Supervisor S. Wentworth Hor ton called the gathering to order and briefly outlined the subject matter of the meeting. Miss Ruth Tuthill of New Suf folk was elected permanent chair man and Russell L. Davison sec retary. Th^ matter of aid by the South- old Town Board and highway de partments was briefly explored.

Sewer Project -lain Issue Of Election Miss Ruth Dohm of Mattituck, who left last Thursday for the Methodist Hospital In Brooklyn, where she will pursue her nurs ing* ambitions. Miss Dohm was graduated from the Mattituck High School last spring as the president of her class. She was a member of the Girls’ Varsity basketball team, and active in other school activities. Offerings of potatoes here were moderate this week and demand was dull with prices about un changed. There was an absence of speculative demand and move ment through jobbing stores was slow and in light volume. Little interest was manifested in Long Islands, with North side growers asking $1.50 per bag for No. 1 Green Mountains while the South sides were being held at $1.60. Well informed operators expressed the opinion that the re maining stock on the Island will last well into March. Maine potatoes continued in light supply with demand, moder ate and buyers interested mostly in two inch minimum stock. Ship ments from Maine last week were 500 cars below those of the cor responding week last year. Growers continue optimistic as to future values. Asking prices were $1.60 and $1.65 f. o. b. for two inch minimum and $1.55 and $1.57 for U. S. No. 1 delivered. Receivers feel that the lower freight rates which are expected to become effective the early part of next week will cause the mar ket to tend lower.

John Kluge, former Mayor of the villiage, and Oscar Goldin, well known furniture merchant, have been persuaded by residents of the villiage to throw their hats into the campaign against the re- election of Mayor Ansel V. Young and his running mates, Trustees Charles Wooley and Harry Sweet. The Municipal sewer system that has been shelved by the pres ent Mayor and his board of trust ees for several years was forced to start work on the sewer thr ough an edict of the State Board of Health. Young has informed Greenport- ers that the State Health Dep irtr ment, after several years of side stepping the order of the state, was forced to consummate the sewer project under the threat of having the local waters con- demmed due to pollution which would have destroyed Greenport’s principal industry, the oyster business. Working under a WPA^^^^o^\ ment of approximately 70 per cent of the cost, th4 new system is about 60 percent completed and up to the present time the cost of construction has been below the engineers estimates, it was said by backers of Mayor Young.
