Gene Reardon, Jersey City 'News"
Office boy was passing the home of
Charles Henderson, No. 1856 Second
street, Sunday night, when he saw smoke
issuing from the second story windows.
He stood and watched for approaching
fire apparatus Judging from the in
creasing volume of smoke he knew the
fire was gaining headway. He saw no
signs of life about the house. He thought
an alarm had been sent in, but saw no
response. Believing that the occupants
OF the building were asleep and that their
lives were in danger and at least valu-
able property was burning he ran across
the street and pulled an alarm. He is
one of that interesting sort of kid that
gets interested in a fire box on tele-
graph pole and he had studied out how
to send in an alarm. In few moments
fhe apparatus came dashing upon the
scene. Gene watched the fremen put
up ladders and smash the windows.
A few moments later he saw Fireman
Jennings and Pat. Sullivan, of No. 2
Truck, emerge, each carrying a baby in
his arms.
While the fremen deserve an immense
amount of credit for the double rescue,
the real credit is due the boy. Gene

back and cropping through darkness and

caused by lighted gas jet coming into

before the firemen had the flames under
control.

IN ADDITION TO THE UTILITY

AMENDS HIS MAXIMUM TAX
BILL AND COLBY SEEKS TO RE-
PEAL IT.
Especial to ..The Jersey city News" =

Special to "The Jersey City News.")
TRENTON, Jan. Is. 1905.--That the
State House ring is determined not to at
low Senator Colby to receive all the
credit for introducing measures which are
of paramount Importance and which are
being agitated by the people throughout
che State was amply demonstrated dur
ing the Senate session last night, when
Senator HHlery, leader of the admins
tration forces, introduced limited fran
chise bill, thus taking away from Sena-
tor Colby one of the issues which had
practically earned for him his election as
Senator for Essex.
The Hillery bill was the first offered
and was labelled Senate No. l. 1t pro-
vides that petitions for municipal fran
chises shall be presented to the governing
board of any city at one meeting and
then laid over to a subsequent meeting,
the term for which such franchises are
to run shah not exceed twenty years, un-
less otherwise decided by the voters of
the municipality at a special election for
that purpose 1t was referred TO the Com
mittee on Municipal Corporations. AS it
was drafted in accordance with the views
expressed by the Governor in his message
on the franchise question it will have the
administration support and will unques-
tionably become law.
Thus one of Senator Colby's big aerial
bombs was taken away from him by a
man who was fighting the adlministra-
tion's battle and exploded before he had
an opportunity to apply the match to it.
Not to be outdone by his adversary, how
ever, the Essex Senator introduced his
limited franchise bill later, with as much
good grace as il similar measure had
not been presented The Colby bill pro-
vides that the term limiting public util-
ity franchises shall be 25 years: provid-
ed, however, that in any city other than
the first and second class such grant may
be extended to not exceed 35 years. if
so approved by the voters.
Senator Hillery stole another marcn
on the Essex Senator. Suspecting that
Colby intended to offer repeater to the
famous bill which bears his name, Mr..
Hillery jumped into the arena ahead of
him and presented supplement to his
bill. 1t provides for an amendment to
the Hillery Act of 1905 by providing for
the election. upon referendum to be held
upon days of primaries and not on gen
eral election days This amendment was
offered in accordance with the recon-
mendation made by Governor Stokes in
his message.
Mr. Hillery followed this amendment,
up with another regulating the procedure
for elections held for the purpose of sub
mitting the Hillery tax act to the voters.
When it came Senator Colbys turn he
quietly offered bill which if it becomes
a law will repeal the HiHery Act.
