Their work along engineer- , .,. lag lines would have heen considered , ¦ impossible a few years ago , and i' - ' vthey are to be commended for the til ' . -remarkabl e way they have overcome ¦ ' • ¦ ¦every obstacle \ vhlch has presented v Itself in their great work. Picture In your mind , those of you . who haven 't se e n much of South ' ' Shore progress f» the last two fr ears , ( the great Causewa y leading to the • ' . ' - . new Jones Beach brid ge.

See the work being done on . the brid ges , approaches , etc., and then read the report of the Conser- , vatton Department of the State of New York and you will think that the land has been transformed by : . magic. f ' These road s and bridges will e pan the Great South Bay to Jones Beach , reaching easterly over Oak Island, to Cap Tree Island, and by ¦ ' . an arrangement with the officials of the town of Babylon the State re- tains the right of tray to carr y the •Ocean Boulevard over to Fire Isl- and. Eventuall y this Boulevard will meet the existing road and D r i dg e at We & tfiam pton , and then return to the mainland , thus mak- ing one ot the most beautiful Ocean Boulevards In the world. It Is h ard to realize how tew p eople who live on Long Island have ¦ever seen Fire Island or dreamed ' FORTUNES AWAIT INVESTORS IN SO. SHORE PROPERTY . Th e cfeagfe j I GOES 1 ¦ FARTHER I what a wonderful place it Is for a summer resort. With an average width of 1500 feet , the Glor - lous Great South Bay on ' ono side and the Atlanti c Ocean on the other. It meets with every Ideal looked tor by a, lover of seashore pleasure s . and pastimes. . The Bay and the Ocean ¦with its wonderful beach , offering the finest surf bathin g along the Coast. The development of. roads along this wonderful stri p of land Is a ¦work for- which the Long Island State Park Commission is to be gratefully commended as It will give the people of the State an \ o p - portunity of seeing and knowing more about Long Island than was ever possible before. The enjoy- ment possibilities for the peop le can only be imagined. ' The State is building a bathi ng pavilion to accommodate ten thous- »Ti rt n e oni e at a time, with parkin g spaces tor thirteen thousand cars. This is . bow being actually done west of Fire Island, and it is now proposed to cross the Inlet and ex- tend easterl y and eventually meet the road to connect with the West- hampton Bridge. This would make one of the most Inspiring rides In the country. We who have known and\ enjoyed the North Shore ' of [ Long Island , with Its bays aad the Sotmd, should, make an effort to see the progress along the South Shore , especially its Ocean beaches. We are bound to admit that there la a charm sod ap p eal to the ocean which cannot be found anywhere else. The wonderful breakers and'the r a asslve- ness ot the ocean ever leaves an in- spirin g impression upon those who gaze on it. Allow me to quote here from Ar- thur E. Rowland. Chief Engineer of the Long Island State Park Commis- sion in speaking of the Ocean Boulevard development on Long Island: \Ima gine a road skirting the breakers of the Atlantic Ocean oh one side and a few yards away the gentle waves of the Great South Bay. And It will be that way for miles. • It will be the greatest Ocean Boulevard in the world. \ In going east from the lighthouse the visitor Is greeted with the sur- p rise of seeing a. wonderful summer colony, Saltalre , with several hun- dred beautiful cottages , a f ew churches, stores , its own water works and Improvements which the people of the mainland do not dream exist over there.

Recently the business men and In- ve s . tors along the South Shore main- lan d have turned their eyes toward Fire Island and to Judge by the way they are accumulating all the avail- able land , they are now realizin g that the possibilities oi Ptre Island are well worth considering. Naturally with the help oe the State roads these lands will soon s k yrocket in value.

Furman. ajlowed three men, who pledged eullty last week to maintaining pub- lic nuisances , to escape jail with a fine by signing a pledge in which they promised to support tha con- stitution of the United States and New York and to refrain from traf- fic in liquor until and if the prohibi- tion laws are modified. The pledge -was composed by County Judge George H. Furman. The privilege of signing this (pledge , however , was restricted to those whose Indictments did not charge disorder ly conduct or Im- moralit y, and whose establishments were restricted to men only. A fourth defendant who pleaded guilty, and la whose wad louse at West Isllp It was alleged women were served liquor , was sentenced to e U months In the county Ja il.
