Bay Avenue, Cutchogue, July 28, 1040 Chief Otto Anrig, SouthoM Town Pirilce Dear Chief: During the recent' Tercentenary Cel ebration, which was so outstandingly successful, in so many ways, one phase struck me forcibly — the smoothness of the traffic supervision. Perhaps because people suff«red no delay and weM ' undisturbed by any discordant Ineidents, they may not have realized ^ t the floods of cars and persons at the opening exercises, the pageant and the grand parade pre sented portentolis proMems. We were Impressed by the liiorough way in which each detail had been foreseen and been provided for, and by the quietness, the courtesy and the cheerful good will of both the regu lar police and the special officers. They and you deserve more than merely perfunctory thanks, because, at the time when the celebratton was impressing visitors with the worthi ness of Southold’s past, the town’s iwo- tectors were unconsciously impressing them with Its efficiency in the present. Yours very truly, Tk(»IAS F.

District Attorney Fred J. Munder, who has represented Suffolk County as the member of the Board of Gov ernors of the Association of Young Re publican Clubs of New York State, Inc., called the meettaig. W. Klngsland Macy, Suffolk County RepuUloan Chairman, whole-hearted ly welcomed the support of the young Republicans In working for the elec tion of Wendell L.

The two representatives to at tend the convention are PoUce Justice C. Herbert Hendrlclcson of Babylon and Attorney David H. Glhnartin of South ampton.

This encroachment is under an appli cation to sink 30 more wells in Nas sau (3ounty near the Suffolk line; which will toe considered at hearings begin ning next month. The $2S,000-maximum, proposed on resolution by l^ookhaven Supervisor Edgar A. Sharp, was voted after the supervisors were informed that Nassau county could not share the expense of engineering assistance as proposed by the Suffolk board a week ago. Marcus G. Christ, deputy county at torney of Nassau, who was introduced at Rlverhead yesterday by Guy O. Walser, special counsel to the Suffolk board In the water battle, told the su- -w*- - \TT . . Potato Crop Fo‘r e ^ |t At Five Year Average G<(venun^ reports bn the late po tato crop i ^ ^ t e the IMO pr^uctkm at about 300 million' toi^els. tU s Is 1 per cent below last year’x etop and 2 per cent below the average of the past five years. The acreage of pota toes for this year Is larger than last year but yields are now estimated at somewhat below 1939. Large Increase In Maine Present indications are that the Maine crop will appn»dmate 46,135,000 bushels, m is Is 18 per cent above last year and 7 per cent idwve the five-year average. Production In New Ywk is estimated at 26,230,000 bushels which is 2 per cent betow last year and 4 per cent below the average of the last five years. Production In the central states Is less than last year and slightly toeknr the average of the last five years. Cool weather hi New England has retarded the crop generally, and In up-State New York potatoes are late and It ap pears that a long and favorable season wlU be needed to mature the cn^. In Pennsylvania the 9 rop Is very late m the northern counties and many grow ers report the rotting of seed In the wet soli. Idaho potatoes are well ad vanced and stands In fields are excel lent. Increased yields per acre indicate production of 20,760,000 bushels in 1940 compared with 28J(20,000 In 1939. Intermediate Production Increases Most recent estimates place the crop In the intermediate states of 34,465,000 bushels. This is 25 per cent above last year and 5 per cent above the five-year average. Growing conditions in these states have been better than last year and the yield per acre Is estimated at 117.5 bushels compared with 95.6 bushels ih 1939. Marketings continue heavy from the Eastern Shore area. The combined production of late, ta- termedlate and early potatoes In 1940 Is estimated at 371,263,000 bushels. This is 2 per cent above last year and no change from the 1035-1939 average. Weather conditions may still play an important part in determining the ac tual production because the late crop, which makes up about four-fifths of the total production, is still In the early stages of maturity and it Is very susceptible to changes In weather con- dlttans.-iJPy,M.

Sands, 48, of Lynbrook, a summer resident of East Marion, died last Saturday night as the result of falling backwards down the cellar steps of his East Marlim home. An Inquest was cwducted by Ooraner J. M.. Heath and death was pronounced accidental. Mr. Sanda waa a memlm of the Bushwiflk Avenue Oangiega- tional Ouirch. Brooklyn. N. T. He la aunrtved Dr Ua «sie and two daugbt«q, :|pi 0 rotby and Witli. pervisors that since 1933, Nassau coun ty has spent between $300,000 and $400,000 to prepare foi* resisting New York’s encroachment of Nassau’s wa ter resources. For this reason, Mr. CJhrist said, ttie Nassau Board of Su pervisors felt it could not enter Into any agreement at this time of shar ing the engineering expense with Suf folk. Under the plan to pay not more than $25,000 to the Ford, ^ux>n and Davis tom, the supervisors stipulated that this sum would Include specified per diem fees as follows: $150 a'day for expert engineers; $76 a day for senior engineers, and $40 a day fOT Junior engtaieers. The $500-a-month retains fee, it was understood, would cover the cost xtf bringlnv up to date the n s s report made to ttie Suffcdk board by And. Baton and Davis. It was O u tfit out at yesterday’s meeting that the 193 S report cost Suffolk about $33,000. The $25,000 figure voted yesterday is far below the priices quoted a t River- head a week ago by Ford, Bacon and Davis, which, at that time, said the firm’s minimum fee would be $42300, provided the work be concluded by De cember 31, 1940 and a ma«iimitn price of $67,000 if services of the firm would be required imtU December 31, 1941. Under the agreement approved by the Suffolk board. Ford, Bacon and Davis wlU represent Suffolk at the hearing of the Water Power and Con trol commission a t Mhie<da next month and a t all subsequent hearings on New York’s current application to draw on liong Island water resources. At yesterday's meeting, the board also re-appomted litr. Walser a s spe cial counsel for the board a t the com ing water hearings.
