CHIEF HICKEY Is THE MAN.
1t Is His Duty to Issue Permits for
Oil Storage Tanks.

The question as TO whether Building
Inspector Nelson or fire department Of
fiCials have authority to permit the
building of the Sanderson & Richart oil
tank in Green Ridge, has been settled
III favor of the latter. This conclusion
has been based uron the following eX-
cerpts from the digest of city laws and
ordinances:
Page 16l, Section 3-FrOm and after the
passage of this ordinance 1t shall not he
lawful to store petroleum, kerocue oil,
bcn2inc, n2ptha or olher innammable
oils or burning fluids In greater Quanti-
ties than five barrels without
first having such place inspected by the
chief of the fire department and the
chairmen of the fire department commit
tees of the select and common councils
and a permit issued therefor.
Page 16l, Section G-Thc city clerk shall
keep a record of the action of said chief
and Chairmen and shall Issue the permits
when ordered by any two Of them. For
each permit issued he shall be entitled to
receive So for the use of the city.
If the tank was to be enclosed in a
building, the matter would rest with
the building INSPECTOR. Before Chief
Hickey and the two Chairmcn direct
the city clerk to issue the permit they
will lay the application before a meet
ing Of the joint fire department COM
mittee. The meeting has been called
for next Tuesday evening.

THEIR MAN WAS KILLED.
Death Year Ago Prevents n Search
by the Police.

The police will never find Jake"
Bold. He was killed last summer

ter from James II. Boyle, of Brooklyn,

trying to board a fast freight train

CHARLES HOYT'S NEW COMEDY.
Fine Company WiII Present 1t at tn c
LyCeum Tonight.

Charles Hoyt is a playwright who
always has a reason, and a good one
for whatever he does. For instance,
in his new comedy, "a Day and Il
Night" one act is supposed to occur
during the day. while the other two
are at night. Some one inquired why
this division had been made in favor
of the night.
IF l had made two acts in the day
and one at night" he answered, 1t
would not have been possible to locate
the comedy in New York at all. What
is dinner time in most places is the
hour for early breakfast in New York.
Dinner is eaten barely in Cine to
reach the theater as the curtain rises
while the third meal is taken leisurely
somewhere toward midnight. In fact,
if rewrote this comedy / would di-
vide the first act into two scenes, and
only have the first one of these two
occur while the sun shines"
This new comedy will be seen at the
LyCeum tonight.
