CAMP DAMM TO BE ABANDONED SOON Aviation Field at Belmont Estate W.11 Be Dismantled Within Next Thirty Days , Lease to Gov- ernment Then Exp iring. * Camp Damm on the Belmont es ' ate at North Babylon is -to be abandoned and the barracks , hangars and other buildings on the aviati on field will be taken down. The lease given by Au- gust Belmont to the government toy a nominal sum expires next month , and arrangements are now being made for the sale at public auction of the wooden barrac k buildings. There are about forty men , including several officers in- the detachment at the camp, and tbey are to leave there within the next few days. Major Lyon io still in command of the post , and LieutenantU.S. Jones ia in charge of the flying field. ' There are two airplanes at the cam p, b t . they yrill be sent to some other frying field. The eight big oteel hangars will not^ _ be sold at auc- tion , but will be taken apar t aind trans- ferred to some other flying field. It is understood that Major Belmon t is to enter a claim to the government for the destruction of some of the trees on the property, and he is not-desirous of renewing the lease to the govern- ment. It is also understood that the government has no further use fpr the camp, and that all the aviation squad- rons on the Island will be ' reduced and more centrally concentrated , probably making the fields at Mineola the main aviation camp. Camp Damm was formally opened on Thursday, June 13, by the 261st and 350th aero squadrons. The two squad - rods had been ordered- the night before to pack up at the Mineola field , and ex pec ted to be sent overseas and were sur prided at 7:00 o ' clock that morning when ordered to go • to Babylon. About 10:00 o ' clock Lieutenant Bert Ku-is of the261at and Lieutenant Arthur Rathjen of the 850th , each with a squad of eig ht men , arrived at the Belmon t estate , and they were shortly afterward joined by other members of their squadrons. When the man reached the camp site they found a fine field of oats growing and ether evidenced of the well man- aged Nursery Farm , for which tbe Bel- mont place bas long been noted , but al- ter a long day ' s labor tbey had their complete tent equipment in shape by 5:00 o ' clock. \ > The Rev. and?Mrs. Arthur G.: Boyh- ton , Mrs. Boyntonjs father r the lai*}! Andrew J. Hutchinson , .and Editor and -Mrs. J. Flugrath , of T H B S IGNAL , wen* the first Babylonians to greet, the soL diers. Editor Flugrath and Pastcii- Boynton were honored with passes , No . 3. 1 and 2 , repective ly , issued by Lieutenant Harold P . Mills , the firfit commander of the post. Tbe list of vis- itors to ' the camp gre w . fast , and. from then on tbe soldier boys declare d they had a roy al reception , such^as they had at no other place. The Babylon people have made the soldiers stay here very pleasant. A citizens committee was formed , the Ins titute building turned over to the soldiers for tbeir recreation , a rest room opened on Main street , an officers club estaoliahed , and various lines of entertainment have been car- ried on for the welfare of the soldier boy s while encamped here. Over 280 acres of the Nursery Farm were placed at the disposal of the gov- ernment. The site incmded the bi g race track on which many , of the crack Belmon t racing horses have been trained in years past , and tbis track was developed as the main flying field. Late in tbe fall , shortl y ! before ihe armistice was signed , five cadet flyers , who were training in camp received their commissions as lieutenants , while a number of other commissioned filers have neen stationed at tbe camp. Lieu- tenan t Jones , now in command of the flying field , one ol the best fliers in the service , whose only regre t is that he did not get to go on tbe other side , flew over tho village on Wednesday in his machine taking p ictures of the land- scape; j It is estimated that upwards of fif- teen thousand men of the diffe rent aero and construction squadrons have been :•? in camp here during the pas t eigh t months , the highes t number at one timc being about 1 , 200 . At present the camp I presents a deserted appearance , but h precisely neat thruout. J , . Tbe abandonment of tbe camp will be regretted by tbe Babylon folks , but I all join with T HE S IGNAL , as tbe people did in the formal welcome , m bidding tbe \ boys a hearty goodbye and best i wishes wherever they may go. - There are twelve barracks buildings , two mess halls , kitchen buildings and j other wooden buildings to be sold at I auction. ' , 'W ¦i This afternoon it was learned that I all of the buildings , except the hangars , are io be sold under sealed bids. Tbe water and lighting ; plants are to be sold the same way. Bids must be filed with Lieutenant Oscar Z:ps before M arch 1. V Lieutenant Zips , one of the field fliers , 'V - is in cbarge of the salvaging of tbe \7 eatup material , \f- ' ¦ W' .

JERRORS ON TOWN TAX P ROLLS CAUSES BIG LOSS Necessity for the making of a tax 5 map of the town of Huntington , say s a recent dispatch from Huntington to the Brooklyn E igle , has been forced upon the attention of the assessors by th jJ- evident probability that hundreds of acres of land .in the township esteape taxation. - ' |, Property sold at Northport not long ago bad been listed as containing 18 acres and was found to contain 30 acres. A tract of 41 acres in the Pigeon Hill section , recently purchased by a devtlopment company, has escaped tax- ation for 50 years , thru not being listed , as the purchasing Company discovered thru checking up their holdings on the tax rolls. A large acreage owned by the Wheatley Hills Estates had been as- - - - . . ¦ sessed for-a number ofj years by the town of Babylon , until recently ic was discovered that it is ! in the town of Huntington. Another property recently purchased near the Babylon town i ine was found to have been never listed in , either towu. A valuable S- iuth Hunt- ington tract , listed as 85 acre? , has oeen discovered to consist of ' i 115 acres. Several owners have reported errors in the listing of their property. One tract on Woodbury avenue was 30 acres larger than listed. S-x or seven acres near the harbor , a trict -near the rail- ' road inherited recently by local peop le and owned by two men for more than 60 years , a farm at Melville containing 18 acres and a piece of six acres near that village , all of wbxh have never been listed before , are on the list this year. Considering the* immense loss the town has sustained in failure to tax these properties it looks as if the Coal of a map may be offset by the stopping of similar losses in other parts of the town. W 3 . From other towns have come serious reflections upon the makeup of the as- sessment rolls the past year. In River- head , thru an error of the assessors , a large number of properties we re left off the rolls and thus escape taxation this year. In Isli p tqwn; thru an error of compilation or sornething else , the v tax rate was booster * . U least a point.
