ABANDONING THE SITE.

Not Enough Money Raised by the Sseng-
erbund to Build Their Hall.
The S@ngerbund of Jersey City Heights
has decided to abandon, temporarily at
least. the project of erecting music hall
and club house. Some time ago the
trustees purchased two lots on Summit
avenue, between Sip avenue and Newkirk
street, with the view of erecting such
building in accordance with elaborate
plans. But at the society's meeting
Thursday evening it was found that suf-
fcient funds were not ready TO authorize
the commencement of the work, and the
above decision was wisely made. The in
v6Stmeist in the let's was judicinns, and
two members have assumed their pur-
chase. The members will continue their
shares in the building stock and pay in
stallments on it, and when a sufficient
fund shall have accumulated the society
expects to secure another site and erect
the building

NOT UP TO THE Times
The Fire Board Complains
to the Board of Alder
III men.

At last nights meeting of the Fire Com
missioners the annual report Of the Board
to the Board of Aldermen was read. 1t
embodies all the reports of the Clerk,
Chief Engineer, Superintendent of Tele-
graph aud Inspector of Horses, all of
which have been already published.
The report states that the permanent
force of the department consists of seven
ty-six men, which in the opinion of the
Board is altogether inadequate for the re-
quirements of the fire service in this
city. In view of the large and rapid in
crease in population and the consequent
addition to the number of buildings the
Board does not hesitate to say that the
preservation of life and property in our
city demands a considerable increase in
the permanent force of the department.
AGAINST THE BUFFALoEs
The difficulty aud danger is not suffici-
emily met by the 1913 men-at-call. The
Board is satisfied that the call system, if
1t can be called system, has outliyed its
usefulness. and believes that to make the
department as efficient as it should be it
is necessary to increase the permanent
force, making it a full paid department.
The twenty-one houses are in good con
A1llOA anu IGPc1i, WIFI Out VI bHO cACoP-
tions. No. 5 Engine House, it is claimed, !,
is not adopted to fire department pur-
poses, and a new building should be
erected in its stead, and No. Truck
House will require alteration for the ac-
commodation of the Chief of Battalion.
The Department Hospital needs general
repairs, and the coal depot on Erie street
should be reconstructed. A detailed re-
port of minor repairs needed to the ap-
paratus of the department is given.
During the year 251 alarms were re-
ceived, 13e by the fire alarm telegraph, 4
by telephone and 100 verbal. The losses
by fire amounted to s407, AS, with insur-
ance thereon amounting TO $S44, ,S48.
DANGEROUS HYDRANTs.
The Board claims that the depart
ment labors under serious disadvan-
tages because of the old-time style
of fire hydrants in service in
some sections of The city, which may have
been good enough when hand engines
were in service, but are very inefficient
in connection with the steam engines of
today. Unfortunately these inferior hy-
drants are in the most thickly populated
sections Of our city.
The present fire alarm telegraph sys-
tenn, says the Board, has been IN use for
twenty years. The system is not adapted
to city of this size. The central office
system should be adopted as soon as pos
sible. The Importance of the fire alarm
telegraph does not appear to be appreci-
ated at its full value. 1t will cost IS, 600
to establish the system recommended
The interest on thar sum would be saved
by the saving on battery material alone.
The department received in the form of
appropriations from the Board of Finance
during the year and from other sources, a
total of $102, ,404. so; S., OBI. .04 were paid
for salaries, $50, 275 81 for general claims,
leaving balance of $47 .62, Of which there

We could go on with instance
after instance and illustration after
illustration of how the poor people
OF this country are ground down
with tariff burden OF taxntion
greater than they can bear, and we
will do SO in other articles, but can
only leave this subject now with
the common sense and intelligence
Of the reader to ponder over and we
hope he will investigate further for
himself on this great subject.

whatever. In this connection we
publish the following letter from
one of the leading business houses
OF Baltimore. lt was written to q
prominent shook dealer of this vi
clmty, and can be seen at this Office
ut any time. We have also similar
letters from various business houses
IN regard to the iniquities of the
new tariff bill.
BALTIMORE, Nh, Oct. 90, 1890
DEAR SIR-ln reply to your favor
OF the 18th inst.
There will be no call for sawed
shook before December and if YOU
can keep them back it will save
storage expense. We regret to say
the outlook is not very encourage
ing although our Windward Island
people say they will need a few
shook last of tho year.
The Mckinley tariff bill has
killed Molasses Shook all round, as
no boiling houses in this country
can run. Senator Frye OF Maine
told the exact truth when he said
"lf the sugar clause is passed by
the Senate as it comes from the
House the molasses boiling and
cooperage industries Of this coun-
try will be destroyed as if struck
10y lightning" In our opinion it
was the damdest outrage ever COM
mitted by political party. We
have today in Cuba and at Locust
Point about $4,000 OF molasses
shook and heading, and we have no
idea how to dispose of them. We
certainly will do the best we can to
help you to dispose OF your lot.
The Republican party under
whose mispule the Cooperagc and
carrying trade has been destroyed
ought to be defeated at our next
national election.
Very truly yours,
