"The Mayor wants to see that important structure completed as soon as possible and he does pot care who the architect is," said The Eagle's Informant.

Extraordinary efforts were made by the trustees of the Brooklyn Public Library, under the leadership of David A. Hoody. to obtain an appropriation, even if only a small one, from the Hylan Board of Estimate to make possible the resumption of construction vol on the Central Library Building In which the city had already sunk several million dollars, but to every crgumcnt the Mayor replied that the financial condition of the city did not warrant th- expenditure of public money for that purpose although it was urged that $400,000 would put the Flatbush ave. wing of the building Into usable shape, and Boro President Riegelmann called the unfinished structure an "eyesore and a disgrace to the whole city." Mayor Hylan remained adamant in his attitude up to the end rf his first term. It was understood that if the library trustees could persuade Mr.

(Special to The Eaijh:) Freeport. L. Feb.

28 ATter a heated debate last night the War Memorial Board, representing the various veterans' organizations of Freeport, and the Memorial Library committee rsreed to hold a Joint meeting Sun-u-y evening at which time they will discuss the possibility of altering the present plans for the. library so that the building will include an auditorium and other features which the ex-service men desire. The meeting was called as the remit of a letter presented some time ago to the village trustees by Col. H. C.

Wilson, as representative of the ex-service men of Freeport, requesting that the Village Board discharge the library committee with a vote of thanks and ask them to turn over the funds which they hold to the trustees to be held until It was decided whether of not the people as a wnole wanted a memorial library. Alfred T. Davison, vice president and spokesman of the library committee, gave a -brief history of the proposed library, stating that of the $25,000 or so raised by popular subscription. $20,000 had already been "pent for the purchase of the site and (he putting in of the foundation. He stated that if a change in plans was lo be considered it was for the donors to decide and not for the American Legion or any other organization to attempt to dictate to the library committee.

Colonel Wilson replied that the Memorial Board, as representing the vet-i fans, did not feel that the library as now planned was a suitable memorial snd that the cx-soldiers felt that thejp were being ignored by the members of the library committee. He stated that all the veterans wanted was to have their wishes considered in regard to having a suitable memorial to the dead and some sort of a community building where they could meet together. As the argument developed other speakers joined in and the majority spoke in favor of altering the present plans so that they would conform to the wishes of the veterans Among those who spoke were Mrs. Agnes Enron, a member of the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion, who stated that they had already gone on record as being opposed to the library as now plunned. and Fred Booth, president of the Southside Civic Asssociation, which some time ago voted to favor the plans outlined by the Memorial Board.

Then came the bride on the King's arm followed by the bridesmaids, the ladles in waiting and King's suite.

It was about 11:30 o'clock when the solemn service, performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury assisted bv the Archb'shop of York and the deaii and preceptor of the Abbes began. The 67th Psalm was chanted and the anthem. "Beloved. Let. I's Love One Another," was sung during the service.

With them the all-Important questions were: "What shall I wear?" and "AVhat will the bridal party wear?" Within certain limits, the State Chamberlain, who designates the form of apparel for state occasions, settled the matter. He prescribed "morning dress, with hats; also orders and decorations." Dressmakers carried the thing a bit further by announcing that it would be a "brocade" wedding, that material being favored by several of those socially prominent women, whoso selections usually govern. The State Chamberlain's ukase ruled out the wearing of veils, plumes and trains.

In the Interests of economy, this had been the rule of the Court of St. since early In the war. The result was some dimunition of brilliancy, but the sacrifice contributed to the comfort of the feminine part of the congregation, as AA'estmlnster Abbey has long been termed "a vast collection of draughts." The choice of morning dress was made "in view of probable cold weather and the continued prevalence of the Influenza epidemic." "Morning" dress, of course, necessitates the wearing of cloaks and furs. Officers of the Army, Navy and All-Force wore full dress uniform, with orders and decorations. For civilians court dress was prescribed.

Swords were a part of this nttlre. Soldiers without dress uniform were permitted to use service kit. Brocade has been increasing in popularity for some time. Now it Is all the rage, and the wedding party-afforded a gorgeous display of this material in all its rich There were brocades of misty blue, of dull gold and shimmering; silver. The pattern, in most cases, was Elizabethan, and the effect, one of rare splendor.

Many of the frocks were classic in outline, long walsted and With fairly full skirls, reaching nearly to the ankles, according to one autocrat of the dress world. As to the extent of the decolletage permissible, no specific instructions were Issued, hut it was well known that Queen Mary disliked exaggeration in any particular of feminine attire. As to sleeves, the edict declared that a revival of sleeves was certain. This, It Is understood, was in deference to a wish expressed by' Queen Mary and pertained to court dress more especially than to gowns for the Princess" wedding. Inclusion of the words "with In the State Chamberlain's dress specifications was perhaps more welcome news to milliners than to those at-tending the Abbey service certainly the male contingent was not overjoyed.

Most of them, and many women, were fearful the hats In front of them at the Abbey would obstruct their view. This consideration, apparently, was taken into account at most shops, and a Former Tells Flushing Diners City Holds Up Queens' Lines. Connolly Hits Back. Five hundred men, representing every section of Queens Boro, attended the Jubilee dinner of the Flushing United Association, in the State Armory, on Broadway, Flushing, last night, In celebration of the passing of the 1,000 mark in membership. Among the Invited guests present were S.

Senator William M. ('aider. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, Health Commssioner; George.

McAneny, chairman of the Transit Commission; Boro President Maurice E. Connolly of Queens, Federal. Judge Edwin Jj. Garvin, County Judge Burt Jay Humphrey, Surrogate Daniel Noble, Dr. Edward Shallow, Associate Superintendent of Schools; AA'il-llam R.

John Holley Clark, his father and chairman of the Membershoy Committee, through whose efforts the 1,000 mark was reached, and Prof. Jean F. P. des Garcnnes, chairman of the association's School Committee. Maj.

Clark was toastmaster. and addresses were delivered b.v Senator ('aider, Mr. McAneny and Judga Garvl n. Air. McAneny, in the course of his remarks, put the blame for the In extending rapid transit to Flushhig up to the Board of Estimate for failure to appropriate the money.

nnm iiiiu. mi iiuiiKM li col ill ission 11,111 laid before the Board of Estimate list summer a plan for a bridge to cei the transit line over Flushing Cre It had not heard from the board on that matter, and that although tho contracts for the Steinway tunnel extension had been sent to the Board of Estimate last November, the had not heard from the board on that important matter. Mr. McAn.my expressed regret that Boro President Connolly of Queens was not present, at the dinner to hear what he had to say. Boro President Connolly's attention was called today to Mr.

McAneny charges and he was quick to hit back in characteristic manner. He said: Puts Blame on McAneny. "The reason that the dual plan is not in operation on any line in the Boro of Queens is because President McAneny and his engineers negotiated a contract that rendered such dual operation impossible. "In the negotiation of this contract, President McAneny, his associates and engineers knew that the Interboro Rapid Transit Company would operate a ear nine feet in width and that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company Intended to operate a 10-foot car. The station platforms, however, under the contract negotiated by Mr.

McAneny and his associates were so constructed that the operation of a 10-foot car by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company is impossible. Every one knew that a dual operation was contemplated. The stations were so arranged as to permit a separate collection of fare by Hie two companies, and the station platforms were so built as to frustrate any plan of operation by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit "President McAneny's engineers say It Is now Impossible to permit of this dual operation and offer the expedient of a transfer at Queens Plaza Station instead of conforming the platforms to the needs of both companies. The same engineers who prepared this abominable plan are still advising Mr. McAneny and his commission, and if this thing happened in any other department or bureau of the city thoso who committed it would be out of the service, at least.

"Mr. McAneny also asked why It was that the tracks on Fresh Pond rd. had not been re-located to the center of the street. One reason is because after Commissioner Barrett had ordered the company to re-locate these tracks in the interest of the public, when President McAneny's commis-ilon took hold, without notifying the city, they gave a re-hearing to the company, rescinded the order of Commissioner Barrett and refused to order a re-location. It then became necessary for me to have introduced and passed a bill under which such re-lo-oation could bo exacted.

"As another example of the inefficiency of President McAneny, the Intolerable conditions existing at the Jackson ave. station of the subway might be cited. The width of the platform at this station was provided for in Mr. McAneny's contract." WM. J.

Mary Sisns Church Registers. The bride and bridegroom then passed to Edward the Confessor Chapel, where two registers were signed one known as the Hoyal Register, in which the entry of today's ceremony occupied six pages, slid the other the Ahbcy Register which is signed alike by royalty and subjects. Mary used gold quill pen, one of her wedding gifts. The signing completed, the bridal march from "P.omeo and Juliet" r.nd Mendelssohn's AA'edding March were played. The bride and bridegroom stepped down the Abbey to the west door, preceded by the choir and clergy and followed by the bridesmaids.

The clergy moved off to the Jerusalem Chamber as cheers reawakened, by the appearance of the united couple in the doorway reverberated through the edifice. The King and Queen and other members of Hie royal family moved toward the door and the new A'lscountess and her husband began their triumphal re-turn through the tumultuous street throngs, using this time the carriage in which Queen Mary went to the Abbey.

James Palace into St. James thence proceeding through Piccadilly and Hyde Park to the corner of Constitution Hill and thus to Buckingham Palace. The King and Queen in the state coach and other royal personages quickly followed, and the wedding breakfast was served there to a company of about 170 persons, including the royal family and relatives and closest friends. A feature of this was the cutting of a Bigantic 500-pound wedding cuke, made in live tiers, nearl" seven feet in height, the ingredients of which were sent especially from the various parts of the British Empire. Viscount Lascelles and his bride lr.ter drove behind four of the famous Windsor grays by way of Constitution Hill through Hyde Park to Pnd-dlngton Station, acknowledging the cheers of additional thousands on their way.

Start on Honeymoon. The couple left Paddington Station at 4:15 o'clock on a special train, which was beautifully decorated. The crowds of sightseers heartily cheered the departing train. AVhen they were leaving Buckingham Palace to go to the station tin. bride and bridegroom were pelted with rice and confetti by King George and others of the royal household.

varlrty of specially designed small hatf and toques was displayed to minimize this disadvantage. As fur coats, or cloaks with furs were to be generally worn, a problem with milliners was to create headweai that would harmonize not only with brilliant dress, but with a wrap of sable or moleskin. Furriers and cloakmakers shared in the fillip given London's dressmaking industry by the wedding and the season of social functions which will be incidental. Model cloaks of apricot velvet, embroidered in diamonds and jet snd collared with white fox; of black velvet, trimmed with kolinsky; of ermine, allied with sable; of mole and gold brocade, with a flounce of fluffy marabou' strands, and collars of the same material were seen.
