ARE EAGER FOR A CHANGE. Methodist Church May Object to Line Passing Its Property-Dangerous Crossings Also Feared. (Special to The Eagle.) Rockville eCntre, L. October 27- Rockville Centre, L. October 27- which has discussing the proposition been brought before the board of trustees to have the trolley tracks changed SO that the cars will pass through the prinsection of the town, incipal stead business, the southern portion of the residential districts.

The proposition from the trolley grew out of a. request its tracks in Center company to change avoid a bad corner, to turn avenue to which the tracks now are laid upon the sidewalk. In speaking of the matter yesterday, Postmaster 0. H. Tuthill of Rockville he believed that the Centre said that absolutely necessary for the change was good of the town.

"The proposition Observer street to lay the tracks along which is close to the Village avenue, Railroad station, and then Long Island down Village avenue to the present line, would bring the traffic through the principal business section of the town, and people living south of the Merrick road would be brought to this village to do their trading," said the postmaster. "Commuters now go to Lynorook to take the train, because they can get to that station without a long walk. "We must have a trolley through our principal streets. We have been handicapped. In Freeport and Hempstead shoppers can be set down at the doors of the stores where they wish to trade, and much business which should go to the Rockville Centre merchants is thus secured by the storekeepers of Freeport, to the detriment of this place," he said.

Village Trustee Robert H. Taylor said that he was strongly in favor of the of the property owners along Observer change. and believes that the consents street and Village avenue will be easily obtained. Whether or not the trolley can obtain right, of way along the pipe line seems to be undecided. At one time the Long Island Railroad wag refused the right to lay tracks on this pipe line, and at another time, it is said, permission was granted.

The village trustees are optimistic in this matter, and believe that the consent of the city can be obtained without any trouble. The plan to change the tracks, however. will doubtless meet with opposition from a certain percentage of the property owners who believe that the two crossings over the Merrick road, made necessary by the change, will be extremely dangerous. The 'tracks must. if laid along the pipe line and Observer street, cross the Merrick road at.

both Windsor and Village avenues. The Long Island Railroad already crosses the Merrick road in Rockville Centre, and this plan would make two more crossings in the village. This, the opposition believes, would make a. death trap of the Merrick road through the village. Those in favor of it, however, say that it is no worse for the trolley to cross the Merrick road in Rockville Centre than it is for it to cross that road in Freeport.

Another source of opposition to the passing of the trolley through Village avenue will probably be the St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church, at the corner of Merrick road and Village avenue.

Court Roma, the Italian Order of the Foresters of America of Flushing, is in the throes of a big fight between two factions, said to be led by Gus Bonacorsa and Carmen Seta, respectively. The trouble began more than a month ago, at the annual election, when Bonacorsa was elected chief ranger.

When the decision was announced it threatened to disrupt the organization, so state officers were again appealed to and it is said that they have adjusted matters.
