The rapid progress Doing maao m the e lectrificat ion o£ the Montauk Di- vis ion of the Long Island Railroad between Jamaica and Bab ylon Insures the comp letion of the work by the mid- dle o f May nexL It will be in opera- tion upon the inau guration of the new Summer time table to go in effect as usual , about the 2 0th of May. This will result in an increase of the local service to Bab ylon and stations west of that village and a reduction in runnin g time. Travelers in the tr ains will no longer be; subjected to the annoyance of smoke, gas and cin- ders. - : One-of the most Im portant benefits will be the doing away in many of the trains , with chan ge of cars at Jamaica iCV paa bmi &6 Y& t*> <i U u ll ' u ft l lb.*} z tia iluliti on the section of the road being elec- trified , trains will go through without chan go alternately to \Brooklyn and Penns ylvania Station as the electric trains can go through t he tunnels. This will do away with a largo part of' the crowdi n g on the platform at Jamaica. The steam trains from all stations cast o f Babylon , including ' Bay Shore , Isli p, Oakdiile , Sayvillo , Patcho gue , tho Moriches , the Ham ptons and Sag Har- bor , will be routed over the main line l i y way of Farmlngda l o and Htotcsvllle lo Jamaica. Tho old Stewart road connecting Babylon with Farmln gdale Is being newly ballasted and laid with heavier rails so as to permit of the heavier traffic and fast service of tho bi g par- lor car trains from the Ham ptons. ¦ , This wlll doub l o tho a orvlc o on tho main line from ITIck s v i lle to Jamaica, and will re o ulro n prompt running of the trains from this branch In order to avoid con gestion. Tho main lino will eventually have to bo four tracked from Hicksvillo to Jamaica to earn for the traffic from iho Montauk Division east of BabyJc / n , for tho main lino from Hicksvillo to Oroonport , for the Wadin g n i vo r and Oy n tnr 'flay bran ches. The next develo pment will bo tho u loc t rlflcm tlou 1 of tho ' Oyster Ha y I lrnncli , which will probab ly take place In tho next year or two.

The question Is very natur- al ly asked is tha t all for which we are kee ping up our great govern mental plants? Is the main thing to provide an arm y and navy for defense agalnot an ima ginary enemy. To pay the sala- ries of a lot of legislators all over the countr y who do nothing to relieve their constituents o f the burden of ex- tortion of monopolie s that are adding far more to the cost of livin g tha n all the Federal or State and local taxes combined. It is the le gitimate province of the Governmen t to protect its constituent s from -extortion practised by powerful monopolies , such as the anthrac ite coal combinat ion which instead of re- ducin g prices in harmony with the drop in the cost of other products , has in- creased i t even during the past year. Portland cement which sold at an aver- age price of ?2.22 1-2 a barrel at the mills in September , 1920 , in Octo- ber , 1924 , sold for $1.85 per barrel. Brick have dro p ped slightly from 1920 prices , and the Brookl yn Edison Com- pany has announced a reduction of a half a cent a kilowatt hour In the price of electricit y for lighting, heating and power which means a saving of a mil- lion dollars a year for the residents of that borough , and all of this in spite of the fact that coal is one of the most important factors In the produ ction of al l of the above named products. Manufacturers of these goods are 5 \ - >ar by year cutting down their mar- gin of profit but the anthra cite coal operators have reduced the volume of the ir output and raised the price to a figure unprecedente d in the history of tho country. That is has produced an Incalculable a ggregate of privation and suffering is well known to ever yone. Coal which' sold since the war at $ 8 a ton in the consumers ' bin now costs $1G.50 to $17, 00. It is j three times higher than It was before the war and the su pply is of a far inferior quality. It contains far lf s s calories or heatin g content and a far . gre a ter amount of slate and dust. Thi) price of coal has advanced'far be yond the percentage of Increase in tho price of wheat , corn , \flour , su gar and other food commodities and It has become a serious stru ggle for tho fam- ily of small income to meet i ts coal bill. , The Long Island farmer had lo raise . 20 bushels o f potatoes for a ton of coal last fall. The business is a strict ly cash one and tlm o perators and dealers have bo many fre quent turnovers of their goods in a year their profits on capital invested In out til ' all reason. There Is no lofH from detcrlor n llon and none from goods left ovov because of chan go of fashion. Tho rr port of the commission ap- pointed :by President Hurtlin g to In- vesti gate as to the cauan of the High price of real , a commission com posed of one of , tho most eminent eng ineers In tho countr y and two highly capable business men , made a most oxlmu s tivo report , showin g how tho conl paused throu gh tho hands of severa l distrib- utin g ami selling ngonclo s on Its way from theimine to tho consumer . nnd how each ' took a heavy toll for Its ser- vices. .

Rockefeller , Jr., of over one million dollars to the Met- ro politan Museum of Art came as a s plendid Christmas present. Tho hoard of trustees , of which body our fellow townsman , Robert W. do Forest is president , have had a hard time to keep up the efficiency of the in s t i : tution and make both ends meet , and have often made up deficiencies out ot their own poc kets. With the largo Increase of tho purchases and loans and gifts of rare works of art contrib- uted by wealthy men and women of the country , there has como an in- crease in the cost of housing, arran g- ing and caring for ;such gifts. Moreover , the educational work of the museum Is being enlarged year by year. A larg e staff of Instructors work with visitor s and schools. Ot her func- t ions include the lending of collections of lantern slides , casts and photo- graphs , whic h are sent out for educa- tiona l purposes; tho reference library of approximately 10 , 000 volumes ; the reference collection of 60,000 photo- graphs , for free use by all students; the Associate in Industrial Arts , who corre lates the activities of the insti- tution with that of professional and practical workers and trade papers : s tudy rooms containing duplicates and sur plus collections for students , and lectures in several courses open to members , the public and the public schools ' The large west wing which was added to the museum several , years ago , is now outgrown in ca pacity. The museum is one of the finest \in the world and its contributions to the utilitarian arts , In America has been very grea t. The . museum has been visited by thousands.of Lon g Islanders who haw; found entertainment , instruct ion and ins piration in viewing Its splendid col- lections of paintings , scul pt ure , tap- estries , pottery, anti q ues and other famous exhibits. It has helped to make Now York City tho art center of tho nation and has hel ped uplift Its ethical as well ns it r, psthetlo i de r ls. . ' < \ . ' ¦ PROMISING NEW DEVELOPMENTS Tho sale of tho Cartlodge property comprising about 80 acres In Hunting- ton Bay Village , to a local s yndicate for $175 , 000 , brin gs Into tho market for Im provement one of the first class shore front tracts on East Neck. The bu yers nro active real estate develop- ers and wil l doubtless dlspoao of their holdings in vi lla plots nt a handsome advance. If tho priv ilege of tho shore front for ba thing or boating was in- cor porated in each of tho deed s , the lots , the fiirthorest from the water would brin g nearly ns much as those right on the bay. If tho develo pers carry out tholr intention to subdivide tho property in- to plots of an aero each and a house wore t o bo built on each It would about double tho population of Huntington Hay Village and with the develo pment of the Ito s nllo Jono s tract , would give more than half the voters to tho sec- tion east of the roml loading to tho Huntin gton Bay Club. One of the Improvements that should bo undertaken early lu tho concret- ing of th e highway loading to the liny, which is how In a wretched condition. fhi« work'would h a vo to bo undurtnk- on Jointly by tho villa ge and tho town. The proximity of tho nowly pur- chased tract to tho Huntington Bay Club , with . Its excellent golf conrso , lonnlii court , and yachting facilities , makes this properly all the more at- tractive to prospective buyers. , Tin) water front of Huntington Buy and H unntfngton nnil Centrepni't lutr - bniH , Is cn pablii of a splendid develop , mmit In the f ulur o.

These are open to all the pupils of the hig h school who wish to attend. A business education is ' of great practical value in any occupation. Many professional men , law yers , \ doc- tors and ministers , havo felt sorely the need o f business knowledge. The val- ue of accuracy and attention to detail and powers of observation called for in any business training cannot be over est imated in preparin g the farm- er , mechanic , pro fessional man or the arch itect or man of letters for their work. The study of commercial geogra phy, of insurance , some knowledge of com- merc ial law -and banking are useful to every one. TEAM WORK NEEDED T he State Legislature will meet on Monday evening next, to receive the Governor ' s message , and wi ll probably adjourn unti l the next day. The Repu blicans will be in contro l of both branches of the law makers an d the Speaker of the Assembly and Lieutenant Governor Lowraan , tho pre- s iding officer of the Senate , both Re- publicans , will ma ke up the various commiUee assignments. Senator Geo. h. Thompson , o f the Nassau-Suffolk District , wi ll hold a high place in the Finance Committee and will probably reta in his place on the Conservation and C ivil Service Committees. Assemblyman Boyle will probabl y retain h is place on the Committ ees on Internal Affairs, Affairs of Villages an d Labor and - Industries. The Republicans hold all the State offices other than Governor. It is to be hoped that in spite of this division of power and au thority, that there will bo team work and that every worth y legislative measure originating r-i tli ^ v v viui Gov e rnor or t , i«. S£ii4* t O or Assembl y, will receive the su pport o f ail three. No partisanship should stand in tho way o f cooperation In all depar tments of the government. That legislation which is for the in- terests o f the people at large , i f put through , .will add to the benefit o l tho nart y that , supports it-hea rtil y. ' ELECTRIFICATION TO BABYLON UNDER WAY Ra pid progress has been made , dur- in g tho piist two month s , with tho construction work in preparation for the extension o f the Long Island Rall- rnnd ' s electric porvlce from Jamaica to Bab ylon on tho Montauk Division.
