'Dr. William Carr, Chairman Republican County Committee, Centre Moriches: 'Dear Sir Your notice of a public meeting to be held next Tuesday evening to get a full expression of opinion In regard to the post office matter is at hand. To say that this is a surprise to me is putting It mildly.

At a conference with lr. Piatt and me at your office about two weeks ago you stated that you would take no action without conferring with us first. And yet 3Wu have adopted this course upon the mere request of our op uceanside, Dora took the call and hear; guiaen voice and perhaps the fam ganized In Far Rockaway, but none of them remained in existence for any length of time. Local Democrats have long realized the necessity for a permanent organization of some kind and the present movement Is plainly an effort to supply this want. The leaders of the new movement state that the Culluloo Club has never ceased to exist, In spite of its passive attitude during the past two years, and assert that it Is their belief that more can be accomplished by reviving the old organization than by attempting to form a new one.

With this purpose In view, a letter Is to be circulated among the local Democrats requesting their presence at a meeting to be held at Imperial Hall, Far Rockaway, on Friday evening, when the Lanou wan uv iucilud a avfivouu tatlve Republican vote. Wilson Riteh, editor of the Port Jefferson Times, was the first speaker to Indorse Mr. Brown, and he urged his reappointment on two grounds first, the fact that he had proved a most excellent postmaster, and, second, that his remaining In office was, the only means of preserving harmony In the rankB of the Republicans in the Third and Fourth election districts of the town of Brookhaven. Mr. Riteh said ho did not believe that tho vote was representative of the majority of Republican sentiment.

Attorney George E. Darling pointed out that Mr. Brown's petition bore the names of practically all the doctors, lawyers, ministers and business men of the village. Squires Says He Doesn't Want to Be Party Leader. Charles A.

Squires stated that what had been said regarding the indorsement of Postmaster Brown by the member ot the Business Men's Association not representing the sentiment of the entiro body was untrue, and he went on to show that out of the 83 members 61 had gona on record as supporters of Brown, cither at the meeting or by signing their names to his petition. Squires denied that hf was aspiring to the leadership of the party and stated that he was not a candidate for supervisor, as had been stated. He hinted at double dealing in the election, but said that ho would make no charges of a personal nature in the tncet- Among the other speakers who made pleas for Mr. Brown were Gilbert Toper, a number of farmers had banded to gether and tried the experiment of sell ily secrets.

The borough presidents do not want to have such a situation created, and at the conference next Thursday they will meet the representatives of the corporation counsel and the controller and learn If there Is not some tfay out of the difficulty. In tho meantime. Borough President Connolly Is having the resolution redrawn, providing for the road repairs la Queens. is also having amendments made to the specifications for the work to be done.

The value of advertising by the farmer was enlarged on by the speaker. He told his audience that farmers wore proverbially modest, and they were not Inclined to tell the rest of tho world of the good things thej' possessed. Tho Institute was closed by the talk of Dr. Devlne on some of the common diseases of the horse and their care.

Dr. Devlne deplored the fact that a good many farmers were taken In by the traveling horse doctor. The consultation with an experienced and resident veterinarian was urged. One of the most common ailments of the horse Is of the teeth, aud particularly in the case of four-year-olds. The speaker said that a little dentistry In cases of this sort would be sufficient to last the horse through life.

One of the most common ailments was the colic, and the speaker thought that this was one of the most serious of aliments, and he urged the services of a veterinarian at once.

BROOKLYN Attorney Trowbridge of Port Washington, at the meeting of the North Hempstead Town Board, held yesterday at Manhasset, Informed the board that a road, the deed of which was filed with the town officials some six years ago, runs, through the center of a farmhouse, across a large mill pond, and into the cellar of another house. This road, according to Mr. Trowbridge, was ceded to the town, but when property owners of Port Washington wanted to sell they discovered that the engineer who laid out the street had made a mistake.

Mr. Trowbridge represented the Van de Venter heirs of Port Washington. He said that they were anxious to sell a part of their estate, but that the title companies refused to approve the deeds until the matter of the street was decided upon. "Some six years ago," said Mr. Trowbridge, "the Van de Venter heirs deeded a street to the town, but when the engineers laid it out a mistake was made.

Instead of laying out the street they wanted to give to the town, another street was taken. We did not notice the mistake until recently. We want that street back, so that we can get a clear title, and In return we will give you the street which we originally Intended to turn over to the town." The matter was placed in the hands or Justice C. R. Weeks, and he will make a report on the matter at the next meeting of the board.
