THE BAST HAMPTON STAR. EAST HAMPTON. N. Y., FEBRUARY 23. 19S7
Bonne Downs Longwood
East Hampton High School's hopes
for another League Five basketball
pennant were lost as long as two
weeks ago but the team’s determin­
ation to m ove up higher in the
standings never has lost its impact.
It mattered little to the Bonackers
who fell in their way and the last
adversary to feel the sting was
Longwood High, which East Ham p­
ton knocked out of contention last
Friday for any League honors.
The 60-58 score was identical to
the first gam e but a little more
was at stake in this one. W illiam
M yrick’s 25-point effort enabled
him to set a new scoring record
with an accumulated total of 351
points, bettering the record of 348
set by Joe Green during the 195253 season. Myrick has one game left
in which to increase his margin and
to also better his County-wide stand­
ing as well. He ranks fifth among
the top ten and could move up yet
another notch with any kind of a
scoring effort against W illiam Floyd
tomorrow.
No Press
Coach Bob O ’Neil, Longwood’s
mentor, expected East Hampton to
press but Coach Jack Lilie had
other plans. His boys didn’t press
and the tactic served to unnerve
the
Lions
somewhat throughout
much of the period.

East Hampton’s wrestling team
fared a good deal better than any
of the experts expected and wound
up third in the League Five tourna­
ment last week with a total of 59
points. Riverhead won the tourna­
ment with 161 points, with W esthampton capturing second place
honors with 68. Other finishers in

The Trustees are making a study
of the intersection at the signal light
on Woods Lane in an effort to pro­

visibility is poor, the Trustees said,
drivers w h o are unfamiliar with the
intersection see neither the signal
light nor the direction signs and
drive through the fence in front of
the Inn.
In studying a photograph sub­
mitted by
Police Chief Francis
Leddy they noted a possible need
for a change in the illumination at
the Inn but warned against the un­
desirability of its being too bright.

It is hard to determine, from this
distance, how m any typhoid cases
East Hampton had; it was all very
hush-hush at the time. But the local
health authorities took it seriously
enough. There was a citizens’ m eet­
ing.

The Proposal
Mr. Barnes’ small leather-covered
Field Book of the sewer survey,
bearing the date December, 1900,
has been placed in the safe at the
Village office along with the orig­
inal of the survey.
The proposed sewer would have
carried
wastes
from
the
entire
Village area, from Three Mile Har­
bor Road w est to Lily Pond, into
an above-ground reservoir “Down
Hook,” near the present site of the
Post Office. From there, the sew ­
age would have been pumped up­
hill to gravel beds, in the woods
near the Spring Close H ighwayTown Lane intersection.
This report, of 19 legal-size, hand­
written pages, is too technical to
be commented upon here; but the
engineer described his survey of
something over 20 miles of levels
run over “ practically all the roads”
between Tw o M ile
Hollow and
Georgica Road, on the one hand,
and “Freetown, Cedar, Cooper, and
Toilsome Roads on the other.”
He says that anything done at
that time should consider the future
as w ell: ‘T o r when a place begins
to grow, it is pretty hard to fore­
see where the growth will take
place. A nd the engineer that looks
only at the present is apt to leave
som e bad and expensive problems
to solve in time to com e."
