Patchogue Leads Increase. ill yesterday, Mrs. Reed Wldner was reelected president and Mrs. Edward fa V. i however, that the pond has been drained in order to facilitate the improvements planned.

A retaining wall, it was explained, is being constructed on the southerly side of the pond bed In order to prevent further overflow of the water In rainy weather. This is the first time in many years that the Par's Department has expended funds lor the improvement of this park. About $10,000 has been diverted for the miscellaneous work now under way and when the department is finished with Its plans the park will be enhanced by new sidewalks, additional curbing, extra drains and a decorative iron fence across Its southerly side. In a statement today the Queens Park Department expressed itself as desirous of allaying the fears of Jamaica residents that the persent construction work now under way In Upland Park near the Jamaica High School spells ruin for old Goose Pond, where skating in the winter and water lilies in the summer have for years made the little park on the hill a rendezvous for children and adults. Goose Pond is almost dry.

which fact has caused residents to believe that the Park Department intended to fill In the pond and take away a recreational feature of the community. Park officials today stated.

Section Had Clashes Over Government Even When Under Dutch-English Rule. Ridgewood comes by its political pugnacity very naturally, says Edward Hale Brush, Long Island historian. It still has the independent characteristics which formed Its heritage from Its early settlers, as demonstrated in the recent primaries when it turned In pluralities for two anti-machine candidates. Settled early In the development of Long Island by the Dutch, added to later by a strong Teutonic strain as thrifty Germans cleared its hills of woodland to make room for their farms, it still retains many of the street names given by early immi grants. Located on the border line of the Dutch and English settlements.

Ridgewood witnessed many clashes betwen the political Ideals of the two groups, says Mr. Brush. The Englished wished to elect their governing officers. The Dutch adhered to the practice of having the officials picked by the governer general. Eventually they picked their local leaders.

Wyckoff ave. was one of the first streets to run through the Ridgewood area, early records show. It still is one of the principal business streets of the section, althougn prac tically nothing remains to indicate the shops and taverns maintained by the old Dutch burghers. Early deeds refer to the street as Ridge rd. Cold Weather Brings School Closing Order Port Jefferson, L.

Oct. 4 The assessed valuation ol Brookhaven town has Increased more than $2550,000 during the past year, it wag learned this morning from the Board of Assessors, who are completing the tax rolls for 1929 preparatory to the levying of the tax rates for the coming year after the town budget is presented next week.

The new figure for Brookhaven town is $38,706,779 as compared with $36,371,242 for last year. This in-crease in the valuation, plus a $37,200 refund that the town will get as the result of Its successful appeal on the equalization of two years ago, Is expected to bring a lower tax rate during the coming year. The major por-Jon of this increase in valuation is in the Patchogue school district, which includes one-fourth of the total value of the town. Another sizable increase was made In the Setauket district, which is higher this year than ever before. Other slight Increases in rural acreage through the middle of the island account for the $2333,537 increase.

This year. the assessors value the 'properties that lie on the Great South Beach across the bay from the town at nearly $1,000,000.

Along Flushing ave. In Maspeth, near the headwaters of Newtown Creek, stand three or four shining white Colonial farmhouses with green blinds. They are hemmed In on all sides Joy dull brick factories and constitute the sole reminder that once thi-s section was the most fertile farm land in Queens. The modern factory buildings overlooking Newtown Creek, team ing with Industrial traffic, and the row on row of brick and frame houses, closely built, which now ex tend all through Maspeth, tend to belie the statements of historians that this was one of the first Long Island settlements. Maspeth, or Mespat, as It was then known, say the Long Island historians, was an Important settlement long before Jamaica was born.

The community established there by the Rev. Francis Doughty, an English clergyman, Intent on secur ing freedom of conscience, was nearly wiped out by Indians, early records show. Before Industrialization set in booming land values and the lots around Newtown Creek became more valuable as dock sites than peat bogs. Famous New Yorkers lived in Maspeth, Including former Governor De Witt Clinton, Jeronl-mus Reinsert, commander of the Queens County militia In the Revolution, and many otheres who maintained large estates.
