Huntington's Soldiers' Monument

Temple Prime, president of the Soldiers and Sailors' memorial association of Huntington has made a generous donation to help pay off the association's debt. A soldiers' monument is soon to be erected in front of the association building. The statue, which is that of a soldier at parade rest, is to be six feet high and will stand on a pedestal eight feet in height.


Will This Apply to Jamaica?

Before the recent election held at Rockville Centre to decide upon the introduction of water, the question was raised as to who were legally entitled to vote. Judge Bartlett gave a decision that the only qualified voters were taxpayers whose mines appeared on the last assessment roll of the incorporated village. Will this decision apply to the village of Jamaica on the question of appropriating money ?
