roe BOARD PLANS . . BETTER L1€11T1N€ If Present Suggestions . Carry Huntington ' s Leading Busi- ness Streets Will Be Veritable White Wry. Huntington will soon have, a new liglitiDE system on its two 'business streets if the p lans of tho Huntington Town Board work out. At -Uie present (line the old type of lighting js not prc-riiiE sufficient and ili ' c 1 lighting comnillteo nre working -ailong plana to improve Ihe same. Tiro types of lights are being watched by the com- niiilee members , one type is tlie metal post boulevard light which is set iu (lie pavement, while the other is a type of boulevard light that is at- tached to 'the existing electric light poles. At the present time there are two His of the metal pole boulevard lights one set in front of the Huntington Post Office , while the others are in front ot the (lorinley Store block nearly oppo- sil:' . ' On the other Jian-J the Long Island Lighting 'Company, which holds the contract for the Huntington Light- ing district , Iras installed a. demonstra- tion light of the other - type on. pole on the wes t side of New- York avenue just soutli of the corner of New York avenue and -M ain street. The cast of the latter. type of light is nuii- .li more reasonable , it is under- Btooil , than that of the metal post irpe. it is considered that if these li ' slits are installed every \ . 100 feet along New York avonue and Main street , alternating from one side ' of uio streo: to the other , Huntington , will have a veritable \ great white v. -ay. \ The tenative plans wiil include a circuit line on both iidos of thn street to furnish current to these lights without 'the necessity of crossing the highway back and forth: to feed them. it was sugsected at the Board meeting last -Friday, that these lights extend along Jlaln street , from Nassau avenue ito -XVest Neck avenue , and on New York avenu e , from Fairview street , to a point 600 feet north of Main street. All the suggestions that ivere made to the committee will be placed before the Long-Island Lighting Company ' s engineers and \ after a de- finite plan has been worked out it will be submitted for approval. , The demonstration 'ligh t that has been placed on Now York avenue , is painted green , with a neat white shade , and it has been suggested that if this type of li ght is finally approved that ths pole line along Jlaln street and New York avenue also be painted w lurmonizo with the . new lights in- stead of leaving them tho unsightly natural wood color. The Board at the merging also pass- ed a resolution , following the re- commendation of the lighting -commit- tee , to place two flights on Mill street , between New York avenue and Park uvcmie , in the Huntington District . This is the high\va.y ' oi 'tih used hy. the ambulance in going ' to and. from the Huntington Hospital, a^irl the need of lights on the highway Is great. Two SO candle power lamps , complete , were ordered for that highway. I ltaron. L Sammis ' INSURANCE Fire, Accident , Automobile Plate Glass O. e.

Pour of the nuns of the St. Domin i- can Order who were Injured last Saturday morning, when the motorcar in wl.icli they were riding on their way home after attending mass at ihe St. Patrick' s 'Roman Catholic Church , overturned on West 'Week avenue , have been discharged from the Huntington Hospital , where they wero rushed Im- mediately after the accident. The other two , 'Sister ilary ' Platida. and Sister Pancratia arc still patients in the institution. Tito contusion s from which they were suffering wero ' more serious titan the o ther four , and the- physicians in charge, Drs. Alton S. Henderson and Willoughby C. l'endill recommended that these two remain foi iurtlier treatment. Those whose injuries were not so serious and who have returned to tlielr retreat at the. Rosamary Farm , the former summer home of Roland. -R. Conklin , on West Neck, are Sister Lccndra, Sister Cortona , 'Sister Valen- tine and -Sister Henrica. They all suf- fered from lacerations and shocks. The two little orphan children -that wore with them at the time of tlie accident were uninjured. /Th e group of six are all connected with tho retreat , but It is understood ' that they are not the teachers. They had left the place earl y Saturday morn, iug, and had been driven to the village where they attended mass at St. Pat- rick' s. Immediately after the service they again started down . West Neck ' avenue , Mas Eder driving -their-ran- ch Lie. ; They were nearly to Woolsey ave- nue , when .1. M. Pettit , driving a Buick roadster started to pass them. He WCJ nearl y clear from their car when ths hub caps of the two machines locked, throwing the car in which tlie sisters were riding; out of control and overturning it in the ditch on the east side to the road, tossing ihe human lead In a heap. Potti t , who gave Iris address as Park and Lincoln avenues , Huntington Sta- tion , wen t several lumdred feet -beyon d before he -brought his car to a stand- st;il , according to Motor Vehlclo In- spector 'Hooney, who arrived at the scene shortly after -Constable] Bert W;llter , who was notified of the acct dent. It Is believed that Pettit mis- judged tho distance between the two cars as ho passed on his way to the est ito of Marshall Field , where lie is employed. WAR 0U TUBERCULOSIS SUCCESSFUL IN SUFFOLK The declino In the tuberculosis death rate , which has .been consist- ently manifest during the past twerjty years shows the result of the organ- ized -campaign that the tuberculosis associations throughout the United States are accomplishing. recent ipress release ,from ' the Bureau of Census shows that the tuberculosis d eath rate for the registration area of the United States In l:>2i was H0. -I per 100 , 000. The race l.i 1 121 was 93.6 . This means a saving of three ' .Ives In -every 100 , 000 living in the United States. For the ysar 1025 whe- i ihe final figures aro available llio decline will probabl y be even gre-twr . From pre- liminary figures given out by insur- ance companies it is probabl- . - that be- tween 1924 and 1925 ihe der-iine will be approximately 6 per cent. Since the figures of the- Census Bureau fol- low fairly closely the percentage ol decline shown hy the insurance sta- tistics we may confidently cip-jet the 1925 rate for the United States to be- between 85 -and S6 per 100 , 000. In Suffolk County, ' .he death r.iie from tuberculosis has been reduced to about one-hal f of the rate given for the whole of the .United States. Tho figures for the yea r 192-1 show a rate of 53 per 100 , 000 and-1925 show a further drop of 44.7 . per 100 , 000, These low -figures for Suffol k County are largely due to the efficient work being done in Suffolk by the County Sanatorium at Holtsville and the Suf- folk 'County Tuberculosis- Association which in their successful figh t against tuberculosis have succeeded each year in reducing the death rate still lower In Suffolk County. Tho members of the Women ' s Auxiliary of Huntington Post , Ameri- can Legion No. 360 , enjoyed their first birthday at the Legion room Thursday evening. About sixty members were present. Dancing and \ cards were en- joyed arid at the close of a very plea- sant evening a covered lucehoon was served , a feature bein . -r ' . a- birthday cake with one candle. The 'Crescent Five furnished music. The next regular meeting of the auxiliary will be held Thursday even- , ing, April 29 , when it Is hoped there will be a good attendance. Legion Auxiliary Party.
