They were Stanley Miller, twen- ty-nine years old of Peconic, who was driving, and Marcey Mara »wBkl of Greenport. Miller was driving Marczewskl to his home in Greenport when the fatal accident occured. Coroner J. MIott Heath was called and gave permission to move the bodies to Beebe's Funeral Parlors at Cutchogue. The car was dragged down the track for over a half mile before the loco- motive could be brought to a stop. The young men were killed instantly. The Peconic crossing has been the scene of many fatal accidents in the past, at least seven people having met their death there. The locomotive. No. 46, was enroute to Greenport to replace another loco- motive which was in collision with another automobile at the Fifth Street crossing, Greenport, at 8 p. m., Monday. The Engineer of the locomotive in the fatal accident was Robert Taplin of Greenport and the fireman was Roj L. Salle of Jamaica. The accident was investigated by the Southold Town Po- lice. A requiem mass was celebrated at Our Lady of Ostrabrama R. G. Church, Cutchogue, this morning (Thursday) for Stanley Miller. Burial was in the Sacred Heart Cemetery, Cutchogue. Funeral services will be held at the same church to-morrow morning for Marcey Marczewskl.

The car which was owned by Joseph Buokln, Sr., and driven by Brandi was completely de- mohshAd. The accident was InvestigBted by Patrolman Joseph Nockelln and WU- liam Biggs of the Greenport Police De- partment. ' Prominent Engineer Declares Need For Water Control Agency Mental Hygiene Clinic Plan la Balked by Board By a vote of six to three the Suf- folk county board of supervisors, hold- ing their last meeting of the old year in Rlverhead Friday, turned down the request for establishment of a county mental hygiene clinic. While there was no Item for this in the new year's estimate of expenses some hope of provision being made for it by an extra appropriation was held by its proponents, mainly the League of Women Voters, as several of the supervisors had informally en- dorsed the movement. It was explained that an item of $14,600 was needed, with the Idea of starting operations March 1, The proposals was beaten, apparent- ly simply because the supervisors are hearing so many complaints about high taxes. Mrs. Robert Oliver of Babylon representing the league of Women Vo- ters, urged favorable action and made the claim that support had been prom- ised by a majority of the supervisors. Hie board members voting in opposi- tion said no promises had been made as to an appropriation, but simply expres* sions of favorable interest in the work proposed for the mental hygiene clinic. Supervisor Edgar A. Sharp of Brook- haven town, who was among those who voted against authorizing the estab- lishment of the clinic at this time, said he thought the board owed it to the taxpayers to cut down expenses rather than Increase them, wherever possible.. He commended the move- ment, however, and suggested that something might be done to foster it later. The others who voted \no\ were Messrs Wood of Babylon. Duryea of East Hampton, Hildreth of Southamp- ton, Kreutzer of Huntington and Hor- ton of Southold, while Messrs. Green- halgh of Islip, (retiring) Tuthlll of Shelter Island and Brennan of Smith- town voted \yes.\ Mr. Homan of Rlv- erhead (retiring) recorded himself as not voting.

Brush Says State Could Exercise Sovereign Rights AN APPEAL FOR AID FOR FINUND The contention of the proponents of a strong water ccmtrol agency to protect Suffolk County's water re- sources for the county's own uses was Etrenghtened considerably last Thurs- day nljjit by Winiam W. Bnish,fonn- er chief en^neer of water supply of the City of New York, and one of the nation's most eminent authorities on public water questions, In an address at the annual meeting of St. Mary's Men's Club in the parish house at Amltyvllle. Mr. Brush said that since a commodity of such Importance as water Is necessary to the well-being of a community, it is essential that a control agency be established for the purt)ose of utilizing It to best advan- tage. In his opinion, Mr. Brudi said that the city should not be permitted to take more water from Long Island unless a condition is imposed that the resources revert to the county when local need demands. He exploded the belief held by many that Suffolk County would gain meas- urably in a monetary way from the sale of water to the city, and he expressed the opinion that it is the duty of a large city to gather to Itself all the water resources possible on the theory that such action would be of greatest benefit to the greatest number. Summarizing the points Mr. Brush made, they were briefly these: 1. Origin of the water supply un- der Long I ^ n d , and the amount and quality of this supply. 2. The extent to which the supply has been utilized. 3. The overdraft on western Long Island which has ruined a part of that supply. 4. The value of the supply to Long Island, and the deslrabUlty of setting up a control agency to see that tiie supply Is utilised for the best advan- tage of Long Island Inhabitants. Tremendous Interest was shown In the topic, \Water Treasure on Long Idand anc^ Its UtUlmUon.\ Tbe ton portimce of the toidc in the minds of the attendance was proven by the great number of questions asked of the speaker who was conversant with every p^ase of the problem affecting not only the city, but also Long Island, and who showed that he had made a deep study of It. He repeatedly emphasized that the water resources were a boundless treasure. In connection with the existing fal- lacy that Suffolk County would bene- fit materially from the sale of water to the city, Mr. Brush pointed out, in reply to a question by George P. Wag- ner, that since the state has a sover- eign right to the water resources the (Continued on Page 6) The Editor received this Ireek a let- ter from Dr. George T. Thompaon off- ering his contrltoutiOR t«>.mld the peo- ple of Finland, a ootni iy'now being attacked by a nation mah^ times its size and strength, while we are heart- ily In sympathy with Dr..'

The Long Island Traveler will give the movement the publicity necessary. Dr. Thompson's letter follows: To the EMttor of The Traveler: Herbert HOover, a great American, and our former president, has appealed to the citizens of this country for aid for the people of Finland, i n their hour of trial. Because mere expressions of sympathy axe meaningless accompani- ed by real and tangible help, and be- cause my sympathies are strong for these people, I would like to make through you a modest gift to this cause which Mt. Hoover Is urging. 1 would like to sec you print In your paper, Mr. Editor, an appeal to the citizens of our village to give this cause only a small portion of what God in his good- ness has given us, so that these brave people, and liberty-loving people every- where, may be given help and encour- agement in this fight against the foe of mankind and civilization.

Last of Mattituck Bank Robbers Sentenced 10-20 Years Charles Dougherty, 22, of Brooklyn, one of the six bandits who robbed the Mattituck National Bank and Trust CXimpany of $6,300 on March 11, 1038 was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in Sing Sing by County Judge L. Barron Hill on Tuesday of this week. The otJier five men had been previously sent to prison for long terms in connection with the crime. Dougherty escaped arrest for more than a year and . a half but was arrest- ed on November 12th of last year In BrocAlyn. He pleaded guilty to an in- dictment charing robbery In the first degree shortly after his arrest. The sentencing of Dougherty brings to a close one of the most daring rob- beries ever attempted on the North Pork. The quick solution of the crime, the arrest and sentencing of all six men to long terms merits a great deal of praise on the part of our county officials coimected with the case.'

Soutkwold in The Wmt Queen Street Southwold, England Dec. 4th, -39 Dear Friend:— Here's wishing you a happy Christ- mas and best of wishes for the New Year. Thank you for your letter of about a month ago which was kind of you to send. We are getting used to war conditions which eventually will affect every household. The blackout is se- vere and so early now. We are allow- ed land torches if reflected on the ground only . . . . Being on the coast of the North Sea we see convoys passing often also . . . charging took place frequently when the Sub menace was prevalent. We have seen two steamers torpedoed and sunk. Some anglers on the pier de- clare they saw the periscope of a Sub. This is deflnltely a mine infested area. I am on duty at our first aid post often as you know I am an old Red Cross member. I do night duty there once a week besides day. We have very real practices and mock raids to give the detachment practice. The men bring in the wounded (in gas masks etc.) on stretchers — All procedure is carried out as real except the ad- ministration of drugs and then the pa- tients are brought to our part of the post, where we dress the wounds etc. We also give practical lessons to the public schools . . . You see we are back a t the (rid house, {t Is less lonely and easier to get to places In the blackout .We shall prob- aUy remain here until after the war. I spent a few hours In the garden at \lona on Saturday last , . . We had very windy wealher all the autumn and had Incessant rain ever since. There Is nothing very cheerful in this letter, but we try to keep our hearts bright. I hope if we win this war It will certainly be to end all wars. I have two brothers under forty who will probably have to Join up in the end.

Supervisor Perry Duryea placed the name of Mr. TuthlU in nomination for the chairmanship and Superviaor Ed- gar A. Sharp seconded the nomina- tion. Benjamin D. Blackman of Smith- town was reappointed by the board as clerk of the Board of Supervisors at a salary of $3000 per year. County Clerk Frank S. Markvart then admin- istered the oath of office to the chair- man and the clerk. County attorney Edgar F. Hazleton was renamed for that office by a vote of eight to two. His name was placed i!n nomination by Supervisor Sharp while Supervisor Kreutzer nominated Franklin T. Voelker of Llndenhurst for tbe post. Supervisor Wbod of Baby- lon seconded Voelker's name. The final count found Kieutaer and Wood the only supervisors voting for Voelker. Miss' Ruth B. Smith of HOlbrook, clerical assistant to Clerk Blacknuui was reappointed at a yearly salary of 11600. With the election of Mr. Tuthlll as chairman, it made the third Shelter bbuid supervisor, to bold that post. The late Charles Hpnry Smith was the most recent chairman ftom that towh- ship, while many years ago Samuel B. NicoU was chosen. Chairman Tuthlll announced the fol- lowing committee appointments for 1940 and 1941: Finance and Taxation — Edgar A. Sharp, chairman; S. Wentworth Hor- ton, and John N. Brennan. Contract and Supplies — S. Went- worth Horton, chairman; Edgar A. Sliarp and John N. Brennan. CJounty Property and Buildings — J. A. Hildreth, chairman; Frederick J. Wood and John N. Bretman.

No designaUons were made for the Welfare, Police and Bridge and Cause- way Committees, Chairman TuthiU de- claring that the above appointments would be all that would be made at this time, others to be made at a later date if deemed necessary. It is thought however that at least one of these three committees will be abolished. No further action was taken in the designation of the official Republican newspaper to print the tax sale. This matter which is generally decided at the final meeting of the board In De- cember was left unsettled by last year's board no action being taken at the December meeting.
