tee sought to secure for Queens a larger representation in the municipal assembly. and a provision that the representa- tives be chosen from sections of the Borough rather than from the Borough at large. As the result of the first hearing, the charter was amended so as to provide that there be one alderman for each assembly district; and three councilmen, instead of four, for each Senatorial district except Rich- mond and Queens, which should each have two. The char- ter was further amended so as to provide that in Queens one councilman should be chosen from Long Island City and Newtown, and one from Flushing, Jamaica, and Hemp- stead. Thus the efforts of the Association Committee secured for the Borough of Queens a larger representation in the municipal assembly, and for the old towns of the county something approaching local representation.
The committee appeared before the Commission, January 9th, on the subject of inter-communication between differ- ent portions of the city, with the result of securing a change in the charter allowing the city to construct, own, maintain and operate a department of public docks and ferries.
The Board of Education, represented before the Charter Commission by Joseph Fitch and John Holley Clark, also secured a change in the charter giving the Borough of
224
HISTORY OF FLUSHING
Queens two assistant superintendents, in addition to the one superintendent as originally provided.
Though the Village Association had been able to effect several important changes in the city charter, still the docu- ment was far from being all that was desired. As a last effort, therefore, the Association's committee addressed a communication to Governor Black, in April, 1897, stating many objectionable features in the charter, and requesting - him to veto it. The charter received the Governor's ap- proval, and on the first of January, 1898, the Town of Flushing became a part of New York City.
The Village Association, in addition to the service above referred to, did much to defeat the scheme for con- necting Newtown Creek and Flushing Bay by a ship canal. An exhaustive report on the subject was submitted to the Secretary of War, who, in making an unfavorable report to Congress, used many of the arguments originally advanced by the Village Association.
1895
While Flushing was beginning this struggle for exist- ence, the town passed the 250th anniversary of its settle- ment. ·
It is to be regretted that the year was allowed to pass without due commemoration. The Society of Friends, how- ever, arranged and carried out in the same year, viz., on
-
225
MODERN FLUSHING
May 29, 1895, a celebration of the 200th anniversary of the building of their Meeting-house. For this enterprise they are to be commended, but if their own records are to be relied on, their gathering was one year too late to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the opening of their first Meeting- house, and at least twenty-two years too early to celebrate the bi-centennial of the present Meeting-house. However, on the day above named nearly two thousand Quakers and their friends assembled in Flushing, from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana. Old friends exchanged greetings, places of interest were visited, speeches were made. 41
On the First Sunday in November, 1897, the Rev. J. 1897 Carpenter Smith, S. T. D., completed his fiftieth year as Rector of St. George's Church. The anniversary was ap- propriately celebrated by his congregation; and the older residents of the village, of every creed, joined in presenting their congratulations.
Within the limits of the Town of Flushing are also the villages of College Point, Whitestone, Bayside, Douglaston

and Little Neck. College Point, before it was taken into the city, was an incorporated village; so was Whitestone. Col- lege Point is a manufacturing place ; its population is mainly German. It has a fine water front and many beautiful homes. The development of College Point's business interests was mainly due to the enterprise of Conrad Pop- penhusen, who settled there, in 1854, and erected a large factory for the manufacture of hard-rubber goods. The Poppenhusen family were instrumental in extending the rail- road to College Point. The village has good schools, churches of various denominations, a fine water system, and many social and charitable organizations. The first means of communication between Flushing and College Point, across the meadows, was a plank walk, built by Dr. Muhlenberg. The causeway was built in 1855. The trains of the Long Island Railroad and the electric cars now furnish frequent communication between Flushing and College Point.
Further east on the North Shore is Whitestone. It has a fine water-front, many pleasant homes, good schools and churches.
Still further east is Willets Point, a Government Post. This point of land, at the narrows which are generally regarded as the dividing line been the East river and Long
227
MODERN FLUSHING
Island Sound, was formerly a part of the Willets farm. In 1861, it was purchased by the United States, and fortified as a military post. It later became the headquarters of the Engineer corps of the army.
Beyond Willets Point is Little Neck Bay, in early times known as Matthew Garretson's Bay. On the western side of the Bay is situated the village of Bayside, with its many large and comfortable country places; on the other side are the villages of Douglaston and Little Neck.
On the first of January, 1898, the town of Flushing, with all its villages, became a part of New York City.
