fore the boroughs were erected obtained
a judgment against the township for
moneys which he had advanced to the
township while he was in office and the
township paid it. The township then
brought suit against the three boroughs
to compel them to pay share of the
judgment.
The matter came up before Vice Chan
cellor Stevens this morning on final argu-

township, Il. A. Campbell for Hasbrouck

TRENTON. June 4, 79O0-The State Of
New Jersey on Saturday made payment
of $1,000 to the State Firemen's Home
Commission, to complete its last payment
on the new State Home for INDECENT and
Disabled Firemen, at Boonton. This viii
complete the expenditure of $1,000 for the
property and the home, which the State
authorized the State Firemen's Commis-
sion to expend for this distinct purpose
This is the third payment for this pur-
pose through the State Commissioner OF
Banking and Insurance, William BEETLE.
The State Home does not cost the Stats
penny. but the State has control of it.
The money is raised from the two per
cent. fee collected from fire insurance COM
panies organized outside Of the State who
are now doing an insurance business in
the State.
This money formerly went to the exempt
fire associations scattered throughout the
State. but it has for three years been de-
voted to the purchase and improvement
Of the home, and what is to follow will
be used for the maintenance OF the home.
Through the generosity of the exempt
associations scattered throughout the
State, the home is furnished and ready
for occupancy.
The accommodations are limited to for
ty-fiye men, but can be increased to sew
eral hundred when the demands are made
on it.
The formal opening, the date Of which
has not been set, viii bring hundreds of
old firemen to Boonton, and they win
participate in a street parade. The pres
ent Commission will then present the
home to the Governor, and after he re-
ceives it he will announce the perma-
nent Commission to run it, and it is al
together possible that the present Com
mission will be reappointed.
