The present precinct, including practically the entire Second Ward, covers 22 square miles. With a force of a little more than 160 men, ample protection cannot be given to all sections.

By dividing the precinct, better protection could be given to all sections, it is said. It was reported today that similar plan is being drawn up in the Richmond Hill precinct. This plan, said, would establish a precinct in Gardens and adjoining communities, but would not include Forest Hills. It is believed that these plans will be submitted to Commissioner Whalen for his approval within the week. Protest State Approval Of Huntington Highway Huntington, L.

Now at the end of the term Charles Anderson, instructor of the class, is declaring his amazement at the extraordinary progress made by these particular pupils. Teacher Is Pleased. "On the whole," Mr.

Anderson declared, "they started off better, progressed faster and accomplished more in one term than any of the other groups. It's amazing to see how skillfully they have learned to handle their tools. I started them off with smaller pieces, but next term they'll be making pieces of furniture for their homes." Especially proud is Mr. Anderson of little Lloyd Gemmings of Forest Hills. Lloyd is one of the youngest members of the class and his body is at present encased in a plaster cast.

Yet he is one of the best and fastest shop workers in the school. "The skill with which that boy can handle a jigsaw is says Mr. Anderson. "And he can handle all of his other tools well, too. Last week he came into the shoproom with some materials and mended his own crutches." The other boys, too, have shown decided ability and an unusual concentration and desire to learn, Mr.

Anderson points out. Each of them has constructed amusing wooden toys, tie racks and all sorts of other useful articles during the, course of the term. Girls Also Active. for two terms. Won Arithmetic Prize.

The girls in these special classes have not allowed themselves outdone by the boys. Although they cannot show their special abilities and skill with hammer and saw, they have managed to make themselves outstanding members of the school by their high scholarship, attendance, and conduct marks. Seven members of the two special classes will be graduated at the end of this term. Four of the prizes presented to members of the graduating classes for unusual scholarship will be awarded to members of this group. Each of the four recipients boasts unusual records of achievement.

Mrs. Harriet Palmer, who teaches the higher grades, points with pride to each of them. There is Ilsa Kanitz, who came to this country one three and one-half years ago. On graduation day, Isla will receive the English.

K. At Huntington Town Engages Expert to Map Out Program for Present and Future Huntington, L. Feb.

1--A planning and zoning program for the Town of Huntington to cost approximately $25,000, extending over a period of three years, was approved yesterday by Huntington Town Board when the matter was placed before them by Johnston de Forest, one of the members of the commission, acting for Schuyler Meyer, the newly appointed chairman, who is still ill at his home. This was in the form of a contract between the commission, with the approval of the Town Board, and Richard Schermerhorn of 342 Madison Manhattan, a zoning and planning expert, who will start work immediately. The budget for Mr. Schermerhorn's work will be $13,175, and this likewise will be spread over a period of three years. He will receive $1,425 upon the completion of the base map, $2,675 upon the completion of the first period of planning and $900 upon the completion of the first period of zoning.

These items are to be completed on or before Nov. 1, 1930. On Feb. 1, 1931, further payment on above mentioned items to the extent of $3,050 will be made, and $375 for the completion of the second period of planning and $2,350 upon the completion of the second period of zoning. Upon the completion of the entire program, which is expected to be on or before Feb.

1, 1932, the remaining amount of $2,400 is to be paid. The only additional allowance Mr. Schermerhorn will receive will $50 for each public hearing and conference with the commission held in Huntington or elsewhere in the Town of Huntington, in excess of eight. No such charge, however, will be allowed for conferences held in Manhattan. The commission plans to go quite extensively into proposition of zoning the entire township and outlining such plans that will take care of the township for years to come.

Maps of streets, water districts, sewer district, for drainage and everything else as will be needed in making Huntington a model town in the future will be considered in the contract executed with Mr. Schermerhoin.

Astoria Line Extension Up to Board Meeting Thursday Hearing to Decide Question of Subway or Elevated Whether projected new extension of the Astoria elevated line eastward to Cross Island Boulevard is to be built wholly as an or partly in an open cut, with provision for ultimate roofing, is to be determined at hearings which start Thursday morning before the Board of Transportation, 250 Hudson Manhattan. The line is tentatively proposed as an elevated from 2d and Ditmars along the latter avenue, Astoria Boulevard and 112th St.

and private property to Nassau Boulevard. From there on, the suggestion is made it might be lowered in ditch. The exact bounds of the "L' and depressed portions, however, have not been set and the decision rests on the sentiments of the Queens administration and property owners at the hearings. Must Start as Elevated. The line must start as an elevated railroad because it connects with one, but along both, Astoria and Nassau Boulevards there is sufficient width of street to permit it to be sunk part or all the way, leaving vehicular lanes on either side and bridges at street crossings.

It is proposed, if such a plan is adopted, to build the walls of the sides strong enough to support roof, so that in the future, as the section becomes more densely populated and street space is needed, a steel reinforced concrete top can be laid, completely covering the tracks and stations and permitting traffic above. The difference in cost between an elevated line and one laid in such an open cut will not be great, it is declared, because there are few subsurface structures, such as water and gas mains, to be removed. To Cost $17,700,000. The estimated cost of the 8.1 miles of construction is placed at around $17,700,000. It is planned as a 2-track line from the end of the present "L' to Astoria Boulevard.

Then it would widen to a fourtrack line through Astoria Boulevard, 112th St. and Nassau Bouleyard, would to Parsons contract Boulevard, again to where two tracks. There are two difficult engineering problems involved in the line. One is the intersection of the Flushing line at Roosevelt Ave. and the other is crossing Flushing Creek.

The Flushing line is elevated at 112th St. where the extension would cross it. The elevation is not high enough to permit the new line to go underneath so that it will either have to be carried over or dropped into the ground. The latter course is very difficult and probably an overhead crossing will be decided upon. No borings have been made yet in the vicinity of Flushing River to determine subaqueous conditions, but it is believed that the ground is swamp to a considerable depth, which will make construction of a tunnel or the sinking foundations for a bridge difficult.

1-Edward Percy Howard, former president of this village, will not support actively any political group in the coming campaign.

In his counter statement, Blackman declares that there is no ground for this fear and that his company has the best interest of the village in mind. the bit of shore front stands today, he says, it is a catchbasin for sorts of debris from the bay and a refuge for tramps and other undesirables which his company is desirous of ending. He continued: "For some time past the village administration has been spending the village money uselessly in combating non-existing threats against the welfare of the village, while holding forth glowing prospects which could not be accomplished and which, so far as they become realities, have proved detrimental to the interest of the village. the present opposition by his honor, the Mayor, and his adherents is but a continuation of this il1-advised course."
