23. Sanitary Board Answers Critics' Charges on Road Inwood, L. I Aug. 15 In a statement issued today offlrials of Sanitary District 1, embracing the area from Inwood to Valley Stream, answers criticism directed at them by the Nassau County Consumer's League for permitting private individuals to use the road running from the Jamaica-Rockaway Turnpike to the district's incinerator, some 500 feet away on meadow land near Meadowmere. The statement explains that autoists have the right to use the highway because when the district was set up some several years ago the property upon which the incinerator Is located was purchased with the understanding that a right of way existed to it.

Therefore officials point out that while the district paid for the cost of the road they cannot legally prevent property owners nearby from using it.

Kings Park School Will Open Sept. 5, Awaiting Budget The Kings Park Central School will open on Tuesday, Sept.

5, without the budget having been approved, for on the evening of the same day taxpayers in the Kings Park School District will meet to reconsider a budget slightly different from that which was rejected at the regular annual district meeting Ang. 1.

Long Beach, Aug. 14 A dark horse for the Democratic designation for mayor of Long Beach has developed. After four hours of deliberation the Democratic County Committee adjourned at a late hour In the afternoon yesterday with the deadlock unbroken. Somewhat to the surprise of the supporters of John F. Sweeney, for-! mer chief of police of Long Beach and Charles Gold, local publisher, the two principal candidates for the mayorality, Jacob D.

Pink, local business man, the dark horse, was reported to be leading in -the ballot- ting, but without a definite majority as yet. No official report of how the IK 'committeemen stood at the closing of yesterday's session was made, but from unofficial sources it was gathered that Fink had Tvotes. Sweeney, 6, Gold. 3 and that 2 were blank. The blank votes are generally regarded as pledged to City Treasurer Thomas J.

Hogan, a Democrat. All of the contenders appeared before the committee and spoke in their own behalf. The committee was still in debate when a legal light among Its members drew attention to the possibility that a decision reached on Sunday night might not be legal and be challenged later on. This caused the adjournment. Mr.

Fink is 40 years old and connected with moving picture enterprises. He has lived In Long Beach for about five years and is an all-year-round resident. He is reputed to be well and has been discussed at times as a possible candidate for mayor by the Republican county committee. Backers of Sweeney who had previously been confident of victory, charged that the injection of Fink into the race was a political move engineered by Mayor Frank Frankel to retain control of the incoming administration, and that the Republican Party would probably endorse the designation of Fink. While Chief Sweeney refused to commit himself, his supporters declared emphatically that he would be in the primary fight whether or not he is designated by the committee.

The Republican County Committee has a deadlock of its own on its har.ds which it will endeavor to break tonight. Fred Knob, present supervisor and Thomas A. Hogan, a Democrat, are at present the leading contenders for the designation with City Auditor John B. Mc-Cabe. a Republican, discussed as a possible compromise candidate.

The Democratic meeting will be tonight, when a compromise is expected to be effected. Gold, influential, local publisher, who is by Leader Michael Berlin for the designation for mayor, may offer to accept the designation for county supervisor instead when the committee meets tonight and thus clear the way for the selection of former police chief John F. Sweeney as the organization's mayoralty candidate. The selection of a candidate other than Gold, for mayor, without Gold's concurrence, would mean a bitter fight In the Democratic ranks and a likely victory for the Republicans, according to political veterans. Thorp and Krug Assailed by Ryan Great Neck, Aug.

15 Defeat of the movement for a "new deal" in Nassau Democratic affairs was predicted today by backers of Dr. Thomas J. Ryan of this village, independent candidate for county leadership, in the event of the election of either Philip N. Krug of Mineola or John S. Thorp of Rock-ville Centre to the position.
