Village Officials Inspect Tarrytown Fire Quarters Find Rodin In Excellent Condition W ith Fete Excep tions; Frey Praises Department And Its Spirit Charles A. Yaeger, president of tho Elmsford’ Square Club, recom mended to the Board of Trustees las£ night that they consider the clubs rooms on Stone Avenue for tho proposed new M unicipal Build ing. Mi'. Yaeger requested in his let ter to the Board th a t in view o f the fact that the Board of T rustees is planning to move the village offices to larger quarters, th a t tho hall now owned by the Elm sford Square Club be considered. Yaeger claimed that the value of th e property ac cording to the village assessm ent roll was $4,500. The Board moved to tak e no fur ther action on the m a tter until April when the lease on the T a r r y town Road property expires. The Elmsford Board of Trustees last night passed a motion sanction ing their local Fire D e p artm ent to move their (ire apparatus to T a r r y town for the Firem e n ’s parade Thursday. An invitation was ex tended a t tho sam e tim e to the Board to appear in the parade a s an escort to the Elmsford F ire D e p art ment. The Board accepted th e in vitation. The Butler-Johnson Tost, Ameri can Legion of Klmsford last night extended an invitation to the Board of Trustees of Elm sford to attend tho installation of new officers on Oct. 23 at Square Club Hall. Cliaun- cey T. Fish, County Commander, of 17 5 Main Avenue, W hite Plains, will conduct the installation. An unusual request came to the Elmsford Board of Trustees last night in a letter from M ary B. Kies of South Lawn Avenue, Elmsford. She \seeks permission to trim tho trees in front of her house be cause they interfere with the sun.” The letter w.is referred to Superin tendent of W ater W o rks, W illiam Bunselmyer of Klmsford who said that, \He didn't know much about trees but that he would do his best in the m atter.’’ The llov. Father Jam e s H ackett. pastor of tlie Catholic C h u rch of Elmsford, recommended to the Board of Trustee* last night that Hillside A\cmie lie closed during tho noun hour to provide a play area for school children. The section of the ttroet th a t he recommended closed is lietween the Tarrytow n Road and Barney Street. He further recommended th a t a sign reading \No through traffic” be set up at each end of the block. The Board referietl tlie m a tter to tho Corporation Counsel, l'iocco Leoni. Headed by Fire Chief Lawrence- T. Gross a 11 d assistants William Vincent and J. H arry Ledgett, M ayor Eugene H. Lehman and his Board of Trustees last night were shown every firehouso in the vil lage on an inspection tour. The firehouses in most instances were found in good condition. Tho a p paratus inspection will be made t o night. Besides the fire engineers and Mayor Lehman, the inspection party consisted o f Fire Commissioner A rthur Frey, Trustees James Bushelj W illiam II.

There Consolidated Engine Com pany was visited. The board in spected the entire house. Tho halls and apparatus room were found to bo in need of painting. The lai-ge meeting room on the second floor which the hoard had decorated this year looked well. The board also was delighted with the fine set of furniture nnd rugs which the com pany bought in furnishing t h e house. Of particular notice w a s t h e room set aside for the Ladies' Aux iliary which the company is about to establish. The village furnished the paint and the members painted the room.

As I read on the remarkable story I could not help but ? wonder what super newspaperman had gathered the ma- \ terial for the article and as through a mist of tears, not of sorrow, I thought it over, and I recall the statement at- f tached to many reports made up by certified public ac countants which read “ We do not guarantee the facts in * this report. They were furnished to us and we have not ; verified them.” And then another picture to mind. It’s a story of the ; Old Testament. In the Book of Daniel, second chapter, verses 31 and 32, with special reference to the feet. The first episode in the story starts with the youth of the Crusader. “When young Eugene’s baby eyes espied \ in the grass an attractive glistening creature wrigglinjf towards him and the child responded by crawling towards the object of his fascination.” And then came the good mother and killed the rattle snake. With that picture before my eyes I could not help but wonder if the fascination of babyhood had not bridged the years to the present day and we have the Iron Man crawl ing towards another striped creature, the well-fed, well- striped Tiger of Tammany and we can see the contact man, Mr. Harry Foley, of Yonkers, bringing the Iron Man of Tarrytown and the Tammany Tiger together and now there * is no mother in the picture to step between the baby and the tiger. How do we know there is any connection between the Tarrytown Democracy and the Tammany Tiger? On Oc tober 7 the Tarrytown Daily News carried a story on the front page of more than local interest in view of the can didate’s repeated denunciations of bossism and we garner from that article \Levitan Says He’s Lehman’s Ticket Cam paign Boss, But Local Democrats Refuse to Accept Him as Such Until Notified of Appointment by Harry T. Foley.\ Isn’t it a well known fact and haven’t your associations with the Democratic Party proven to you that Harry Foley is-, the man who represents not only the Democracy of the County of Westchester but the Tammany interests in the’ j County and in the Town? Isn’t it a fact that you have travelled with Mr. Foley for some months as a recognized helper and mouthpiece for the Democratic rallies in the Towns of Ossining, Mount Pleasant and Cortlandt with or for Mr. Foley? Dear “Iron Man,” it is no intention on the part of the writer to find fault with Mr. Foley or his friendship for the Democratic Party of New York City. He is a young man and well liked. He conducts an undertaking business in j the City of Yonkers and has many friends and is well re- j garded notwithstanding his political affiliation with Tam many. And be assured that the undertaking business in New York is not without its profitable side for isn’t it a fact that only recently a respected member of Tammany ! appearing before Judge Seabury to explain his $600,000 cf bank deposits said he got it out of the undertaking busi ness and the livery stable. Is it your intention to apply the business methods so profitable to the leaders of Tammany to the Town of Greenburgh if you are successful under Harry Foley’s poli- ' tical tuition? Nobody can deny from the statements made by Tam many leaders that great profits accrue from politics in the city to the south of the Yonkers line. In the so-called crusader article which has attracted this comment mention is made of the Iron Man's business and financial success. That, of course, is outside of poli tics and commendable and pleasant reading. We all want to know that our friends and neighbors are prosperous, but would you consider it a good thing in your business to discharge those associated with you who had served hon estly, faithfully and efficiently, whose knowledge was valuable to you simply because they had served many years? So after all isn't the machine statement on your I part just political bunk made to attract votes with no thought of offering improvement? Isn’t it a fact that under the men who are now holding office the town has grown tremendously, has received many improvements and the tax rate has been kept way down and isn’t that in the inter est of the people, yourself and others? Isn't it a fact that the Greenburgh Town Government is looked upon through out the county and the state as something to approve and to copy? In writing this letter it is the intention of the writer to continue day by day other letters to call the attention of the Crusader Iron Man to much that is harmful to the town and village because of loose talking, wild statements and so-called joking. Slander is a serious matter. Newspapers know it and sometimes are the unwitting sufferers from it. Towns and counties suffer from it. We will touch upon specific instances later and think we.can prove to the satis faction of all honest men and women that an official’s first duty is to the people and he owes it to the community in which he lives to boost and not to knock down, to praise Mid not to slander. (To be continued). Signed. SUNNYSIDE. (Advertisement) * li - il f 1
