Hempstead to Be Reincorporated

New York, 1895

The special election held at Hempstead on Tuesday for the purpose of deciding whether the village should be reincorporated under the laws of 1870 was decided in favor of the proposition. Under the old charter the village trustees were powerless to make improvements. The new incorporation gives them the power.
