South Amboy, Mar 10:-When read
ing in Tuesdays News that Mayor
Seaman expressed SUI prise at the little
borough of South Amboy having such
an efficient machine as Protection en- :
CINE, it might be interesting to ex-
plain how it happened. A number Of
citizens here got together and formed
a fire company independent OF the
borough. The people were making
a fight for less insurance and about
sixty of the citizens met and passed
~ resolution to buy the machine and
own it the mselves. Besides their dues
tach paid certain amount OF money
and Mayor Chase ana M. Welsh started
in to learn where the best machine
was to be found After examining
many others they went to Geneva, N.
Y, and saw what struck their fancy
at the Silsby Manufacturing Com
plny's Wor rks. 1t was all entirely new
departure from the ordinary engines.
rotary, and when the machine was
tested in their presence, its pumping
power, etc, they marvelled at it,
The engine was ordered and when fin
ished a certain amount was paid by
the members of the new company and
notes given for the remainder. The
meetings were held in what was called
Protection Hall and the engine also,
named "Protction Engine" was kept
there. The hall is still called by that
uame.
Then came the fight for the organ
ization of the fire company and it was
brought mp in the council chamber
and an ordinance was passed under
which they were empowered to pur
chase the machine, but not until its
ability to throw water was fully de-
monstrated. There were three votes
for it by Councilmen Gordon. Green
and Martin. Those against it we're
J. Scully, Ward Perrine and P. Gam
pion. The Mayor having the decid-
lug vote the ordinance was passed.
Great fires were made with boxes up
by q pond of water called the Johns
town DAM The borough took the
machine, assuming all liabilities and
it became borough property. About
that time the ground had been pur
chased for new engine house. That
was finished and the Mayor the pur-
chased chemical engine callsd the
Independent ana Enterprise Hook and
Ladder truck for all of which q fire
department was organized and COM
