Directional Signs Installed in Queens Acting under instructions from Boorugh President Harvey, Superintendent of the Highway Maintenance Bureau, Andrew J. Kenny has completed the Installation of 333 directional signs to aid the traveling public in locating the various communities and beaches of Queens. The poles supporting the signs are eight feet high, painted in black and white, while the signs are painted in blue and white letters easily distinguishable at a distance from the various highway intersections at which tUey have been installed. The directional signs Indicate 76 locations making it possible for the first time for visitors to Queens to find their way with certainty to any desired town or Summer resort.

The work has been done by the paint and sign division of the Highway Maintenance Bureau, located at Plant No. 1 in Flushing and is entirely independent of any activities of the Police Department, the latter confining Itself to the location and placing of police stanchions as part of the department's safety work. At Odds on Sale At Long Beach Controller Says It Was Due 1st Week in June Graves O.K's Delay Long Beach, June 19 Overlooking the fact that the Long Beach Charter Amendment Act signed by Governor Lehman on May 1 specifically provides that "the tax sale to be held by the city treasurer of Long Beach in 1933 may be held at, any time between June 1 and Sept. 1 in the discretion ol the treasurer," State Controller Morris S. Tremalne has Informed the United Taxpayers of Long Beach, It was learned here today, that the law calls on the treasurer to open the sale on the first Monday In June.

A telegram from the Controller, addressed to Benn Cohan, of United Taxpayers of Long Beach, answered an inquiry concerning the statement of Thomas J. Hogan, treasurer of Long Beach, that he would be held responsible by the Controller If he did not sell tax-liens for 1932. Cites Early Date Controller Termaine cited Section 113 of the Long Beach Charter Amendment Act stating that the act "imposes upon the city treasurer of Long Beach the duty of enforcing by sale the payment of delinquent taxes, such sale to commence on the first Monday In June In each year." The act makes It clear that each Of the annual tax sales shall Include "unpaid taxes, assessments or water rents which became due or payable before the end of the preceding fiscal year," but Section 120 of the act provides that the 1933 tax sale may be postponed until Sept. 1. Today's release of the State Controller's telegram follows on the heels of the release on Saturday of a letter addressed to a local newspaper by Mark Graves, Commissioner of Taxation and Finance, stating that "If the city officials should see fit to postpone the tax sale, I do not think their action would be Illegal, nor do I believe It would be questioned." The directly contradictory nature of Commissioner Graves' letter and Controller Tremaine's telegram leaves the situation very much up In the air concerning the question as to whether a tax sale Including arrears of taxes for 1932 Is to be held on Aug.

15, as repeatedly announced by the city treasurer. Some weeks ago the members of the city council pledged themselves to creditor banks to refrain from any interference, direct or Indirect, with the holding of the August tax sale. On the other hand, a taxpayers' movement to prevent the Inclusion of 1932 tax arrears in a 1933 tax sale has been gaining momentum. The tax sale1 question has been Injected into the political situation on the eve of what promises to be the liveliest campaign ever waged In this city. The efforts of the State Controller nad the Commissioner of Taxation to clarify the situation promise to add new fuel to the fire.

Scores 'Ownership Basis' of Marriage "The modern Independent woman deos not wish to be owned by the man who Is to be her husband," the Bishop Arthur W. Brooks, of the Apostolic Episcopal Church declared before the congregation of the Christ Church-by-thelSea, Broad Channel, Queens, yesterday. His topic was "Modern Woman and Her Attitude toward Marriage." "She does not wish to beconsld-ered his private property. She is willing that marriage should be a mutual partnership, founded in true love and affection but she revolts against the chattel property ownership basis. I am sure that this new attitude on marriage is more like the Christian ideal than the old view which regarded woman as personal porperty of her husband.

"Modern woman revolts at being given away," Bishop Brooks concluded. "They prefer to give themselves in marriage. Any man with brains will not attempt to own a woman." Elks at Freeport Honor L. R. Young Freeport, June 19 More than 250 members of the Freeport Lodge of Elks came to the Elks Club Saturday night for a testimonial dinner to the retiring exalted ruler, Lyman R.

Young. It was in the form of a dinner-dance, supplemented by vaudeville, and for the first time In gome years, was not a stag affair. Past Exalted Ruler Arved Larsen was toastmaster. The speakers were District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler Gustave Papenmeyer; President of the New York State Elks Association Fred Rasch and Exalted Ruler William P. Murphy of the Freeport Lodge.

The toastmaster presented the guest of honor with a life membership in the lodge and a check, while his wife received a bouquet of off the four Long Island counties by severing connections with Manhattan and enabling Long Island to direct iU own destiny. The chamber attributes these requests to the Indignation felt throughout Brooklyn and Queens the two city boroughs on Long Island and in Nassau and Suffolk Counties against the proposed tolls for use of East River bridges and other money-raising designs "to support New York City's army of officials and employes." In the meanwhile it was learned that Frank Ray Howe, president the Queensboro Chamber of Commerce, has born authorized ta engage counsel for the purpose of obtaining an opinion regarding the legality of the Board of Estimates plan to charge a licensing fee for automobiles using the city bridRes. No New Idea This is no new idra, the Long Inland Chamber reminds those who propose the secession movement. In a statement Meade C. Dobson, man aging director of the chamber, says: "The State of Iuig Island has been suggested often.

It Is an in triguing idea that crops up fre quently and in the most unexpected places. That the idea has persisted so long indicates that it has a wide appeal. "Geographically Long Island would make an Ideal State. It would rank as ninth State In the Union in population and the fourth in assessed valuation. As a Slate It would attain adequale representation in the Congress of the United States and in the State Legislature, something it does not now enjoy.

Improvement Progress Hit For at least half a century, the chamber finds, Long Island people have realized that the growth and development of the Island have been made more difficult by the slowness with which necessary Improvements have been constructed by the State and especially by the City of New York. "There Is evidence aplenty," chamber officials said, "that the rapid population growth of Brooklyn, Queens and Nassau is looked upon with disfavor by the masters of Manhattan. Long Island editors have written bitterly on the subject. Local orators have discussed it from the public platform. It Is a topic which will not down with the passing of the years, correspondence with the Long Island chamber reveals, and Is not merely a sudden impulse due to resentment over a fresh affront to the Long Island people.

Rather, those who now call for separation from New York State find In the present proposal of bridge tolls new evidence that the idea is worthy of most serious consideration." 'Vigor Always Needed' "The four counties on Long Island have always had to act vigorously," writes one advocate of a State of Long Island, "in order to obtain from the State of New York what we have always felt to be our Just appropriations. The chief trouble, however, has been with the City of New York. If the boroughs of Brooklyn and nQuces would secede from the City of New York and set themselves up as one great united city, with a population of 3,500,000, co-operating with the sister counties of Nassau and Suffolk, Long Island would then be able to solve Its own problems of growth, development and prosperity." Another proponent wrote: "Perhaps the disgusted citizenry of Brooklyn and Queens will prefer to withdraw from the Greater City of New York and, unhampered by the selfish Interests of the Borough of Manhattan, develop their own port and harbors, their own rail and vehicular connection with the mainland and otherwise make Long Island a better place in which to live," Queens Fire Fighter Dies of Injuries Full departmental honors will be accorded Fire Lt.
