New Long Island Corporations

New York, 1895

The Newtown light and power company has been incorporated with the secretary of state to manufacture at Newtown electricity for light, heat and power.

The amount of capital stock is $20,000 and the directors of the company are J. C. Smith of Babylon, George B. Gallagher of Brooklyn, Francis McKenna and George S. Jervis of Maspeth.

Articles of incorporation have been filed with the secretary of state by the New York Scientific Dairy company of North Hempstead. It proposes to carry on a general dairy business with a capital of $50,000.


New Railroad Station

The residents of Glen Cove who wanted the railroad station changed to Titus Crossing are not dismayed because the railroad commissioners refused to grant their application for the change. They are going right ahead and building a station, and the Long Island railroad officials have agreed to stop at both stations.
