McLoughlin was read at Tuesday's Council meeting and re ferred to the ordinance committee; March 7, 1911. Hon. H. E. Colwell, Mayor. M y dear Sir:— I was obliged for the sake of morality and decency to make a public protest against certain oc currences at a recent masked ball in this city. I regret very much that some people have tried to make po litical capital out of this letter and I need scarcely assure you that such an idea never entered m y bead. T o prevent the recurrence of such a disgraceful performance, I respect fully ask the Board Of Aldermen (if it he in their power) to pass an or dinance forbidding the use of clerical or religious costumes at any public dances in this city; for the reason that they tend to shock decency, and are apt to create disorder, with far reach ing results, political and otherwise.

Ten local physicians appeared be fore the Board of Estimate at its meeting this week in an effort to in duce the board to double the salary of Dr. Edwin H. Codding, the health officer, and to increase the salary pf Dr. Carol T . Stevens, the inspector of schools. Dr. C. Nelson Raymond was the spokesman. Others present were Doctors Samuel B. Pray, William S. Emberson, Frank B. Littlewood, Al- pheus Hoyt. J. H. Fuqhsius, Bertrand F. Drake, Albert H . Moore and Chas. Ogilvy. Chairman Alexander McCrea and Frank W . Thurman were present representing the board of health. According to Dr. Raymond, Mount Vernon has four school inspectors at a salary of $35 a month each, amount ing to $1,680 per year. Here, there arc nine schools and 5,000 children to be looked after by one man. It was the belief of Dr. Fuchsius that for the work done by the health officer and school inspector, these officers get the pay of errand boys. No Funds Available, Says Mayor. M ayor Colwell said he appreciates j the situation, but there are many em ployes of the city who should get salary increases. The administration, he said, is trying to keep down the tax rate this year, and there can be no further increases at this time. He said every department of the city has been skinned down to au appropria tion hardly adequate for its needs. He said he knows Dr. Codding and Dr. Stevens are efficient officers, but the committee o f physicians seemed to. be magnifying the men and not the positions. No action was taken by the Board o f Estimate on the request for salary increase. PR E M IU M P O I N T PA R K . The New Y o r k Central Realty Company has practically completed its improvement o f Premium Point Park, their water frorit development bn the Boston Post Road.

The house which the Company is erecting on a plot 150x300 at a cost, not including the land value, of $45,- 000 is rapidly nearing completion and sales have been made which insure the erection of two or three houses in the early spring. This development promises to take high place among thc fine residential parks of New Ro chelle. H U G U E N O T S SE R V E TEA .

L . Barnard, George E. Edwards and Albert E. Davis. Library and Court House Sites Committtee Opines That Law ton Street Property is Best Adapted for a Court House. The committee on public improve ments, including Councilmen John H . Troy, Edward W. Davidson and Harry Scott, have made the following report on sites to the Council: Hon. Council, City o f New Rochelle: As to site for new court house and police station, your committee has carefully gone over and discussed the different sites offered and suggested and is is of the opinion that the site of the present fire house on Lawton street is best adapted for the purpose in question. The location is central and the city already owncs the pro perty. W e see no reason why the city should buy other property when this is lying idle. The lot ill question, however, is too small, and we there fore recommend that thc adjoining property, cither on \the north or on the south, bc purchased. The proper ty on the south is owned by the Hon. John J. Crennan, and he has offered it to the city for $12,250. The lot i* 40 feet wide by 138 feet deep, and it will be seen therefore, that the ask ing price is substantially at the rate of $300 per front foot. The property on the north is 60 feet wide by about same depth, and asking price is $ 20 ,- 000 and we recommend, the immediate purchase o f one or the other of these properties. The city will then own a lot 70 or 90 feet wide by 138 feet deep, and large enough for a suitable, build ing. Third, as. to a library site. As in the preceding case ypur committee has carefully gone over and discuss ed the different sites offered and sug gested, and is o f the opinion that one of ' the three following sites is best adapted for the purposes considering the prices asked: (1) The property on the south s ide of Main street opposite the First Presbyterian Church and known as part of the Rumsey property. (2) The Prysr property in the rear of that property, fronting on M apie avenue. (3) The property on the west side of Centre avenue, between the Church of the Blessed Sacrament and the Parochial School. The asking price is $22,500 for a plot 100x162 or $23,500 for a plot 100x192. The Main street property is 140 feet wide by about 178 feet deep and tiie asking price is $25,000, The Maple avenue property is 170 feet wide by 245 feet deep,, and the asking price is $25,000.. W e believe that the Maple avenue property is not worth oyer $100 per front foot on Maple avenue and that thc city should not pay over that figure. If, therefore, the owners would accept $17,000 for the property, with perhaps a fair additional allow ance for thc extra depth, that the city should buy it rather than the Centre avenue property, solely because of the smaller size o f the Centre avenue lot. If not, however, wc favor the Centre avenue plot, H O R N E T S W A N T GAM E S. The Hornets A. C. baseball team of this city would like to arrange games with ail teams in Westchester County averaging 18 to 20 years— Emeralds, Walnuts, Sycamores preferred. Communications should be sent to Joseph Mancusi, Manager, 110 W ash ington avenue, or Captain Charles Sa mela, care Pioneer office. So far the Hornets have all dates open. — Tuckahoe Italians are to erect a Catholic Church at Marbledale at a cost of $15,000. Thc new pastor for the present will be Rev. Father Lo- jacoro, the assistant to the Rev. Fr. McCormack of thc Church of the Im maculate Conception. SP R I G H T L Y P E O P L E Are always popular and deservedly so.
