At one time the girl raised such a commotion that a number of men surrounded the machine, and only the fact that Superintendent Hehberd showed a badge of authority saved the officers from being attacked and having the girl rescued. The Selle girl was adjudged a delinquent child in the Children's Court in May.

Counties to Continue Wide Highways From City Line. The danger of 150- and 200-foot highways In Queens connecting with 18-foot roads in Nassau County has led Oovernor Smith to urge upon the people of Long Island, outside of the New York City, and particularly In Nassau County, to widen ex siting county roads and create others to connect with the wide boulevards planned for Queens. The Governor promises that the State highway officials will do all In their I ower to help In the development of this system if the residents of the local communities are ready to do their part to save traffic from what he believes will be a most dangerous and annoying situation. The Governor's action follovs th-5 announcement by the Lon Island State Park Commissloa of a comprehensive plan of road and parkway construction designed to meet the tratlic congestion that exists on Long Island. The plan and the were evolved by the Park Commission and the State I partment of Public Works In co-operation wilh the authorities of New York City and Nassau County.

Governor Smith's statement fol lows: See a Serious Situation. "Recently the i State park and highway authorities called my at tentlon to a most serious traffic sit nation at the New York City line on Ixmsc Island which requires im meditate planning by the State and local authorities to prevent chaotic conditions in the suburbs of cw York City. The Long Island State Park Commission has for some time been making studies for a parkway system In Nassau and Suffolk Coun ties which will take care of some of the immense traffic from New York City and will also provide scenic routes by which people can reach the open country and the shorefront. "This Commission reported to me that the new State parkways could take care only of a very small part of the immense traffic, which was bound to come over the new boulevards and widened arteries which the City of Now York is construct ing In Queens County. The State highway authorities confirmed this view and I therefore asked these two State bodies to meet In confer ence with representatives of the City of New York and of Nassau County to discuss with them a solution of the whole problem and to make an understandable and comprehensive Plan for the solution of this difficulty.

It Is necessary to keep in mind that the new routes and widened thoroughfares to be constructed by the city are in almost all cases matters of actual fact already planned and authorized by. the city authorities and for which in most cases funds have already been made available. Vve are therefore dealing with a concrete situation which can only be met In a concrete way. On the other hand we find that to meet these ritv arteries there are wholly Inadequate roads In Nassau County, some of them State and county highways and some of them county roads. City Building Howls.

"To summarize the it appears that the city is constructing or is about to construct in boulevards, streets or highways a pavement of a total width of about 700 feet, having a right-of-way of approximately 1,100 feet. This pavement, unless Immediate plans are made for Nassau County, will pour Into a total pavement on through routes of less than 1B0 feet and rights-of-way of a total width of less than 600 feet. It can easily be seen that conditions of absolute chaos would develop under these circumstances which would not only ho Injurious to people going out ttnm the city Into Nassau County, but would also upset the life of ail the villages and communities in this part of Long Island. It is not unreasonable to say Khat tho entire fu- tore development of Nassau County and ultimately of Suffolk and the preservation and orderly growth of communities will be vitally affected bv the way In which this particular tratlic problem Is handled. Fndnrses Parkway linn.

"The various authorities above re erred to have met In conference nnd have made a plan for parkways nrm boulevards in Nassau County extending into tho western part of Suffolk County to meet the problem created by the growth of the city and the construction of the new city arteries. I have studied this map and I am glad to present it to the public, with my endorsement. The ity authorities have supplied all of the necessary information as to their plans within the city borders. The only new suggestion advanced on tills map not already considered and passed upon by the city authorities ana now presented to them for their consideration is the plan for a belt line highway running north and south Just west of the city line and Intersecting the new city arteries and boulevards. The establishment of this kind of a distributing highway will relieve the other authori ties from a great many problems in Nassau County, and among other mings will take care of trucks which will not be permitted on the park ways and which must therefore go over otuer roaus.

Delays Will Bo Costly. "The wldoned thoroughfares, parkways and new roads proposed In Nassau County must be constructed in part by the State and in part by the county. The parkways will be under the Jurisdiction of the Long Island Stato Park Commission. The park ninas avaiinme are inadequate, and other funds will have to bo provided. This applies also to tho State high way tunds.

The Immediate purposes which can be accomplished are the acquisition of parkway rights of way by the State Park authorities and of RUdtnonai highway rights of way by the Nassau County authorities when the program is approved. There is nothing, for example, to prevent the Immediate acquisition of tho necea yiry rights of way to widen the North jlemstead turnpike and tho Jericho turnpike. Every day that goes by adds to the difficulty and expense i obtaining tho additional rights of way. Houses, garages, stores and other structures are being put up on the margin of the present highways, nil of which will have to be moved or torn down when these highways are widened, it Is certainly tin worst kind of mistake to allow build. lngs to be put up and developments creaieo, an or which must bo removed from land that Is now known to be immediately needed for road ways.

Benefit to Big Instates. "The State Park authorities hare riannert me two parkways in the oo-vlous places where thev should he The Northern State Parkway goes mrougn me nign land on the north ern part of the Island. This nark way Is planned to connect with the great iSassau which Is belrir brought by the city authorities to the INassau border and which, unless the State Parkway project is taken up, win pour into an 18-foot road, if tnis immense tratlic, Including a treat deal of trucking, should go 1 I AUTOS MOTHER'S DAY through the Wheatley Hills section, it would undoubtedly ruin this section. A parkway will save this section and provide a beautiful drive for people going out on tne, isianu. Some of the local have argued that this park ay should go in the middle of the Island, on the ground that the large estates in the SVheailey Hills should be left undisturbed.

I cannot see the force of this argument. The fact Is that park ways and roads are required, ana that this particular section will only be preserved by a parkway. It Is obviously practically Impossible to establish a real parkway In the center of tho Island, which is already full of villages and which will soon be a solidly settled community all the way to" the Suffolk County border. Not only would a parkway right of way bo enormously expensive In this section, but grade crossings could not be eliminated, and moreover, the section Is flat and can only be planted at tremendous expense. "The second State parkway Is planned to go through the southern part of Nassau County and largely through the water supply properties owned and controlled by the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity of the City of New Y'ork.

Iy obtaining the necessary right of way from the city authorities, without Interfering with the city's water protection, parkway can be constructed through this section, from which all grade crossings can be eliminated and which will constitute a beautiful avenue from the city to the open country. Proposed County Boulevard. "It will be noted that a new cross-island boulevard Is suggested to be constructed by the Nassau authorities In the Western part of Nassuu County. A second cross-boulevavd, or rather, parkway, is proposed by the park authorities to run across tho island ultimately connecting with the causeway to the beaches west of Long Beach, which the State Park authorities propose to acquire for park purposes from the towns of Hemnstead and oyster Bay. "It would be well to.

note the splendid plans being developed by Westchester County for broad park ways in that county connecting with a nark system. With one exception these parkways and parks am being constructed with county money. Their purpose is to anticipate the growth of the city and of the county, to meet the traffic from the city ar.d to distribute it properly to create an orderly system for that county which will insure and stimulate the orderly growth ofs all the communities, prevent congestion and obviate the unsightly structures and advertising signs which accompany the establishment of ordinary roads. Commends Park linns. 'It Is now proposed by the co operation of local and State author! ties and with the advice of I'm city authorities In New Y'ork City to create a similar plan in Nassau and ultimately in the western part of Suffolk County.

I commend this plan to the earnest consideration of tho general public, which can be assured that the State authorities will do everything they can to carry out this program. i A great deal of Internal has re cently been aroused In regional planning. One of tho difficulties in the way of carrying out a regional plan Is that It Is usually done' on so complicated a scale and Involves so many social and economic, as well as construction reatures that nothing Is done about It in the end. This particular plan for tha solu tion or the Long isiuna iranic proo-1cm covers only one specific subject. By concentrating attention on it 1 believe that it can be workwa out and solved.

We have tremendous planning problems anectmg railroads, transit, pints, housing, recreation and other fields. They should be considered together but solved separately. If wc attempt to solve them all together I believe that wo shall get nowhere.
