would be overcome and a way would
be pointed out along which progress
was possible. SO long ago as 1882
some colonies were started in the
southern. part of New Jersey, but,
either from a poor selection of the
men sent out or from injudicious
choice of land, progress has been
slow and only within the last few
years, under new auspices, has life
been injected into the colonies here.
The feeling that it was necessary to
relieve the overcrowded trades OF
clothing and cap making and at the
same time relieve the tenement dis
tricts of their teeming hordes, was
widespread. How to do it was a mat
ter which it has required years OF
painstaking labor and thousands Of
dollars to show.
The trustees of the Baron de Hirsch
fund early engaged in the solution of
the problem and during the thirteen
or fourteen years that it has been at
work it has cleared the way for steady
progress by showing not only what
was to be done, but what was not to
be done as well.
With the millions which Baron de
Hirsch had placed at their disposal it
would have been easy to waste much
in doing out money to all who seemed
to need 1t, but it was clearly decided
by the trustees of this fund that every
dollar expended must be spent in
helping the immigrants to help them
selves. The trustees of this fund now

these have been valuable, shown

avoidance of these errors. But this

Chief ]. Fillmore Tyson of the Louis

be increased in size. The department
is praised by the Louisville chief, but
he thinks its size should be increased

Chief Mcguire and I find that the
equipment, so far as it goes, is up to
date in every particular, but l am of
the opinion that you should have at
least three more engine companies and
one more truck company, as we'll as an
increase in your force" said Chief Ty-
son. "A city of your size, embracing
the great territory over which Mr.. Ma
guire and myself travelled can hardly
be properly protected with six engine
companies. We have an area of TWEEN
ty-one square miles in Louisville while

six and quarter square miles. We
have seventeen engines, six hook and
ladder trucks, and sixteen hose wag-
ons, with 225 men.
1T occurs to me that your river front
would be better protected if you would
secure the services of a fire boat, as 1t
is impossible for land forces to handle
a fire of any magnitude on the river

Il am very much impressed with the
manner in which the citizens of Sa-
vannah are working in the interests of
the home city. and if the Savannah
people continue in this good work there
is no doubt that Savannah will become
one of the greatest cities in the coun-
try. we take advantage of every OPP
portunity to advertise our city and in
the recent addition to your fire depart
ment you will have an excellent OPP
portunity to claim that Savannah car

MY friend Mr.. Lortz and 1 appre-
ciate very much the entertainment af-
forded us during our stay in Savan-
nah. Chief Mcguire, assisted by Fore
men Connolly and Brunson, left no
stone unturned to make our stay as
pleasant as possible, and all we ask is
that some official, or member of the
administration, will afford us an op-
portunity to reciprocate.
We leave for Knoxville in the in
terests of the international Associa-
ton of Fire Engineers, which will hold
Its convention in Chattanooga. Sept.
13 to is. We propose to make this
convention one of the best and most

have every reason TO believe we will
secure the largest gathering Of chiefs
from the smaller cities that has been
recorded in the history of the associa-
ton"
