The 'Commissioner of Accounts also appropriates to himself the credit for breaking the sewer scandal in Queens, and charges that Harvey made political capital of the expose by riding the crest of public sentiment.

WOOD SUGGESTS INDUSTRIAL ZONE IN JAMAICA AREA End of Congestion Seen by Allowing Industries to Establish in Section. A resolution by the Board of Estimate changing zoning in the Greater Jamaica area to permit the location of industries and manufacturing will do than any number of subway lines to relieve congestion between Queens and Manhattan and between Brooklyn and Queens, says Howard O. Wood, new president of the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce, in his first public statement, setting forth his aims and program for the coming year. The best part of the resolution is that it will not cost a cent, against the millions for subways, and can in time so help in decentralizing New York City that the present interboro subway congestion can be forgotten, the new Chamber leader believes. Mr.

Wood's first step to help bring about decentralization will be appointment of a city plan committee to make a survey of the Greater Jamaica area and determine suitable manufacturing sections. Then he will ask the Board of Estimate to change the zoning. Wants Jamaica Courthouse. A great number of the persons who work in Manhattan and Brooklyn would work in Queens, if there were industries enough here, President Wood contends. Plenty of industries in the Greater Jamaica area, for instance, would mean that thousands of families in the congested sections of Brooklyn and Manhattan could find employment here and settle here.

Such distribution of population must arrive, he believes, and wise and careful planning can start the decentralization I immediately. Other projects on President Wood's program are a county courthouse in Jamaica, a high school for South Jamaica, street improvements, Jamaica Bay development (widening and deepening of the channel to make the waterway navigable and to encourage industrial development on the bay, intensive industrial development of Jamaica, which President Wood asserts, has the fourth best waterway and rail facilities of any place in the United States, additional rapid transit lines, merchants' sales activities and opening and widening of more trunk highways.

Project Delayed by Railroad. May Build Underpass. Islip, L. June 8-At a hearing, held by the Public Service Commission in the Town Hall, it was' shown that if it is decided to open Greenwood East Islip, across the tracks of the Montauk Division of the Long Island Railroad, the Town of Islip will have to pay one-half the cost of construction, in addition to the cost of securing the land necessary for the improvement. The reason for this, it was explained, is that it is not the usual grade crossing elimination proceeding in which the railroad, State and county pay the costs.

There is no public right of way across the railroad tracks at Greenwood ave. now, and the proceeding is one of opening a new street across the railroad. Hence the cost falls upon the town and the railroad company. The of construction of whatever struclatter must pay one the cost ture is adopted for carrying the street across the tracks. Favor Underpass.

Public opinion favors the underthe tracks, and engineers have estipass method tunnel for crossing mated that this would cost about $135,000. The town's share of this bill would be $67,500, but Supervisor Davis estimated that condemnation costs for obtaining the right of way would bring the total cost to the town to $75,000. Attorneys for the railroad pointed out at the hearing that while the Public Service Commission issued an order in 1925 for an opening of the street across the tracks, the railroad company been actually ordered to proceed with its part of the work. They also pointed out that since the town has no right of way a across the tracks, the project cannot be carried out as now stand. Menace to Children.

The hearing was adjourned subject to the call of the Commission. Residents of East Islip have been agitating the Greenwood ave. project for years. It was revived recently when the Commission ordered the crossing at Carleton ave, eliminated. Residents of the section believed that both jobs should be done at once.

While the parkway proper is only seven miles in length, it is really an integral part of a much larger project the provision of a through express highway for pleasure cars from lower Brooklyn to about the center of Suffolk County. As laid out and authorized by the Board of Estimate the new parkway is virtually a continuation of Eastern Brooklyn, and Interboro proposed to connect Brooklyn and Queens.

To Provide Through Artery. Construction of Interboro Grand Central pwky. and Northern State pkwy. will mean that a motorist from Brooklyn will have a through artery running from Eastern pkwy. far out into Suffolk, passing through the most picturesque territory in Long Island.

One hundred and fifty feet wide, the new parkway leaves Queens blvd. at Union turnpike, turns slightly south to reach the crest of the central island ridge of hills and follows this ridge until it runs into the Nassau County line between Little Neck and Floral Park. As it passes through Queens it commands an unobstructed view of Jamaica, Hollis, from his eminence above Hillside Queens Village, and a the motorist ave. can even catch glimpses of Jamaica Bay and the Rockaways on days.

The parkway Brooklyn follow to As it passes through Jamaica Estates the parkway divides into Grand Central Parkway and Grand Central Parkway north. The latter highway passes through the land recently acquired by the city for Hillside Park. As the road leaves the park the "two branches blend together and run through the center of the so-called park corridor, designed to connect Hillside and Alley Pond Parks. Leaving the corridor, it separates Alley Pond Park from the Creedmoor State Hospital grounds and then comes into view of the North Hills Golf Club, giving the motorist a hasty glimpse of Little Neck Bay and Long Island Sound before depositing him on the Lakeville near Lake Success in Nassau County.

Grand Central pkwy. is already on the ground for a good distance. The land to be condemned lies between various segments laid out by private developers. The highway was mapped several years ago at the direction of Charles U. Powell, chief engineer of the Queens Topographical Bureau, who envisions it as the most beautiful drive in Queens when completed.

He provided parkways along the route so that motorists could stop for a while when driving through. The land to be acquired to make the parkway a reality is assessed for tax purposes at $443,632. In addition it has buildings, assessed at $44.100 encroaching upon the land. The land required for the park spaces not already provided has been valued at $16,641. Wife Identifies Body Found on Sound Beach Riverhead, L.

June 8 -The body found on the Sound Beach at Northville, north of Riverhead, by George Naugles was taken to Manhattan today by Funeral Director Tuthill of Mattituck. It has been identified as that of John C. Sullivan, 30, of 616 E. 15th Manhattan. Mrs.

Sullivan informed the District Attorney's office she was convinced there had been no foul play, and that her husband was drowned while in swimming at Oyster Bay on May 12. Arthur Schultz, who boarded with Sullivan, was with him. The two went fishing and were taking a swim, Schultz says. when Sullivan suddenly disappeared, Schultz said he dove and searched for a considerable time without findlug Sullivan's body, GOLF AND WATER TOUR TO FEATURE CHAMBER OUTING PATCHOGUE HEADS IGNORE BLUE PLEA FOR POLICE PROBE 'Will Hush Things Says Mayor Who Quit Demands Hearing. Patchogue, L.

June 8-An effort by Mayor Arthur M. Swezey to forestall the demanded probe of the Patchogue Police Department and a statement by him that the matter would "be hushed up," together with the of his resignation by Stockholm and a ovithdrawal demand for a hearing by the Village Board, were two of a series of important developments here today in the police scandal. At the same time Stockholm was suspended from the force and a hearing granted him, to be held Thursday, he night, will at bare which to the time board it the entire police situation. In addition, it became known today, that the fight between Stockholm and Officer Embler started at a roadhouse east of here while both were in uniform and supposedly on duty. Embarrassing Situation.

This change of mind and demand for a hearing on the part of Stockholm has created a highly embarrassing situation for the village officials, since his earlier resignation was thought to have put an end to any further developments. Now that he is to be given hearing, it is expected that he will implicate other members of the department, and possibly two village officials in an effort to clear himself. With a complete exposure by Stockholm is feared, it is said that pressure is being brought to bear to have him let his resignation stand and forego the hearing. Increased interest was added to the whole matter today when it was learned that the fight between Stockholm and Officer Embler had its inception in a well-known roadhouse near Bellport while both were supposed to be on duty. Embler, it seems, went to the resort in uniform while on duty and took part in the activities there for some time.

Stockholm, suspecting where Embler was since he did not ring in, took the police car to Bellport and brought Embler back, and it was this interference by Stockholm that caused the fight when the pair got back here. No Action Taken In the meantime, Mayor Swezey and the Village Board are taking no action on the letter of Assistant District Attorney Alexander G. Blue, demanding a probe of the department. Mayor Swezey, when asked what would be done, stated, "No action has been taken, and nothing will come of this. Our counsel, Mr.

Skidmore, will see Mr. Blue, and the whole matter will be hushed up." However, Blue was not approached today by either Attorney Skidmore or any other official. In the meantime, he is sitting tight and waiting for some indication from the trustees as to what they plan to do, and it is unlikely that they will act until after the Stockholm hearing, Thursday night. COUNTY MAY LOSE ALL JURISDICTION IN NUISANCE CASES Attorney to Fight Right of Nassau Court to Try Alleged Speakeasy Owner. Mineola, L.

June 8-In County Court here tomorrow Attorney George E. Mulry will argue a motion (in behalf of his client, Frank Santangele, accused of maintaining a nuisance in the village of Hempstead, in which the attorney will claim that the County Court has no jurisdiction in this case or similar cases, and will claim that a new amendment to Section 182 of the village law states that where a misdemeanor of this kind is committed, it must be tried before a police justice in that village. Mulry claims that there are only two decisions on this point, one of which favors his contention and one of which is against it. The unfavorable decision of the higher courts points out that the new amendment did not extend the jurisdiction of police justices. Mulry' says that if he gets an adverse decision from Judge Smith he will appeal the case at once.

Several hundred public nuisance cases have come before the County Court here within the past year, many of which were maintained in incorporated villages, and the outcome of this case may set an important precedent.
