Reynolds Protests Against Hempstead's Action to Force Canal Digging. NEEDLESS EXPENSE, HE SAYS. Asks Extension of Time Until Special Election Can Be Called to Settle Question, (Special to The Eagle.) Hempstead, L. April 29-Former Senator William H. Reynolds in a communication to the Town Board of Hempstead has entered a protest against the proposed the strong, town against the Estates of Beach.

Former Lieutenant Governor M. Linn Bruce has been retained by the Town Board to enforce the fulfillment of the conditions of the deed of sale Hempstead of property to the from development the Town con- of I pany, which provided that the company shall construct a channel one mile long and from 500 to 1,000 feet wide. Attorneys have been employed by the Town Board in the past to bring some action on the bond which the Estates of Long Beach gave to secure the construction of this channel. This bond provided that there was to be a penalty of $50,000, and owing to the fact that the bond was drawn so peculiarly the counsel previously employed have decided that there was no remedy against the company. The waterways committee of the Town Board enployed M.

Linn Bruce, and he decided that there was a remedy and he was subsequently retained to prosecute the action against the development company. It was to this employment that former Senator Reynolds took exception, and in his letter he asserts that there is no demand for the immediate construction of this channel and proposes an extention of time for the construction and offers to have called a special election of the taxpayers, the burden of expense to be borne by development company. He also asserts in his letter that there is no immediate need of a channel and the pumping of a vast amount of fill on waste land would be a needless expense. He objects to the employment of high-priced counsel on the ground that it is a needless penditure, and as a resident and taxpayer protests against the employment of counsel until at least a special election is called, when the people may pass upon the he extension of time, or at least until he be given a hearing by the Town Board and its counsel. He points out the fact that the Estates of Long Beach is the largest taxpayer in the town and county, and that the corporation in developing the Long Beach property should be encouraged in its work.

The Town Board referred the letter to counsel. SAYS BOY TOOK HIS MONEY. Sag Harbor Man Has Hotel Bellboy Arrested. Sag Harbor, L. April 29 -Isidore Davis believes he has caught a sneak thief who for days has been rifling his room and going through his pockets while he slept at the American Hotel.

Dr. Fred C. was the man responsible for Dettner the boy's fright, and the doctor was somewhat rutiled himself. The doctor had taken his brother, Paul, and another to Wading River in his car. Returning, he was driving along at a pretty good clip.

I. CITY. L. I. R.

R. Will Wait No Longer for Beginning of Transit in Steinway Tube. The new Hunters Point avenue station on the Long Island Railroad, for which residents and property owners of that section of Long Island City have been agitating a long time, is to be built immediately and put in operation on July 1, according to announcement made today at the office of PregIdent Ralph Peters of the Long Island Railroad. The station, which will ultimately become the transfer 1 point from Long Island trains to the Steinway tube service, was some time ago promised as soon as the tunnel was opened for travel, but, owing to the continued delay in the work of preparing this tube for service and the increasing demand for a station at that point, the Long Island decided to go ahead at once. The station is to be erected under the bridge at Hunters Point and Van Alst avenues, and will be on the line of all Long Island City trains, but not on the line of trains bound for the Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan via the Pennsylvania tubes.

Passengers on incoming Pennsylvania Station trains will be compelled to change at either Woodside or Jamaica to reach the new Hunters Point Station. Incoming out-island steam trains, however, whose terminus at present is the Long Island City Station, will serve the new depot direct. An electric service for local traffic will also be installed. The new station will be placed between the tracks as many of the New York City and Brooklyn elevated stations are and work upon its construction will be commenced within a few days. The number of trains and their schedule stopping at the new depot have not been determined.

This will be worked out between now and the last of June and a schedule of trains stopping there will appear in the new summer time table which comes out on June 30. A boom in real estate in the vicinity of the new Hunters Point station is expected as a result of its installation. The section has been rapidly growing recently. There has been much demand for a station, and the decision of the Long Island to act at once instead of waiting for the Steinway tubes to be an added impetus to building put in operation is expected died give real estate operations round about.
