A tnx rate of $2.1 Hi on eaeh $100: of ttsp- psscd valuation tn the town of Brookhaven for the coming year , nn increase of G3 V4 cents over l ns t year , waa announced yesterday afternoon by Supervisor Macintosh, The genera l rate for 1929 is $1.30. an increase of 35 cents. This is paid in the incorporated villages of Patch- ogue , Bellport , Oldffold and Shore- ham , whereas last year the rate in these villages dropped eight cents and the total tax rate showed an increase of but 10 cents. ... For the sections of the town lying V\vitliout tho corporate limits of thc Wliages there is besides the $1.30 a highway tax of 80 cents on each $100 of assessed valuation , or an increase of 17 cents over last year; also a . health tax of 1 V4 cents , an increase of a half emit over lust year, which makes thu total M.Ul-i . , The total assessed valuation of Brookhaven is $30 , 371 ,242 as- com- pared with $34 , 300 , 892 , an increase of $2 , 070 , 350 over last year. Of this total amount Patchoguo leads with more than one quarter of the valua- tion, $9 , 562,733. This unusually large increase in the tax rate is explained by several factors. The general town budget lias : been increased $45 , 032.62 , in- cluding the health items and in addi- tion the Brookhaven ' s share of the county budget has been boosted $60 , - . COO , both of -which factors figure pro- minently in the setting of the rate. : i The highway budget is increased by 577 , 000 due largely to the fact that •nearly $100 , 000 is to be spent in per- manent improvements. ¦ However this rate is not all that ; tlie ^ districts must pay. In some out- ysitje sections there are fire ' and light- n ing taxes and in Port jT«fferson algo , a -\Swei- tax. , _chool tax _r-xj_ite- \ apart , sre also collected by the town.

In the Junior High there were seven 100% rooms out of ten home rooms , and only seven who fail- ed out of. 308 pupils. Town Tax Rate Takes a Jump of 53 1-2 Cents Over Last Year Mr. Hoover , confident of the out- come , has turned his Washing ton home over to real estate dealers for sale. If he is defeated he will make a _ world tour to revisit the scenes of h \ engineering triumphs. The nation- al . campaign expenses rose above $4 , - 000 , 000 in his party and he has made good at a job he dislikes. He is not a campaigner. He has withstood to tho , end the frantic appeal s that he employ ballyhoo methods and by this he has won the voters ' respect. Those who; would have revealed the under- lying bitterness of the pre-election battle have been kept under control. Fho campaign has developed sonie N-M sportsmanship. Franklin T>.

On October 14 Amy Perry, daugh- ter of Officer Samuel Perry, was pick- ed up by a man and offered 50 cents \to do an errand\ . When , she replied that her father was a police officer she was put out of the car at once In front of the Elks ' Club. Other Sun- days the stranger accosted other girls with similar offers. The last time his car number ' was taken down at St. Paul' s Sunday- school and turned over to headquar- ters. This Sunday when the machine with these numbers passed thc corner Officer Embler held the man and he was questioned , and identified by two girls at headquarters. Officer Perry charged Vallee with enticing his daug hter for what he believed were immoral purposes and he was releas- ed in bail of $500 till yesterday morn- ing- Vallee ' s attorney, Russell Page Koehler of Islip argued for a dismis- sal on the grounds that the g irls ' testimony would not be conclusive and no actual crime had been committed. The police agreed that the case was a weak one but were convinced that Vallee was the man. Judge Schoenfeld in dismissing the charge told him there was no question in his mind that ' Vallee was the man and advised him to \have his mind examined\ . He warned him to keep out of Patchogue. Strange are the ingredients of post- Volstead liquors and stranger still the effects, that.they, have on. human be ; ings , judging from the invisible attack that a . Patchogue man . was certain was beingnmade on him late Saturday nig ht. It brought out .the police pa- trol and three officers , ready to (|uell what they supposed was a free-for-all. The message came from a Bailey Ave- nue man that he was being attackeu by a gang and wanted protection. A squad was sent. They could find no signs of an attack but on entering the house found the would-be victim in a highly intoxicated condition. HAS AN AWFUL BATTLE WITH THE DEMON.
