FIRE MEN DO EXCELLENT WORK
Blazing Roof Yesterday Kept the
Trucks Going.

Two small fires yesterday morning,
though small only because the depart
ment got there with usual alacrity and
then got busy as well, served to dispel
the ennui at headquarters. These
alarms were the first in quite awhile
and good record was made.
The first alarm came in at $50 yes
terday morning.
Fire had originated in the kitchen of
Mr.. @. W, Lamar's residence on
Brown street, and the flames had made
good Roadway by the time the trucks
arrived few minutes later.
Mr.. Lamar had kept the fire in
check to some extent, and the DEPART
meat soon had it under control. A
small portion of the kitchen was burned
away, but the loss Will hardly exceed
$25 or $50. It is believed that the
origin of the fire was accidental.
The second alarm came in from Plum
street at 1850 o'clock.
A two story frame building, owned
by Mr.. Dudley and occupied by Joe
Ashley. worthy old negro, was in a
blaze, the fire starting on the roof
The flames were confined there and
soon extinguished. The loss was not
considerable, as probably 800 will Gov
er repairs. The origin of this fire was
not known, probably resulting from
some defect in the chimney.

Proposition.

Suggested That Company Build In

A permanent armory owned and con-
trolled by the company and sufficient
for its needs for all time, is a PROPOSE
ton now being considered by the
Americas Light Infantry, and so favor
ably that it is quite possible the plans
suggested may be carried out with

a little more money Will do it.
And with the characteristic energy
of the soldier boys, with the willing
cooperation of their friends, the enter
PRISE is sure of success and the Light
Infantry will soon be in it's own quar-
ters here.
AS is well known, the Americas Y.

building in the business centre, and
the Light Infantry is anxious to add
one more story thereto, either the
third or fourth floor and entirely at its
own expense, This will be we'll ar
ranged and equipped as drill hall
and armory for the Light Infantry.
The company has on hand about hall
the amount required, and can easily
raise the remainder.
| This plan would serve double pur-
pose. 1t will easily give the military a
permanent home far preferable to the
rented quarters now occupied; it will
give the Y. M. G. A. a much hand
somer and more imposing structure.
the building will be one in which the
entire city will feel double interest,
and everybody should help.
It is not improbable that the Library
Association could be made a party as
we'll
The first floor could be used by the
library, the second by the Y. NJ. @. A.
ard the other floors for offices and for
armory purposes. If all or any por-
ton of the library lot could be secured
1t would be of great advantage to all
interested. But this is question for
later consideration among the three
organizations.
However, that plan for a joint build
ing between the Y. NJ. @. A. and Light
Infantry is being discussed with great
favor, and among prominent C tiz3ns
who will give it financial aid.
