MAYOR WANTS
STATION FOR
POLICE DEPT.
Sends Communication TO Board
of Aldermen with Many
Recommends a'iOns.
HIS FORMER MESSAGES
Calls Attention to the Poor fire.proof
Vault Containing City Records and Maps
and Urges the Immediate Purchase Of
Steam Fire Engines and Better Protec-
tIon Of Property.
HIS FORMER MESSAGES

Mayor Seaman sent the following
communication to the Board of Alder
nam last night:
"On January 5, 1908, addressed
your honorable body in the following
words:
" The water pressure in this city
at the present time is insufficient for
fire purposes. If the work calculated
to bring about an Improvement in this
particular is to be long delayed a
steam fire engine will become q nec-
essity.
I'VE have had an object lesson as to
that necessity. When the CITY of
Perth Amboy finds 1t necessary to re-
quest the aid of smaller neighboring
municipalities to control fire in two
story buildings IN its principal busi-
ness block, it's lack OF efficient fire
apparatus must BIZ APPARENT to you,
and urge your immediats action
to supply the DEFICIENCIES.
"The delay in delivering apparatus
already contracted for is something !
do not understand and y1Ess sscss.:zsss:iitt-
tee should insist on immediate deliv-
cry or cancel the contract and look
elsewhere for the needed material,
"Some years ago this city purchased
a site for a new police station at Fay
cite street and New Brunswick avenue.
~ suggest that You have plan for
police station, Jail, court loom and
house for steam fire engine p elarcd
for that site.
"Again ! quote, this time from my
address of January 8, 1909.
+" Our present court room, police
headquarters and Jail, / believe nm
suitable and inadequate. More room
is required for each and the space they
occupy is needed for other depart
ments of the city. Space is necessary
to preserve dignity and decorum about
a court and police headquarters
IT recommend for economical rea-
sons that the city surveyor and en-
gineer be placed on a salary, that
room in the oitv hall be provided for
him, and that the valuable maps and
date of his department.. be collected
and kept therein. Also that more
modern fire proof vault be constructed
at the city hall to contain the rapidly
increasing bulk of oitv records and
| files.
"Should the police department be
removed from the city hall, room
for such suggested changes will be
afforded. II necessary in carrying on
these suggestions the upper floor of
the city hall should be used.
Respectfully yours,
"CHARLES X. SEAMAN,
Mayor. =

THANKS FOR
ASSISTANCE.
Mayor Seaman Makes Public
Acknowledgment Of the Good
Work Of Visiting Firemen.
LOCAL BOYS PRAISED.

Mayor Seaman, last night, was called
upon to publicly express his thanks
to the firemen of Tottonville, South
Amboy, New Brunswick and this city
for their assistance and offers of aid
at Saturday nights fire. In part the
Mayor said:
'About three quarters of an hour aft
ler the fire broke out met q man from
Tottenville who said we could get a
steam fire engine from that place by
requesting it. / had been looking at
the fire from all sides and / immed-
lately sought the chief and asked him
il he agreed with me In calling for
| assistance. He said he would be glad
to have steamer from TottenvIlle,
I then went to the telephone, got in
communication with the Tottenville
chief and told him we had bad fire
here and would be glad if he could
send steamer. He said he would be
glad to attend to it and would send
over the company OIL the next boat
I said we would have horses at the
ferry to meet the engine.
''I went to the ferry myself and
while there / was met with a message
from New Brunswick asking il we
wanted help. learned afterward that
New brunswick had put four horses
to steamer and held it in readiness
for several hours ready to drive here
at moments notice.
"The Tottenville steamer did not
get over on the next boat and while
waited, 1 received a message from
South Amboy saying they had Q
steamer ready to send. I told them
we would be glad to have it.
sThose steamers from Tottenvillt
and South Amboy were of materia
aid to our own department in holding
that fire in the place where it origin
ated. I don't believe we could have
done any better il we had hat
! steamers in the first place. The. fire de
partment was on duty twelve hours
With the material they had, they die
J xcellent work. l have sent thanks tt
! those who offered us their aid, but
think in addition to that this govern
! ing board should recognize the assist
l ance of outside help and tho worl
> done by our own department. 1t ha
been tweny eight years since this cit
, has had to call upon outside help.
II was surprised that the littl
borough OF South Amboy should hav'
such an efficient machine. This mac
hine never had fair test until it &c
to Perth Amboy."
/ Before the meeting closed a motto
was passed to draw up resolutions I
be sent to those who assisted and th
local department. Action was ais
/. taken to reimburse the companie
who were put to any expense in col
: nection with the fire.

ALDERMEN TALK OF
STEAM FIRE ENGINES
At Meeting Last Night All Were anxious to Be II
Line for Purchasing One or More Steamers
Resolutions and Amendments 0ffered--SpeCia
Committee Appointed
IS SAID TO Be WITHOUT POWER TO ACT

An odor nj smoke seemed toprevade
the atmosphere ut last nights meeting
of the Board of Aldermen and one
could almost see the clouls pouring
from the front of the burning II Of
block AMI hear the cracking of burn
ing wood and the excited shou is OF
the firemen. The crowd also was not
lacking, for the Council Chamber was
filled, evidently in anticipation OF
what did materialize as the meeting
progressed.
The question of steam fire engines
was first brought up by Alderman
Runyon, chairman of the Fire Com
mittee, who said he thought that the
time had now come when they were
n necessity, as was shown by Saturday
nights conhagration. Mr.. Runyon
said he would offer, later in the even
ing, a resolution that the fire COM
mittee be authorized to advertise for
bids for one or two engines.
Alderman Stacey evidently thought
a motion has peen made for he offered
an amendment that committee OF
three be appointed to ascertain the
cost of the engines and also to look up
ways and means for raising tho money
to nay for them.
Mr.. Runyon replied that, in o con-
yersation with City Attorney HON.
mann few days ago. the latter had
said that the money could be raised
easily enough and that all the council
would have to do would be to adver-
tise for bids and everything would be
alright.
Alderman Smith said he did not un-
derstand that. "Last year. )" he sald'
1--WE had to get bill Through the
legislature. Now it seems we can
buy them anyway. There was n res
olution offered last year to buy the
steamers, but it was killed" "
Aldermn at large Pfeiffer said
"We are in an age of progress now
and we have become more progress
sive.'
Later Mr.. Runyon offered his res
olution, which was amended by Mr
Smiths motion, so as to take the mat
ter out of the hands of the fire com
mittee and place it in those OF spec
ial COMMITTEES. Th members ap
pointed to the latter committee arr
Aldermen Stacey, Schultz and Smith
Alderman Runyon moved that 8O'
feet of hose be purchased in accord
ance with the request of the Fir'
Chief. "Perhaps this special com
mittee you have just appointed woult
be good one to advertise for th'
bids,'' continued Mr.. Runyon. Thi
suggestion was taken up and the spec
ial committee was so, authorized. A
the only vote taken, however, was o.
Mr.. Smiths amendment, 1T is he'll
that The resolution, as amended, wa
not passed and therefore nothing cal
be done.
The standing fire committee wa
authorized 60 purchase three doze
black rubber coats and one whit
coat and such other supplies men
toned in the chiefs communicate
of three weeks ago, as the committe
may deem necessary.

JEWISH HOLIDAY.
Jewish New Year and Day of Atone
merit Are Drawing Near.

Saturday, September 10-onc week
from to-day will be Jewish New Year
an event Of Importance to the Hebrew
citizens of Greenwood.
Following closely after theJewish New
Year is the Day Of Atonemcnt, the most
sacred Of all Jewish holidays. 1t occurs
on Monday, September 10, and all ad.
hcrents to the Hebrew faith everywhere
will refrain from labor on that day. The
Jews of Greenwood will close their
places Of business and repair to their
homes and places Of worship to offer
earnest su]pplication for the blessings
Of the past year,
No people in the world are truer to
their religion than those Of the Hebrew
faith. hcfew Jewish families Of Green
wood arc not exceptions to this rule, be
it said to their credit.
Though most Of us arc of a different
faith, we shall not complain at the
slight Inconvenience that must necee-
sarily result from the closing Of all
places Of business operated by Jews on
September 10 and 10. On the contrary,
we shall hope that all Of them may
be drawn closer to our universal God
and that a new and happier love may
rest with His chosen people.

FIRST BALE SOLD
AT A GOOD PRICE.
Brought Fifteen Gents and a BlrreI of
Flour TO Boot.

Greenwood's first bale of new cotton
was received last Wednesday. 1t was
raised on the plantation of MIR. l.. ].
Henderson at Money, weighed 5ll
pounds, classed as strict-middling. and
was sold to the Hyman-Lewis Company
for fifteen cents. Mr.. Henderson also
received a barrel, of flour, the premium
offered by the Hyman-Lewis Company
for the first bale of new cotton.
The bale was afterward resold to
the cotton firm Of Gleason & Barnwell.
Greenwood buyers have begun the
new season with an energy and deter
mtnation that is characteristic Of the
city, and there is every reason to be
lieve that the present commercial year
will be the most successful in the his
tory of the place.
The fact that Greenwood received
10000 bales for the year ending on
Wednesday of this week was a great
surprise to the other towns and cities
of the State. Meridian is the only
other Mississippi market that received
so much cotton, and the crop that was
sold in Greenwood brought more money
than Meridian's for the simple reason
that Greenwood cotton is largely long
staple and brings a better price. Yicks-
burg, Iazoo City, Natchez, Greonville,
Clarksdalc and Brookhaven all fall way
below Greenwood in cotton receipts, as
they do in most everything else.
Greenwood is not only the largest,
but the best cotton market in the State.
The planters Of the Delta are well aware
of this fact, hence it will not be sur
prising if the receipts for the season
upon which we are Just entering should
exceed 100000 bales.
