THREE NEW FIRE HOUSES
West Bergen Residents Will
Ask the Legislature to
Authorize Them.

The residents of the West Bergen see
tion, south Of Communipaw avenues are
again clamoring for a fire house in that
neighborhood. This matter has been ag-
itated, for a long time by the people who
believe that their demands are just.
The Improvement Committee OF the
Eighth Ward Republican Club has taken
the matter into consideration and papers
to secure the improvement. A sub-com-
mittee consisting of Edward A. Ransom,
Jr., and Marcus Higginbothom, Jr., were
appointed to consult counsel and have a
Sill drafted TO be presented TO the Legis-
Iature empowering the Board Of Finance
to issue bonds for the erection Of three
fire houses.
Mayor Pagan has been consulted by
the Committee and he favors a measure
asking for funds enough to build three
additional houses. One to be located in
West Bergen, one in Hudson City and
one in lower Jersey City.
The bill viii doubtless be drafted By
Corporation Attorney Robert Carey. Ii
is expected that the bill will be passed.

Some amusement was created by a

Yesterday to the effect that the club was
contemplating the erection of a new club

took the story seriously. The story grew
out of a remark of Mr.. Frank Scribner.
owner Of the clubs present headauarters.
to the effect that if Mayor Fagan's Con
ISOLATION Street and Water Board should
get in control the increase in the mem
bership Of the club would be such that
the present quarters would be too small.
and that if the Consolation Board did
get in he would extend the present build
ing, facing on Central avenue, back to
Cambridge avenue, if necessary, with
another entrance on that thoroughfare.
Mr.. Scribner erected the present build
ing with the understanding that the club
was to occpy the second story as head
quarters. There is ampR accommoda-

AD,v,,A..N

Notwithstanding the lamentation
over the alleged decadenoe of the
shipbuilding industry in the United
States official statistics seem to show
that we are doing a pretty fair
share toward increasing the worlds
tonnage. Thus 1909 we built s17,-
us, tons. which is about 40, 900 tons
more than was constructed by Ger
many. In 1890 our total tonnage
was 4,424, 900 and in 1902 it had
grown to, k,797,000. Most of this,
of, course, has been built for service
in coastwise trade and on the Great
Lakes, but the fact remains that its
value is enormus as a factor in our
prosperity. While the comparative
neutrality-suspicious. Of American
ocean steamships may be regretted,
it is always well to remember that
our home commerce on the water
is one of the most important
material features of the national de-

products which had they been
bought, would represent q large
slice Of a good salary each year.
Then the absolute wholesomeness
and purity OF such food produced at
home count for not q itt]e-the
hesping painful of strawberries just
fresh from the garden, tho fresh
laid eggs, the Jersey cream-a pitch
erful. When a man has to buy these
things, only the few can afford such
iberality. Then better than all, is
the daily consciousness Of being
able to do itall yourself, the feeling
of independence realized, and the
resulting development of all the
better side of ones nature in the
doing Of it. The typical American
home of the coming years will be
one where all this may be done
where man will still retain his God
ordained connection with the soil
to his benefit both mentally morally
and physically.
