Benjamin B. Combs of Freeport, who was a coast guardsman in the good old days when the service was known only for snatching lives out of King Neptune's tentacles.

Nassau-Suffolk Notes U. S. Coast Guard is not what Benjamin B. Combs, retired Station at Point Lookout, who That 'was the work Ben Combs signed up for at Point Lookout In 1891. "I've seen a lot cf changes down there," he said, as he deftly opened a dozen oysters for immediate consumption.

"I've seen some-wrecks, too, and we had all we could do to get out to them and bring the folks ashore. Twenty-five years ago. the steamer Acara went ashorei off Jones Inlet. It was bitter weather with a gale blowing out of the northeast. Time and time again we tried to launch the surf boat but failed, and 63 persons on board took to the boats.

"We watched the boats capsize one after the other, and launched our boats. Every one of the 62 was brought to shore and given warmth and food." He related how a five-masted full rigged ship, the1 Rickmer, about 19 years ago, out of New York and bound for China, went ashore. The crew of 25 and the captain's pet cat were saved. "Eight men constituted a crew at the station and does still," he said. "We have men in the service yet who have seen the full rigged ship pass on to the Sargossa Sea.

There was always a thrill when one of them went by with every bit of canvas drawing and a white collar foaming around the figurehead under the bow. "Life saving was our work and nothing else. We had no motor driven boats until 1923. It depended upon the arms of the crew to get the life boat out to a stricken ship. We had vacations in summer, but all winter long every man was on duty.

Most wrecks occurred in winter. When war was declared all vacations were stopped. And the Coast Guard did its bit then, don't forget that. "But now with these glaring newspaper headlines about the Coast Guard," he shook his head sadly. Campbell Again Picked to Head Commerce Unit Ridgewood Chamber Elects Slate Without Opposition at Its First Session At its first meeting of the new year the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, in its headquarters, Cornelia st.

and Cypress Ridgewood, last night, officers for the ensuing year were elected unanimously. The newly elected officers are: Nathan Campbell, president; Roland E. Beneville, vice president; Otto Herman, second vice president; Henry C. Brucker, third vice president; Joseph Schmidt, executive secretary; Carl E. Clemmens, secretary; Harold J.

Smith, financial secretary; Rudolph Stutzman treasurer. Directors: Emil M. Koch, Fred C. Krcuscher, William A. Fluhr, Rudolph Stutzman Herman Ringe, Edward F.

Reuter, Charles Caci-oppo, George W. Hudtwalker, George Viebrock and Carl Berger; John M. O'Neill was chosen chairman of the board of directors. This is Campbell's second term as the head of the Ridgewood Chamber. He asked for a continuance of the co-operation he received during his first term.

In the year 1930 there will be four eclipses, two of the sun and two of the moon. The word "imp" ance meant offspring. By MEB Freeport, L. Jan. 9 The it used to be.

That's the opinion of Capt. commander of the Coast Guard served 33 years in the duty of saving lives off the South Shore, and he believes he has a right to opine, "We old timers hate to read the sort of Coast Guard stories that are in the papers now because it is really a fine branch of the service backed by traditions and a record of which we're mighty proud," declared the captain. He said times have changed radically and expressed the belief that everything else had been forced to keep in step with the progress. Even at that he didn't term the changes in the Coast with due respect to an occasional rescue, as greatly elevated in its new job of keeping undesirables from enter ing the country. That rum had be come "undesirable, he acknowledges, but it Is the warfare with the rum-running activities that he so sadly deplores.

Swaps Yarns and Fish. Captain Combs retired after 33 years in the service and today passes time swapping yarns in Leon Carman's flsh market on Atlantic ave. near West End ave. He had to do something to keep busy, he said, and since fish are as near to his element as anything possibly could be, he thus continues to keep his contact with the sea. Many a tale of heroism performed by the hardy surfmen has gone unsung, the Captain says.

There was patrol work along the beach on a winter's night when a gale whipped the salt spray and sleet against one's face in the constant watch for signals of distress. There was the distress signal and the cry from the guardsman on I watch; the launching of the surf boat through the combers, rocket flares that gave comfort to those on the stranded vessel and finally, the breeches buoy that brought them safely ashore. Jamaica Market To Be Asked by Commerce Body Prod uce Warehouse to Serve Vast Area Will Be Recommended Todav Plans for a public market in Jamaica to serve the. entire eastern end of Long Island will be considered at a director's meeting of the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce, today. There has been strong agitation, according to Secretary N.

C. Bunyan of the chamber, in favor of such a location for a public mar ket building similar to Wallabout Market in Brooklyn and Washington Market in Manhattan. Secretary Bunyan pointed out that the city had already set aside Twombly Jamaica, as a public market place. Those sponsoring a public market building project for Jamaica believe such an establishment would not only add greatly to Jamaica's importance as a market and trading center, he said, but would end the practice of hauling vast quantities of foodstuff grown ori Long Island to Brooklyn and bringing them back to Queens. Mr.

Bunyan said the present site designated by the city for a market place in Jamaica, at the inter section of Archer and Twombly along the Long Island railroad, would be easily accessible to all parts of Queens, to important highways, rapid transit and railroad facilities.

Fire Menaces Rockaway Air Station Planes $25,000 Naval Building Razed at Riis Park as Big Blaze Is Quelled Fire yesterday afternoon menaced the Rockaway Naval Air Station, at Rockaway Point, and called into action thefire brigade from Fort Til-den, nearby, the employees cf the air station, and the city fire fighting apparatus from the entire Rock-aways and from Richmond Hill.

The emergency squad, also, from Richmond made the long run to the scene. The two-story frame structure, where the flames started, was destroyed but firemen and others fighting the blaze confined damage to this one structure. Within the danger zone were barracks used by enlisted men at the fetation, the gasoline building, where a large quantity of gasoline was stored, the building used as the officers headquarters and the large hangar, where eight planes were housed. By constantly wetting down the nearest of these buildings firemen prevented the flames from spreading. Autoists at Scene.

The naval air station is located at Rockaway Point on Jamaica Bay and the thick black smoke from the fire could be plainly seen all over the Rockaways and various parts of Brooklyn. As a consequence hundreds of autoists sped to the vicinity to watch the flames. The building destroyed was unoccupied, according to Lieutenant Whitehead, In command at the station, it was 100 by 200 feet, and had not been used for six years. Started by Short Circuit A short circuit is believed to have started the fire. James B.

Christian, an employee, discovered the flames and turned in the alarm. Employees and personnel of the station turned out to fight the fire and the Fort Tilden fire company, under com mand of Capt. William McMorrow, also hurried over to the station at Jacob Riis Park with Its hand pump ing apparatus. The loss Is estimated at about $25,000. Jury Disagrees in Trial In Richmond Hill Rohhery The jury in the trial of Charles Jennsen, 19, 147-11 Jamaica Alex Pilotuk, 2000 Ocean and Theodore Lankiewicz of the same address, could not agree after deliberating for six hours and Judge Frank F.

Adel in the Queens County Court discharged them. The three youths will be tried again on Jan. 20. They are alleged to have beaten and robbed Eugene Fitzpatrick of 127-04 89th Richmond Hill, on May 6, last. The complainant testified that three men took $134 from his pockets after knocking him to the ground.

He was unable to identify his assailants, he said, because he had been drinking at the time. SEEK MAIL VANDALS Bay Shore, L.

i4 -11 LAa'o Oyster Fight Township Decides to Let Rival Bus Right Seekers 'Fight It' Out' Islip. L. Jan. 9 The Islip Town Town Board yesterday refused to be drawn into a row between baymen over oyster lands at Ocean Beach, and told disputants that their quarrel would have to await settlement until after the transfer of bay bottom lands by the State to the town has been completed, when a survey of the oyster beds will be made. Cas Zegel, bayman, accused Capt.

Frank Rogers of Bayport, former Supervisor of the town, of "hogging" Ocean Beach oyster lands. He declared that Captain Rogers was "taking all the oysters in sight" and crowding out smaller baymen. Captain Rogers denied the charge and asked that a survey be made, but Town Clark Warren C. Haff said it would be premature to make a survey now, since the exchange of bay bottom lands between the State and the town will soon be Seek Bus Franchise. H.

B. Carter, representing the Bee Line Bus Company of Jamaica, was before the board with an application to have the' franchise of the Blue White Company to operate over Montauk Highway, between East Islip and Sayville, turned oven to the Bee Line Company. A member of the Bee Line concern, he said, recently acquired the property of the Blue White Company at a bankruptcy sale. However, It developed that the Swezey Bus Company, which now operates over part of the route of the old Blue White Company, claims to have bought the Blue White property at a pre-bankruptcy sale and served Town Clerk Haff with notice that if the franchise were turned over to the Bee Line Company litigation would be insti tuted to prevent it operating. The Town Board decided to take no action and to leave the two bus companies to fight It out between themselves.

As board members reported many complaints over the rise in 1929 as sessments, declared unequal, the board instructed Assessor Frank Markvart to commence the field work of assessment at once and wherever possible to use actual sales value of properties as the basis of assessments. Justice of the Peace Charles H. Duryea of Sayville, new member of the board who was elected last fall, was given a cordial welcome. The board adopted resolutions lauding the long publio service of former Justice Daniel D. White of Sayville, who retired Jan.

1 after 24 years of service. It was announced yesterday that the board will hold a special meet ing next Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, when President Collins of the South Bay Consolidated Wa ter Company will be present. The board has been trying for several weeks to get Installation of new mains and hydrants throughout the town speeded up.

9 Edward Fallon and John Snyder, pleading guilty to stealing a car owned by George W. Brush, Huntington, were sent to Elmira by Judge Farman in County Court here yesterday. They drove the car to New Orleans and back to their former home in Danville, where they were arrested. De Stefanl in court admitted that he was in Italy at the time specified, but denied knowing anything of the incident referred to. The Italian Consul General in Manhattan told police he had no knowledge of the crime alleged and promised before Friday to interrogate his government concerning it.

Sutera said he had been a spectator at the Ridgewood Grove Club's wrestling show and had seen De Stefani there, whereupon he ran to notify police. Inasmuch as there is no extradition treaty between the United States and Italy, diplomatic exchanges between the Italian Ambassador and the State Department at Washington will be necessary if it is found that De Stefanl is an escaped convict from Italy. Frankel Hints Present Assessor! Valuation Should Be Increased Long Beach. L. Jan.

Mayor Frank rankel today prepared to forestall the financial crisis he says Long Beach now faces by announcing he has lopped 23 jobs off the city payroll and is studying the city assessment situation with a view to having assessed valuation of taxable property increased. This action follows his discovery since taking office Jan. 1 that the city during the previous administration of William J. Dalton had exceeded its borrowing limit by some $500,000 and was faced with the perplexing problem of paying present Indebtedness of almost $200,000,000. When Mayor Frankel had stopped swinging his official ax nearly every department today found itself with a diminished staff.

Two bureaus under the Dalton administration were abolished and the consolidation of others was effected. Many salaries have suffered a cut. The City Treasurer, who formerly received $6,500, will get only the Corporation Counsel's salary Is cut from to the two appointed tax assessors have been reduced from $2,000 to $600 each; secretary of the Civil Service Commission from $2,500 to the city physician and health officer from $2,500 to $1,000: the Building Commissioner from $5,200 to $4,000. Various other reductions have been made In practically every department. The amount of money saved totals $73,604.80 per year.

Mayor Frank Frankel In a statement today, declared "the present basis of assessment here is antiquated and detrimental to property owners. It places a false value on property, and handicaps the taxpayer when he seeks mortgage money. "No lending Institution," he said, "feels secure in making a loan of $5,000 on a house assessed at $3,000 when the fair value of the property is $10,000. An Increase In the assessed valuation does not necessarily mean an Increase in the amount of taxes paid by each property owner." Mr. Frankel explained that the City of Long Beach was penalized by the State last fall because of the low assessed valuation placed on property.

"The Board of Supervisors of Nassau County sitting as a Board of Equalization entirely disregarded our assessed valuation, and fixed our assessed value for State and county taxes at he said. "We paid these taxes at that rate but lost $15,000 in revenue from the State out of the income tax collected, by reason of the, lower assessment fixed by the city." He recommended that the new tax assessor co-operate with the City Council to re-evaluate property. Supreme Court Upholds Horan In Amerind Row Johnson Refusep to Restrain New Officials From Taking Positions Justice John B. Johnston In the Special Term of the Queens Supreme Court, Jamaica, yesterday refused to set aside the election recently held by the Amerind Democratic Club of Elmhurst. Robert Hairston, as spokesman for the defeated ticket in the contest, sought a permanent injunction to restrain Patrick J.

Horan, president-elect to succeed former Democratic Leader of Queens Mason O. Smedley, and other successful candidates from taking office. The absence of Smedley, who led the club 16 years, at the election Dec. 9 was seen as the real cause of the court action after smoke had clared following the political fight argued yesterday before Justice Johnston. When the former leader failed to make an appearance on election night, Horan, who then was serving as vice president, took the chair and called the meeting to order.

Robert J. Howard, attorney for Hairston. told Justice Johnston that because Horan presided the meeting was illegal. He also argued that Horan erred when he did not permit Hairston to run for the presidency because a year's dues had not been paid until 21 days, before tho election and because Horan would not accept a motion to adjourn the election meeting. The Membership Corporation Law was quoted by George J.

Schneller, counsel for Horan, which says an election is mandatory on the date set by the bylaws. Besides President Horan on lie regular Urkefc elected are: Leo Mallcan. first vice president: John J. Reardon. second vice president: Eugene Keefe, recording secretary: Vincent Quinn, nnancial secretary; Frank Daly, treasurer; Ona Anderson, sergeant-at-arms.

Tho opposition ticket comprised Mr. Hairston for president; John Kennedy, vice president; Daniel Bheppard, second vice president; John O'Neill, recording secretary: Vincent Quinn. financial secretary; A. E. Warwick, sergeant-at-Brms.

Nassau Jury Disagrees On Intoxication Charges Mineola, L. Jan. 9 A Jury in the County Court here last night disagreed in the case of Joseph Suchwala of Front East Hemp stead, who was on trial for driving a cvar while intoxicated as a second offender. Policeman John Freeth of the Hempstead police force told how the defendant on Nov. 24 struck a bi cycle driven by a messenger boy at the intersection of Main and Fulton sts.

Suchwala's defense was that he had drunk some cough medicine, which contained a small degree of Icohol. and it was the odor of the Medicine that urged the police to ry wim intoxicated. The case trwd Hundreds of property owners from the south side of Queens will crowd the Board of Estimate in City Hall tomorrow to demand that the proposed Queens blvd. subway spur shall be routed down Sutphin blvd. Another group will vehemently demand that Van Wyck blvd.

chosen. Four previous hearings on tha matter since Oct. 1, 1929, havs availed the contestants nothing. The hearing of Deo. 12 was postponed by the board when Maurics Hotchner, attorney for the Sutphin blvd.

proponents, was ill and unable to plead for his clients. Civic leaders are of the opinion that no further postponements will be granted and that settlement of the matter will be made tomorrow. Charges Made. Many charges and countercharge have been made since the issue was opened last June. One of these is that the Jamaica Sports Arena, has given thousands of dollars to maintain legal counsel to thwart the decision of the city's transportation" board.

i Thomas Malone, millionaire realtor and owner of the Jamaica arena and other properties along; both routes, denied the charge that he had given thousands of dollars to abet the fight in behalf of Sutphin blvd. "If this controversy continues," said Mr. Malone, "it would not surprise me to see the money intended for South Side subways diverted to other sectiens of-, the boro." Civics Comment. Civic leaders of both communities involved appear to be hopeful for the cause they are backing. Samuel Toell, president of the South Side Allied Civic Associations, commenting on the probable outcome of the issue, said, "I have full confidence that the Van Wyclc blvd.

route will be designated by the Board of Estimate." Henry Haarmeyer, president of the Central Queens Allied Civio Council, said, "Officially, I have no-' interest in the. matter, as it Is a local issue and does not involve county improvements. As an Individual I am of the belief that the Van Wyck route vjill be chosen, as I am not aware of any circumstances to warrant a reversal by the Transit Commission. Victor Schaus, member of the Sutphin Boulevard Transit Committee: "From the facts that will be presented. I cannot see how the Board of Estimate can come to a decision other than one designating the Sutphin blvd.

as the new subway thoroughfare. In view of the greater interests to be served, I believe the Sutphin will be chosen. The Sutphin blvd. route to the south side of Queens is one-fifth, of a mile shorter and can be built cheaper. If the Van Wyck route Is favored, undue advantage will be given to unreasonable realty speculators who have acquired vacant lots Points to Sewer.

William F. Dailey. Wakefield Parle Civic Association: "There is no doubt in my mind that Van Wyck blvd. will be approved by the Board of Estimate. In view of the engineering obstacles and additional costs in relaying the new sewer which will be encountered, it is only logical to assume that the city will choose the most convenient routs." Ira Bessey, president of the Sutphin Boulevard Civic Association: "We are very expectant that the Sutphin blvd.

route will be chosen. This was approved in 1925 and is the logical route Josenh CnvK n. Dun-ton Civic "1 pni very confident that the Mayor and the Board will grant the decision in favor of Van Wyck. We are hM anybody. We are merely backing up the judgment of the city's transit ai'thority.
