THE GUARD UP IN ARMS
Fourth Militia Officer Says
Volunteers Better Stay
In GreenviIle.

Several officers of the Fourth Regiment
were asked last evening for their opinion
regarding the alleged decision of the vol
unteers now in camp who, it is said, nave
decided not to have the National Guard
act as an escort on their arrival in this
city.
The story was exclusively told in "The
News'' of yesterday. The members OF
the regiment, it has been said on excel
lent authority, wish only the veterans to
escort them.
One officer appeared to be very indignant
when the subject was mentioned.
1.-THE = with them he exclaimed, We
hemently. 1T would be a good thing
for the city if a majority of the regi-
ment stayed right where they are. OF
course, if the squad goes out, 1 shall go,
too But you can rest assured that the
decision of the volunteers does not bother
u.s."
others were reticent. These said that
perhaps they might say more when OIL
cially informed of the action.
No information has been received from
the Greenville camp as yet as to just how
the Hudson County companies are to
come home.
Chairman Frank o. Cole, of the Recep-
ton Committee, expected reply from
Colonel Gilmore this morning He says
that he expects the answer to be on hand
in time for the committee meeting tomor-
row night At this meeting an Executive
Committee will doubtless be appointed to
prepare for the soldier boys home COM
ing.
Mr.. Cole will suggest that the march
be from the depot to the City Hall, where
the men will be reviewed by the COM
mittee. From there up Mercer street to
the viaduct to Bergen Square where they
will disband. The banquet, If there is to
be one, will probably take place in the
Arnlory a few days after the boys ar.
rive There are about six hundred men
in the Hudson County companies and
spreads will be prepared for the soldiers
and the members of the committee.

FINANCE BOARD SPLIT.
Republicans Wanted More
Appointments For Fire
Board 5 Democrats
Opposed It.

For the first time since its organization
the Board of Finance last night had a
split 1t was caused by a resolution
provided that the Comptroller should set
aside of the $4,000 appropriated for an
engine company for the Hudson City
section $3,787.50 for the equipment of a
chemical engine in the Bergen district
Fire Commissioner Mills, Aldermen Fry
and Decker, John Weastell, w. S. Dunn
and H. Bertholf waited on the Board and
made an appeal for better fire protection
for Greenville and Bergen. They advanced
the argument that had there been another
engine company in Greenville, Public
School No. 20 would not have been de-
stroyed They seemed to have a mono-
poly of that opinion. The whole outfit,
including the salaries of the men, would
be only $4,000, the gentlemen asserted.
Commissioner Simpson was with the
committee. He called attention to the
fact that the appropriation to the Fire
Board last year was $1,000 less than usual.
In offering this resolution, Mr.. Simp-
son announced that many valuable build
ings have been erected in Bergen and
that others are in course of erection.
The facilities for protection against fire
are entirely inadequate, he held. He said
the people were entitled to some protec-
ton.
President Heppenheimer attacked the
resolution. He said the money had origin
ally been appropriated for the Twelfth
Ward and he contended that the Board
had no right to use it for any other pur-
pose He explained that the only reason
the money had not been used was be-
cause of trifiing defect in the manner
of appropriation
Hudson City, President Heppenheimer
argued, needs protection as much if not
more than Bergen. President Heppen-
heimer called attention to the fact that
Commissioner Mills had gone ahead and
bought horses and harness for the Ber-
gen company without waiting to see
whether the Finance Board would pay for
them or not. He made final appeal for
the defeat of Mr.. Simpsons resolution,
and Commissioners Bailey and Midlige
voted. with him. Mr.. Ringle voted with
Mr.. Simpson.
The Republican Fire Commissioners
want chemical company created in Ber-
gen now so that they may gobble the
seven or eight appointments that will
have to be made.
President Heppenheimer knows that
and proposes holding up the plan as long
as practicable.

LEAKS IN
SCHOOL NO. Il
Water Dripped Through the
Roof in Glass Room 6
Yesterday.
HOLES IN STEAM PIPES
Puddles Made By Them in
Cellar and Yard Pupils
Wade Through.

While sessions were being held In
School No. 12 yesterday, water began to
leak through the ceiling in grammar
class room No. 6. This was due to the
deplorable condition of the roof. The
state of affairs existing in that school
has been exclusively published in saThe
News from time to time Not until yes
terday morning was any attempt made
to remedy the miserable condition of the
leaky roof.
A force of men in the employ of Michael
Lillis appeared on the scene about seven
o'clock. but owing to the inclemency OF
the weather could not make the necessary
repairs This morning the men went to
work. Repairs are being made on the
four corners. the places which need il
most.
Small pieces of plaster continue to fall
in the class rooms on the third floor,
where the ceiling is in very poor condi-
tion. These ceiling, it is understood, will
NOT be attended to until vacation when
metallic ceilings will be put up.
The steam heating pipes put in by Heath
ington Bros, under the supervision OF
Neil Campbell, the contractor, who was
given the contract to make all the neces-
Sdry repairs, are IN poor Snape- Inc JOINTS
in the coils of pipes in the boys toilet in
the yard leak, and several pools have
formed on the floors. The youngsters
are obliged to wade through this water.
In the cellar the return steam pipe LEAKS
at one or two joints. The pipes have
been in use but very short time.
When a heavy pressure of steam is on
the kissing from the leaking pipes can be
heard all over the cellar. These pipes will
| undoubtedly continue to grow worse usl-
less Immediately repaired.
The window drains in the basement
need attention. These windows admit
| light to the basement The spaces to
| admit the light are about three feet
| square. AT the bottom about two inches
of water has accumulated, owing to the
drain pipes being plugged up. The water
| has forced its way through the stone
! foundation into the cellar. Little pools
| are scattered all over the cellar. Because
| of this it is necessary TO keep big hreS
| both day and night.
| Plaster keeps on falling from the CELL
