Cuss Wet Dock Property

Another attempt to bring up the
question of the disposal of the wet
dock property developed at the meet.
ing of the City Council last night,
when Alderman Cannon made a
motion to have a public hearing upon
the subject.
This is the property, which, al
present. is occupied by the Perth
Amboy Shipbullding & Engineering
Company, better known as the Ram
say plant This concern holds a lease
on the property for ninety mine years.
1t Is said they want to buy it. At q
recent meeting Alderman Cannon in.
troduced a motion which provided fol
the sale of the property. Alderman.
at-large Eckert defeated the motion
by denouncing it. He said the pro.
perty, which today is the most valu-
able piece of land on the city's water
front, was deliberately given away by
the men in the city council To dis
pose of the property now when over
half the time of the lease has expired,
Mr.. Eckert said was even worse.
With the motion passed last night
the public will be given chance to
give their opinions. The meeting
promises to be lively one.

McCLELLANS TO GET
A CHEMICAL ENGINE.
Board Recommendations OF the COMMITTEE OF inc
Whole Providing for Many chdngesNew House for WGsHg-
ton Hose--LincoIns Get New Carriage,

The Board of Aldermen made known
their intention regarding the improve
ment of the fire department at their
meeting last night. The program Is
about the same as announced in the
Evening News several weeks ago.
The matter was handled very gently
and it was evident that everything
had been arranged before the meeting.
The entire program had been written
out and after it was read the formal
vote was taken and passed unanimous
ly. It is expected the improvements
will be completed in about three
months.
The recommendation were present.
ed as report from the committee OF
the whole. The committee recon-
monded that Washington Hose Com
pany have new building located
somewhere near the city hall and a
new hose carthage; Lincoln Hose
Company have a new hose cart and
building repaired and painted; q
modern set of ladders be purchased
for Protection Hook aud Ladder Com
pany Mcclellan Hose Company have
chemical engine, either team or
new horse, their building repaired
and painted and stable. The COM
m ttee also recommended that a new
company be organized to be located
in the western section of the city near
s NTH street.
A number of fremen were present
last night and the Hook and Ladder
boys did not hesitate to express their
feelings regarding the action OF the
aldermen. They claim modern ladders
cannot be placed on the old truck
which is liable to break down now on
any run.
There had evidently been division
among the members of the committee
when the question was under discus
sion. Aldermen Cannon and Smith,
both told.a News reporter to put them
down in favor of a complete new out
fit for the Protection boys, intimating
that an effort had been made to get q
new truck, but the majority had ruled.
Nothing was said regarding steam
ers. In fact, nothing was said at all,
excepting the reading of the recon-
mendations which were passed with
out comment. The amount of bonds
to be issued was not mentioned. The
board is not prepared to tackle this
subject as vet. They said the cost of
the work will have to be ascertained.
The reason for putting the new
company near Smith street is said to
be that within the near future.another
new company will be organized and
established somewhere in the vicinity
of Woodbridge road. This, it is
thought, will give equal protection
throughout the city.
The site for Washington Hose. house
will be somewhere near Smith and
Rector streets, the aldermen have
several lots in view. The house will
be of brick and very substantial
structure

the poorest lot China and they hypnotized by
Prince Tuan and other leaders.

FREE!

The cold. blank winter day breaks
ghasuy on the plains of northern Russia.
Gioomily onward stretch the wild, snow
covered steppes of frozen Siberia; not a
tree, not bush, in sight; and the winds
rise. blowing with fury and whirling
heaps OF snow round and round in the
air. On the frozen ground two men are
lying huddled together, trying 10 hide
themselves from the blast. struggling
against the deadly frost which creeps up
on them, slowly paralyzing their limbs.
They escaped from the party OF exiles.
How they were hunted, How, like wild
beasts, they were pursued, But the mer-
CHESS work in the cold subterranean mines
of Siberia stood before them. Think
ing OF it. they ran, breathlessly ran, leav-
ing their pursuers behind And
now they lie on the snow. with knees
bruised and bleeding with hands SCARED
and swollen, staring wildly before them on
the raw, cold morning breaking in the
east.
On theeir faces, which show intelligence
and resolution, is visible the impression
of the tyrannic government which perse-
cutes them as political criminals Their
features are pinched, the teeth set close
together. and steady fire burns in their
eyes which tells of mortal hatred to those
despots who stihe every voice that IS
raised against their unjust rule Their
long kaftans are tied with ropes around
the waist and their faces are muffled in
ragged shawls TO protect them from the
smarting wind. They had no time TO pro
vide themselves with proper clothing; IN
the dead of night they were suddenly
caught and transpOrted-but they escaped.
and now they are free! All alone on the
wild plains, free. How good! and how
warm They feel the cold no
longer. Their features relax. grow
softer, and their eyes become CLASSY. SLOW
ly filing with tears, as dim thoughts OF
home and native scenes pass family
through the brain. Their eyes
close, they embrace each other closer
and closer feeling so warm. Ana
around them the dreary steppes stretch
endlessly on and on to meet a leaden sky
that hangs gloomily overhead. The bitter
morning breaks on the infinite solitude,

Back, turn back, through the long, long years.
Back to the child | knew,
In little bingham bonnet
Shabby shoes and pink print dress
Oh! baby, was l once you?
Back to the maid the sunny girl,
Happy the whole day through,
Wearing a crown of bronze brown hair.
Eyes had she so clear and bright.
All, maiden, was once you?
Back to the bride at the altar there,
Solemn and shy and sweet,
Dear to the home she left that day.
Dear to the man who loved her then.
OH time pray be fleet!
Back to the mother love that dawned
To hope one single day,
Yet. filing then my heart has been
Through all of sorrow, or of JOY,
The one unfading ray.
Back-there seems no place left now:
Another will fill this space;
Will speak. hope, in love of me,
Some day OF me, as l am now,
And kiss my calm, cold face.
