Spence, who is now and long has been associated w ith the Fire Underwriters of New York and fu lly qualified to and urged all possible speed by the Town Board in doing something. Supervisor Smith said that he had been opposed to selling the land to Senator Reynolds at the tim e it was sold, because he did not think that M r. Reynolds’ promise should be made part of the purchase price, without any leg al way of m a king him enforce the con tract. Counselor Fishel said the citizens did not. care so much how the channel was cleared, as that it should be cleared somehow.

In 1912 w ith the Freeport High School he batted .456, fielded 1,000 and j stole eighty bases in tw e n ty games. He accepted 116 chances w ithout an error and cleaned the bases w ith six home runs. In 1913 w ith the F. H. S. and the Freeport Town team the bat ted .320 and fielded . 950. He also pitched in three games, winning all three. His chief success, however, was at second base.

Jeremiah Wood, counsel fo r the Committee, said that he had not had tim e to go into the law extensively, but he doubted very much i f the Town Board or the people of the Town by voting had any authority to spend money fo r im p roving their waterways. He suggested several methods by which proper authority m ight be se cured, but thought the best way was to have a b ill prepared and presented to the Legislature, g iving the Town authority to spend its own money. In answer to a question from Mr. Ellison, he said such a b ill could he passed, no one being interested outside of the Town, and there being no town sim i larly situated, in about two weeks. Remarks favoring the project were made by Clarence Edwards, M e lv in Bond, Joseph B u rtis of Hempstead and George C. Tatem, representing the Estates of Long Beach. The follow ing resolutions were un animously passed: Resolved, That afte r due considera tion the committee find that it is of the utmost importance that the w a ter ways referred to 'in the communication received by the Town Board from the Great South Bay Ferry Co. and others, should he dredged at an early date; therefore be it. Resolved, That this committee rec ommend to the Town Board i f the said Board has not the authority at this tim e to incur the expense to dredge its waterways, that proper legislation be enacted, authorizing said Town Board to spend a sum not exceeding $5000 in any one year, for the improvement of its waterways, said sum to be raised by general taxation. P ie resolution was offered by Ernest S. Randall, seconded by ex-Judge T a t em, and unanimously carried. M.
