property for such a long time. He waa frankly skeptical und thought that he saw in the talk of "options" and other equally vague In¬ sinuations an attempt to cover the tralL of something that might ameU In tha wake of the ptr>« line boulevard.

F« i49'/j I SUBMARINE ASHORE iOFFNAPEAGUEBEACH Times Its Sales Vafaiel Publishers of the Dally Review were confident of tlie suco.eaa of the paper when it wan begun an a daily but little did they think that a reader would become no enthuslaatic as to pay 149^^ tlriKm Its sales value to obtain one copy. Thla was done in Rockville Centre last night. Henry Mull, one of the newsies, and a honest fellow at that, will prove it to his ambitious customer. He received two cents and 149^ times aa much again for one copy of the Review while offerlnsT papers in front of the movies. The man disappeared In the "line that forms at the right" before Henry could make change but Henry is ready to make resti¬ tution if he can flnd tbe man. i Loses Bearing In Fog While Re¬ turning To NaTal Base From Fleet Reriew EVERYTHING READY FOR FLYING CffiCUS Unusual Events at Mitchel Field Tomorrow Promise Many ThriHing Moments view-Heaman avenue route the county has lost 8on(>e 4O9,0OO of state roud tuoneys that it would otherwise have bad. The total cost otthis route would iJive been hut $600,000, or thereabouts. Former State Highways Commission¬ er Duffy agreed to build this route and sent Frank Crocker to look it over. Following that the route was designat¬ ed but wa^ not built liecause ofthe war and the fact that something alwa:^ intervened to stop it. .Ihe last intei-- vention was the proposal to build the lloulevard along the pipe* line, since the state commission said '^Nassau could have onl^ one route this year. Chairman Smith, as the presiding of¬ ficer of the. Board of Sup^vlsora, start¬ ed his communications with the hi^- ways department In September of 1916 regarding the Lakevlew-Seaman ave nue route. From that time to the prea¬ ent the tried repeatedly to get some ac¬ tion looking t(>ward th« construction of the road but without avail. Something or someone always prevented the work from going forward. Since the matter had been hanging flre foi- so long, nearly flve years, the options, referred to In the petitions now being circulated, muat have existed prl- c'r to 1016, and, ITthey exist at all, they must have been ren^ved many times in that flv^ years. It seems hardly like¬ ly, said one man today, that any one would tie up his property for such a long time. He waa frankly skeptical und thought that he saw in the talk of "options" and other equally vague In¬ sinuations an attempt to cover the tralL of something that might ameU In tha wake of the ptr>« line boulevard.
