ROCKVILLE CENTRE GIVEN BOOST AS LYNBROOK IS Newspaper of a Nef Community Makes Interest- ing Comparison, Showing Advantages of Municipally Owned Light and Power Plant Rockville Centre is given a big boost this week in a comparison made by the South Shore Press, former Presi- dent Howard's Lynbrook paper, which is a strong advocate of muddy-Hy owned light and water plants, provid- ed, of course, they can be as t- ly 'and profitably operated as is Rock- ville Centre's, The Press, in part, says: According to the recapitulation of the village of Rockville Centre's treas- urer's report, that village has a snug little balance of $31,567.91. Lynbrook plays second fiddle with $3424.51, - In Lynbrook about a month ago the board was compelled to borrow the sum of $7,000 on a note to meet the running expenses, yet the total bal- ance from funds is only $8425.51, less than hi the latest touch from the bank, which will have to be paid back with interest. Perhaps the most Interesting part of a comparison between the esti- mated amounts fixed by the village fathers of the incorporated villages of Rockville Centre and Lynbrook are items for light and water. In the former no taxes are charged agal the street lighting and fire hydrants. In the latter $18000 is charged for street lighting and $5,000 for fire hy- drants. Rockville Centre maintains its own electric light and water plants. Lyn- brook has to buy its water and elec- tricity. Surely an interesting deduc- tion can be made from these figures. The Lynbrook Board estimates that $72625. will have to be. raised by a tax levy on an assessed valuation of $3,400,000 last year. 'The Rockville Centre Board figures are $58,621 on | an assessed valuation of $6,349,372.45 of last year, } A. statement it is said, has been made by a candidate who is seeking reelection in Lynbrook that despite an increased assessed valuation the tax rate for 1923 will be at least $2.35 per hundred.

Cuff is president, has com- menced a drive for members. 'The area covered by the Club has been distributed and a large- committee headed by Vincent P. Moore of Frank- lin street, Hempstead, is at work. The membership at present has passed the 100 mark but the goal sought is 500. The Club's officers point with pride to the fact that the districts in the Vil- lage of Hempstead gave the Assembly candidate, Frank B. Taylor, a major ity of almost 400 over his Republican opponent. HEARING POSTPONED The public hearing on the petition of the South Hempstead taxpayers and residents for annexation of that territory to the incorporated village of Hempstead, scheduled to take place in the Town. Hall on Wednesday eve- ning of last week, was adjourned un- nesday evening of this week, March, 21, at the same place and hour, There was not a quorum of the members of the Town Board present at the hearing called for last Wednes- day evening, hence no action could be | taken. ADVOCATES MOVIE CENSOR REMOVAL Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, in Pulpit of Plymouth Church, Denounces the Present Law Laws placing a censorship over mo- tion pictures are a. reversion to the conditions from which the Puritans | fed to Americ« and are opposed to the | fundamental principles of democratic warn , the Rev. Dr. Newell ight lis, pastor of the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, said in his sermon recently. He preached on \The Great Need of Our. Country-Not More Laws, but a Revival of Conscience and the Spirit of Obedience.\ Dr. Hillis, who caused a stir 'at Al-, bany last Tuesday when he appeared before a. legislative committee and the repeal of the censorship law, said in his sermon that the place to cleanse motion pictures is in the studios where they are made, rather than by deletions and censorship aft- erward. *The descendants of the Puritans and the Dutchmen, whose fathers re- belled against the censors of James I dictating what ereed and govern- ment they should accept, find it hard, after three hundred years of freedom of press and speech to go back to the very thing from which their fathers fled,\ said Dr. Hillis. \Long ago the historian said that the American republic was the vision of John Milton in his plea for the lib erty of the printing press, set up in code and constitution. The genius of the republic is personal responsibility, individual excellence, 'The father and mother must rise up early and sit up late to teach the boy and girl to think for themselves, using the intellect; to weigh for themselves, using their judgment; to decide for themselves; using their own conscience and will.\ Want Ads Bring Results Cost 2 cents a word for first HOUSES WANTED OWNERS having up-to-date homes for sale, send particulars; buyers waiting.
