The companies from the far distant villages were early on the road. - Be: hind the sparkling . clean - apparatus came various kinds of motor vehicles, bearing the members and friends of the companies.

Mott, of Roosevelt, has applied to Justice James C. Cropsey, in Supreme Court, for a writ of mandamus to compel Earl J. Bennett, Comptroller of Nassau County, to put him on the payroll of the: county 'and certify\ to him as court attendant for Supreme Court here. Mott was appointed court attendant in Nassau County by Justices Jaycox and Strong, both resident justices of Suffolk County but the Board of Super- visory: and Comptroller: Bear! Bennett have never. recognized him as an ap- pointee of the county nor has he ever been paid for his services. Mott, in 1917, then a resident of Suffolk County took an examination for Court attendant in that county. He won a place on the appointment list. A vacancy occurred in the court at- tendant's job in- Supreme Court in this county. when Justice Townsend Seud der was defeated for re-election last year and his attendant, John J. Dunn, was found a berth in. the Appellate Diiston. It is generally supposed that the then Justice Scudder found a plate for his henchman in the higher court because it was not likely that a Demo cratic appointee would long. hold his place if a Republican justice was elect- ed in Nassau County, It is the cus- tom for judges to appoint, because of the confidential nature of the position, someone whom they know and trust implicitly. The law provides that realdent justice may.. appoint a court attendant but Comptroller Bennett contends that- Nas- sau County has no resident Justice and because of that judges in another coun- ty, although in the same Judicial dis- trict cannot appoint a man as court at- tendant to a judge who does not exist. The position of court attendant in Nassau County would be much of. a snap since Justice Scudder. retired, hurry into chambers just before court im called and leave the: bench, court and county, for the. most part the min- ute ourt adpjourns for the day. Supreme Court in Nassau County ends in May, usually, and does not start again until October.

Last year's rate wif of the former year. The Town Board is also pleased that this condition has been brouht about without impairing the efficiency of. the public 'serviee, and that it is the result of the endeay of all the members to obtain a dollar's worth for every dollar raised in taxes + The tentative budget -was completed at yeterday's meeting of the. Town Board; and will be formally adopted following the public hearing to be held as provided by law, on September 6. | At that meeting any (Axpayer may offer objections to any item, after which the Board will finally pass upon . the amounts.
