McCabc, o r Middle Road , Riverhead , was robbed of\ $1 , 800 last Saturday night by a clever thief , .(who had made a: very pleasing; impression upon Navelenski by his suave and friendly manner. The stranger , whose name is un- known lo Navelenski , first fame to If-hc lalter ' s home at Middle Road j three weeks ago and told Mike that he would like to buy his small farm. I Navelenski mentioned the fac t to hi- j employer and Met ' a be warwrf him , not to have any further dealings with j the stranger whom McCabe had seen [ about the Navelenski place and whose suspicions had been aroused that the : man probably was scheming to obtain money from Mike. Navelenski scoffed at the idea , -declaring that the . -trar.g- [ or was a fine fellow. The stranger tame to Mike ' s hoim: 1 again on Friday and further discusn- (ed \ with him the matter of purrhus- |ing the property, pay ing a deposit of I.?200. The same day Navelenski was j paid $1 , 800 that he had loaned on a I mortgage. Instead of depositing the money as advised by an official of one 'of the Rivcrhead banks , Mike said he guessed he would carry it around a [ day or two just to see how it felt to have so much money in his pocket 1 - . The stranger paid Navelenski another visit Saturday night on this occasion told him about a wonderful devi ¦¦ < ¦ I).. had for duplicating paper money. The stranger exhibited a press , ' which consisted of two pieces of board eov- jcred ¦ with plush , which were fastened j j together by bolts.

Lightin g Com- pany Off Land. — Rights Violated , Says Commission . The \Battle of the Poles , \ waged between the Long Island State Park Commission and the Long Island Lighting Company and the lalter ' s subsidiary, the Kast Hampton Electric Lighting Company, has JJOW begun. In a lengthy statement , reviewing the .argument over the cutting down 'if the light company ' s poles in Mon- taa!. .S' ato Park, the Pa rk CornmiK- ¦ don says that an action has been .ornincnccd by the St' .t tc against the Long Island Lighting ' Company: and the Kast Hampton Electric Lighting Company and their construction com- pany for damages caused by the al- leged trespass. Two weeks ago the lighting coin - puny discovered that 8ff wooden poles on the former property of the . Benson • ¦ state, seized for a State park , had hfon chopped down. They charged ihat the State t' arh^fiemmission had, without proper ' right , chopped dow n the poles, the lighting company claim- ing a right-of-way from the Benson i estate thai, antedated the seizure of [ the land for park purposes; Furlher- i more , the light company claims , as | ' .he Benson estate is contesting the . seizure of this propert y in the courts , that the Park Commission had no right to chop down the poles. In a statement issued by attorneys for the Long Island State Park Com- I mission it is said that without con- | suiting the Park Commission some I persons cut a (iO-foot swath through j Ji grove of trees in clearing -a right- | of-way for the . -poles; that ' counsel for the East Hampton Kloctric Lighting Company admitted that the tres- passers had no right to cuter upon the property, and that the poles were. cut down \ when the Commission saw that it could hot rely upon the word of the lighting company. \ ' \ \The land on which the East Hamp- ton Klcctric Lighting Company, \ says j the Long Island State Park Commis- jsion ' s statement , \ cut and removed i trees and erected a line of temporary j wooden electric light poles, is public ( park land , of the .

Heads of most of the count y de- partments have asked the\ Board of Supervisors to grant salary increases to a number of employees in their re- spective-offices. The Supervisors hold an executive session on Monday for the purpose of discussiiig the salary increases and they devoted about an hour to consideration of the subject, but . deferred action until their . \ . nex t regular'meeting, on Monday, October 25. Surrogate Robert S. Pelletrcau per- siinaly appeared before the. board and requested that the nine members of his staff be given salary increases. Judge Pelletrcau said it was the first. time he had ever come before the board on such a mission and that he did so on that occasion only for the reason that he desired to . continue the efficiency of his office and keep it/ up- to-date. He told the board it was very important to have the work of the Surroga te ' s Court done efficiently and expeditiously and tha t in order to accomplish that end it was neces- sary to have competent help. He was unstinted in his praise ' of all the members of his staff and he expressed a keen desire that they be more ade- quately compensated. In referring to John D. >!iallock, chief clerk of the Surrogate ' s Court , Judge Pelletrcau said Mr . Hallock had been with him for about three months and that his work had been highly commendatory. Mr. Hallock receives a salary of $2, 500 per annum and Judge Pelletrcau believed _ He should be increased to $4 , 000. Ite ' cx- p lainod that the duties of clerk were such that it required a trained lawyer to properly attend to them and thal it was necessary for him to devote all of his time to the position.

Whereas , the.Brightwaters company lacks equipment and moral support, of the village president in contraven- tion to the duties of his office , and Whereas , the said village president, has , in a manner unbecoming a village officer , in formal open meeting the Brightwaters , unfairly criticized the (ire company and its members , and Whereas, the residents of the sec- tion of Brightwaters , not°in the tiro district , have always enjoyed fire, pro- tection out cf-courtcsy and enthusiasm of the Bay Shore Fire Department without pay therefor , and Whereas , the Village of Bright- • waters ' in p lanning to divorce itself j (Continued on page 2) Find Day-Old Infants Body Alongside Patchogue Greek Shortly before . dark on Saturday evening two small Patchogue boys , Robert Dion and Irving Cleaves, both IB years of age , while rowing iri Swan creek helow the bridge at Swczey street , found the body , of a di.y-olil white male baby tied up in a paper 'bundle , 'i n the bushes along shore.
