Again the people of this town have aserious grievance against the GreatSouth Bay Water Company with whoma very foolish and one-sided contractwas made by the town authorities elevenyears ago. This contract not onlydonated to the water company the very-valuable franchise to lay their mainsthroughout the villages along the SouthSide, permitting them to deliver waterto private consumers; but it bound thetown to pay -$0,000 per year for a periodof twenty years for the use of hydrantsfor fire purposes.

There have been from rime to rimexepeat-jd failures to supply an "adequatepressure for fire nurpcses. the most not-able of which was on Feb. 2S, 1900, whena fire occnred in the village of Islip andowing to the meager pressure of waterin the mains, a large part of the businesssection of the village was destroyed.The latest exhibition of the inefficiencyof the corporation supposed to furnishprotection from Sre, was on Sunday tsstwhen the Hotel Elmore in this villagewas only saved by the desperate effortsof the local firemen against great odds.Every person present at that fire is awitness to the fact that there was notsufficient pressure at any time to throwa stream over the one-story building inwhich the fire originated and which wastotally destroyed. Repeated demandswere made by telephone upon the pump-ing station bnt there was no apparentimprovement.

Ordinarily repeated failures of thiskind to furnish a reasonable pressurewould be grounds for annulling tieagreement: bnt, as the News once be-fore pointed out, reference to the con-tract shows it to be a jug-handled docu-ment with all of the advantage on theside of the corporation The contractrequires that the company shall erectand maintain a stand pipe 20 feet in di-ameter and 100 feet high, but strangelyomits to specify that there shall ever beany water in the stand pipe, and fails torequire that there shall ever be a poundof pressure in the mains. Legal opinionwas obtained upon the matter more thana year ago and it appears that there isno possibility of breaking the contract.

Of course there will never be a re-newal of it, and before its expirationSayville will no doubt be ready to incor-porate and build a plant of its own; butthere are long and weary years in theinterval and losses by Sre during thattime may exceed the cost of severalwater plants.

Shall we do something about it in earn-est, or take it out in cussing the watercompany and the alleged representativesof the people who made this abominablecontract ':

Justice Thomas in the United StatesDistrict Court in Brooklyn banded downlast Saturday a dec ision in favor of theUnited States Government in the suitbrought by the heirs of Egbert T. Smith.The United States Government boughtfrom Egbert T. Smith in 3S7C two acresof land on the beach at Smith's Pointand Foige Point, L. I., at $100 an acrefor life-saving stations. Mr. Smith diedin 1SSS, when it was discovered that hisfather had bequeathed him only a lifeinterest in the beach property. In 1>57the children of Egbert Z. Smith pre-sented a claim to the Government andbegan ejectment proceedings. The Gov-ernment offered the heirs -?-2o0 an acrein settlement of all claims, which wasrefused. The heirs set up a claim tothe ownership of the buildings erectedby the Government and in answer tothe condemnation proceedings whichwere taken filed a claim that the landwas worth -?10,000. Judge Thomas saysin his decision: "It would be an in-tolerable rule that should forfeit tothose succeeding to possessory rightsstructures erected rightfully for publicagencies , even though there be lachesin acquiring the outstanding title, andsuch has been the all but uniform hold-ing of the courts. Arrangements willnow be made to pay the heirs a f airvalue for the pnroerrv.

A friend of Supervisor Daily says thetalk about bis nomination for the Assem-bly is simply twaddle. He realizes theimmense odds against a Democratic can-didate in this district, and doesn't regardthe office worth fighting for, even if as-sured of success. Talk is cheap, butcanvassing for a hopeless prize is expen-sive.—Amityville Eu Hrprisc.

Some of the children have amusedthemselves of late by pushing each otheroff of the dock at the foot of Seamanavenue.

Some of this morning's New Yorkpapers published quite a sensationalarticle which said that a bitter fight wasin progress between Mr. John Morganand Mr. Charles A.

floui that It is st BED ROCK.PRICE OF SHARE 30 CENTS

PAR VALUE $1.00.A FEW reasons why this is the best stock

to purchase:1st. It is within Goo feet of the richest mine in

the world, viz: The United Verde atJerome. It is said that its owner. SenatorW.A.Clark, has refused-$lon ,(KNi ,(in(ifo r it.

2d. The ore in both mines is identical at thesame depth.

3d. The Verd e Apex is free and clear of all in-cumbrance and is non-assessable.

4th . Miners are working on the mine and takeii cash and half stock for their work. Thisspeaks more than words as to its value,

No private- stock for sale. N'or will tlicro boany until the mine in a dividend payor. Allthe money received for Treasury Stock goestowards developing the mine. •

The Owners and Directors are first-classcitizens and canfurnisli best of references.
