(Special to the Eagle.) Patchogue, L. January 19 The Suffolk County folks are still ahead of the Brooklyn in the water game. It had been reported from Brooklyn that the Suffolk County Supervisors had failed to comply with the specifications of the Burr Law designating the streams of the county necessary for the supply of pure and wholesome water to its people, but a careful perusal of the proceedings and records of the board revealed the fact that the Suffolk County officials had not been caught napping. Shortly after the Legislature passed the bill in 1896, the Supervisors appointed a committee of their own number. Supervisors Skinner and Hulse, to wait upon the Governor and petition him to sign the bill, which he dia.

The general supposition that has prevailed in the minds of the people Is that the Burr law was a simple provision preventing the Borough of Brooklyn from entering Suffolk County for its water supply, but there was a number of special provisions, with which the Supervisors were to comply before the law really became operative. The Burr law which is officially known as chapter 942, laws of 1S96. specified that the supervisor of Suffolk County should, by a majority vote enter upou the minutes of its proceedings, the streams and ponds within the county necessary for a supply of pure and wholesome water to Its people, and that a certificate to that effect, duly signed by the chairman and clerk of the hoard, should be filed in the office of the clerk. The certificate in question should also include a description of each pond and stream, the town in which it is located, name and address of the last owner or owners and the names and addresses of owners of lands adjoining thereto, and when these provisions were complied with then it shall not be lawful for any perBon, corporation or municipality to take water from the ponds and streams thus designated. At the meeting of the Supervisors on October 27, 1896, the committee reported the exempted streams, and the report was duly tiled in accordance with the Burr act.

The ponds and streams thus designated are as follows: Pond No 1 Ireland's Tond. Town of Babylon. Pond No. '2 Kord's Pond. Town of Bahylon.

TO BE PUT ON THE MARKET SOONJ Over $4,000,000 Worth of Property Has Been Secured by a Stogie Firm in the last Few Years. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L.

January 19 In spite of a seeming inactivity in real estate matters In the Borough of Queens during the past year, there has been a quiet movement going in the way ot picking up farm parcels and' large tracts in the old Town of Jamaica by strong buyers and able real estate handlers, and in arranging them for their sale in building lots that will probably develop in the spring Into a movement of great activity and Many large transactions will at that time. come to the surface and show that the march of development along the backbone of Queens from Brooklyn to the Nassau County line Is to be a rapid and spirited one. and that in from five to ten years this entire section 'Will be covered with hundreds of handsome residences that will fix its character for all time to come as one of the choicest residence sections of the City of New York. It is the concurrent opinion of leading real estate men of Manhattan and Brooklyn that the city must grow out this way. T.

P. Archer, a real estate dealer of Jamaica, says: "Manhattan and Brooklyn real estate dealers are continually coming out this way and making inquiries of me as to property to be bought for residential purposes and sales are continually being made on the quiet to big purchasers. "It has come to be so now that you have ot to build up a neighborhood so as to guarantee the kind of neighbors, if you are to have your movement a success. The day has gone by when you can run a plow through the middle of a farm and sell off lots to anybody either side of the furrow. Much more capital is now required.

You have to put in sewers, gas, electric light, curbs and sidewalks and shade Cres before you can sell a lot. Your streets must be 60 feet wide with sidewalks 10 feet wide on either side, according to city regulations, and it is better to put a few first class houses to start the sale of lots. All this takes a lot of money and only wealthy, strong operators, can do this. But they double and treble their money on their lots. "Jamaica town with Its fine sower works to be completed in the spring and its first class water, gas, electric light works and its fine schools and abundance of fine building Bites and large tracts of improved farm land in the vicinity of its trolley lines and the Long Island Railroad depots, offers an unexampled opportunity for the best type of a building boom.

Wheeler Bros, of 16 Court street, Brooklyn, the largest dealers in Queens County farm property, speaking of that section of the backbone of Long Island in Queens County, extending from the Brooklyn Borough line eastward for a distance of tea miles, say: "This high, well drained tract and the table land back of the ridge from which a view may be had of Long Island Sound and the ocean, Is undoubtedly the finest residence section of the future of the City of New York. This is the only section in which New York can now quickly and easily develop at a moderate cost of moneyi time and. effort. It is better than the Oranges in New Jersey In every way. "The entire section is bisected by a broad and substantially built macadam highway, Union avenue, which, with Metropolitan avenue and North Second street in Brooklyn, form a continuous and straight boulevard for ten miles out from the New East River Bridge.

"The absolute impossibility of getting at it by any of transit kept it up to the last two or three years in farms or wild land, which kept it down to a price to be 8andlPd in bulk as farm property. This has made it possible for us to combine three plots of over 500 acres each within the past ten or twelve years. One of these plots comprising the 650 acres of Forest Park was in 600 different pieces, partly in Jamaica and partly in Newtown, and was got together by us at a cost of $1,250,000. "In the territory stretching along the top of the hills toward Creedmoor we have collected other tracts of 500 acres and upwards. The enormous quiet dealings in Queens County have put that county in a condition for a legitimate residence property.

"We have spent nearly $4,000,000 In acquiring property In that coun" and it has nearly all been bought as farm land. "We laid out a large tract north of the Jericho turnpike at Queens, between the terminus of the trolley line and the Long Island Railroad station, last spring, and we have already sold to customers coming into our office without any solicitation on our part, 220 lots out of 300, the number which we offered for sale. These lots are located on Wood, Hultz, North AVertland and Kelsey avenues, and Linden, Hendrickson and Pleasant streets. Most of them have been sold for cash and most of them in blocks. There were no mortgages left on these plots.

They are all to be improved during the year 1901. "The improvement that tract will complete the line of improvements for a distance of two miles north of the Jericho turnpike into the heart of the Town of Flushing." There is a tract of about 2,500 lots immediately south of the Long Island Railroad tracks, including South Hollis and West Queens, that is surrounded by city improvements, and is all ready to be supplied with these improvements at the slightest touch, aria" this tract is being conserved lor the very highest class of residents. During the past year about thirty six acres belonging to Alexander" Campbell was sold to a Brooklyn real estate operator for $100, 000. This tract has been laid out into streets, and water and gas and electric lights have been carried through the property, which is within a mile of the former Jamaica Village line. Jacob S.

Lawson, who paid $200,000 for the 140 acres the De Grauw property north of Hillside avenue and west of Flushing avenue, opposite the Jamaica Normal School, has rounded out his purchase by buying, through the agency of T. F. Archer, several gore pieces adjoining the King property. It is ln 'tended to open up broad streets through this entire tract and to offer a fine lot of building sites on an elevation right in the heart of Jamaica, not far from King Park, on the south, Forest Park on the west and the Jamaica Normal School property, with its beautiful park front, on the opposite side ot Flushing avenue to the east. This entire tract will be sewered, guttered and.

flagged and lighted with gas or eloc trtclty. These lots will insure first class residences and will probably be restricted as to the character of the buildings. T. F. Archer is to open up, next spring, a piece of 20 acres at Queens, north of the Jericho turnpike, near the trolley terminus, and 10 acres just south of the Queens depot or tne jong xsiana nanroaa.

There are a few tracts to be developed in I the south side of the Town of but i the tide of inquiry seems to be directed at present along the north side of the Jericho turnpike and a stretch, immediately south of the Long Island Railroad. At Richmond Hill, Brooklyn Hills and Union Course there are no large tracts to he had, but the Joel S. Fowler Real Estate Company say that there Is a considerable demand for lots for improvement. Forty or fifty houses will be started In the sprlnc, and the houses built in this section cost from $2,500 to $10,000 each. Lots 25x100 are selling at from $250 to $1,500 each.

THREE NEW ENTERPRISES. Sag Harbor Breakwater, Patchogue Channel and STorthville Breakwater His Trophies. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. January 19 Congressman Townsend Scudder. whose term of office is now drawing to a close, has been emin.ently successful in securing appropriations for three new enterprises in his district, comprising Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties: He has secured an appropriation of 570,000 for building a breakwater at Sag Harbor, with J1O.0OO for this year, to start on.

He: has also secured $60,000, with $20,000 for immediate use, for the digging of a channel 200 feet wide and 12 feet deep across Great South Bay, from Fire Island Inlet to Patchogue. He has also got an appropriation for a survey of Luce's Landing. Northville, for the purpose of making an examination into the feasibility of building a breakwater for the protection of the great iron pier built by the farmers of Southold Town as a landing for steamers on their way through the Sound, from Eastern ports to New York City. It is thought that the start will insure the undertaking of the work. Congressman Scudder has also secured liberal continuing appropriations for fhe works now under way.

His success as a Democratic member in a Republican Congress, in these matters, is' considered somewhat remarkable. He is now instructing Frederick Storn, Congressman elect, who has been in Washington for several days, in some of the ways of the House. "The First District has reason to he proud of its line of representatives in Congress for some time past," said a well known citizen of the district. "Where can we find a man more eminent in national affairs than Governor Richard C. McCormick, who not only attended faithfully and honorably to the wants of his dis trict, but was a power in national affairs.

Perry Belmont, who preceded him, had a national reputation. Mr. Scudder has pursued an honorable, upright course, setting aside partisanship and sustaining the administration in its financial policy and its dealings with foreign affairs. "What we need to strengthen our influence in the House is to send our Representatives to Washington for several terms in succession. This policy is what gave the Southern States such an overpowering advantage in national affairs before the war and what has given New England such an ascendancy for the past forty years in the national legislature." A list of the Representatives of the First Congressional District of New York, from the first formation of the government up to the present time shows many men of national reputation, including Governors, Supreme Court judges, eminent bankers, lawyers and other dignitaries.

In the first four congresses the whole State of New York was represented by Congressmen at large, there being no separation into districts. Long Island was represented in those national representative councils held in the period from the first, formation of the government. 17S0 to 1797, by William Floyd, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Tredwell and Jonathan N. Havens.

In the Fifth Congress the districts were divided and the First District was represented by Jonathan N. Havens, who died during his term of office. The district has been represented since that time by tho following members, In the Congresses denoted by the numbers follow ing the names: John Smith, 7, Ellphalrt WU kes, 9: Samuel Hiker. 10: Enenezer Sase.

It is planned to have each of the new buildings two room structures and they, will lemDprarlly relieve the pressure upon the central echool building, which is now filled to overflowing. Some of the more thoughtful voters of the say that larger buildings should be provided, as hardly a year would elapse before the new buildings would be Insufficient. The district now has 800 children and 20 teachers.

THE LONG ISLAND SMITHS; Ingenious "Way the Various Families Adopted to Tell T'other From Which. A good story is told at the expense of the Long Island Smiths by a census enumerator, years ago, before so many new settlers had come in. He fell into the habit of asking at each place he stopped the name of the next householder beyond, and invariably met with the response, Smith. "Bless me," said he at length to a long, lank old inhabitant, "are you all Smiths down here?" "I'll tell you how 'tis, Squire," said the old man. "There is a pretty considerable lot of us Smiths on the island and no mistake.

There i was Tangier Smith that the British government thought so well of thoy give him a grant of pretty much all the present Town Brookhaven. Then there was Bull Smith, who made a swap with the Indians of a few i beads and red coats for all the land his brindle bull Sam could trot round in a day. One family of us is known as the John Rock Smiths, because its ancestor used a big boulder for the rear wall of his house. Another line is called the Jonathan Black Smiths, because its ancestor was as dark complected as an Indian. Still another family is known as the Block Smiths from the fact that their founder had a big horse block before his door, and another as the Weight Smiths, because their ancestor owned the first set of weights and measures in the settlement.

"But, bless you, we're nothing as bad off as they were in Patchogue a few years ago. There were actually five William Smiths livlnc there at one time not a mile apart, either. But the people got around that, too. One of them owned a peacock, the only one of the five that did. and he became 'Peacock Bill Smith': another invented an improved kind of wheelbarrow with three wheels, and he was known all his days as 'Wheelbarrow Bill Smith'; the third lived on a point projecting into the bay and he was called 'Point Bill': a fouth was a famous diver and he was named 'Submarine nnd the fifth was allers called 'Eleven Dollar for this reason: "He was clerkin' in a store and when one i day a woman nave him a (wo dollar bill to pay for her tradin' he prave her back ten dollars and fifty cents in change.

The boss got onto I it and he said that he mistook the two Homan I numerals II in a corner far the figure eleven." HEY IN SOUTH AFHICA. i Whitestone. L.
