Nice-Chancellor Leaning, in Cam
den, took up on Monday an application
for the appointment of receiver for
the State Mutual Association, which
has its headquarters in Camden. The
action has been brought by Patrick
Fitzgerald, of Moorestown. 1t was
postponed for one week to afford an
opportunity for the law firm of Guild,
Lum & Tambyn, of Newark, to be-
come participants in the suit, for the
benefit of between thirty and fifty per-
sons residing in Newark, Madison,
Chatham and Summit, who are stock
holders in the association, and who
have been unable to obtain their
money. On behalf of the latter an
amended bill will be filed, and the de-
mand for the closing out of the busi-
ness of the concern under the direction
of the Court will be made even strong
er than it is in the original complaint.

ReInsraning Fire Alarm Apparatus

Reinstaling Fire Alarm Apparatus.
Town Electrician f. II. Pierson has
started the work of moving the stor-
age batteries of the fire alarm system
from the electric light station to the
annex of the truck house. a new
case has been made and the batteries
will be set up along the side wall of
the room. Connection will be made
with the pole lines through the back
of the building and temporary con-
nections are being run along the Park
to connect the circuits. The proper
place for the tower bell is right on
that corner and it is to be hoped that
ARRANGEMENTS to make this further
consolidation will soon be made. Then
there will never be any danger of fail
ure of the bell, because connections
will all be inside and within watch.
The town should also arrange to put
the wires in the conduits as soon as
possible, the ordinances granting per-
mission to the electric companies al
lowing this use by the town.

Amended Automobile Law .

Senator Frelinghuysen' 5 amendment
to the automobile law which bears his
name was passed by the House Friday
night, and now awaits the signature
of the Governor to become a law, the
Senate having approved the measure
some days ago. The change made in
the present law is a Slight but import
ant one. The number of paid inSpec-
tors of motor vehicles which the Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles is auth
orized to appoint, and to equip with
motor cycles, if he sees fit, is inceased
from seven to twenty-five. The max
imum salary remains unchanged So
per day.. Under the amendment, the
commissioner is also authorized to ap-
point any number up to twenty-five
inspectors TO serve without pay. Both
classes of inspectors have the power of
.arresting without warrant for infrac-
tions OF the motor vehicle law, and to
demand that any motorist driving a
car produce not only his own drivers
license, but the license for the car as
well, While on duty the paid inspec-
tors are expected TO devote their whole
time to enforcing the law.

Another sunday Morning FIRE.

AuOtner sunday morning f1fe.
The fire department was called
shortly before two O'Clock on Sunday
morning to the Hibler Building, where
the basement was found to be on fire.
The fire was Immediately under the
Feldman store, but he has no connec-
tion with the part underneath which
is occupied as a storage room by j K.
Boniface. All the doors and windows
opening into the cell II were found to
be closed and Mr.. Boniface thinks the
fire came from the electric light wires.
Little damage comparatively was done
TO the building, but Mr. Boniface
loses considerable stock, etc, stored
in the cellar and Mr.. Feldman also re-
ports a loss of 5000. During this fire
small fire was discovered in the hall
way of the Dodge Building behind the
swinging doors at the foot of the
stairs. 1t may have been spark
from an engine, or possibly some one
stepped inside to light a cigar The
mating and paper under it were
burned and step or so Scorched.

rhe Town ordinances.
EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE:

EDITOR OF THE CHRONlCLE.
Dear Sirt-
To the proposed codifying and
printing of the town ordinances the
objection has been raised, as recorded
in your issue of April 18th, that after
the desired change in the form of our
town government has been made the
whole cost would be thrown away.
This is evidently misunderstand-
ing. Whatever form of government
we may have our existing ordinances,
just as now with changes when re-
quired, will continue. If codified cop
les of them are issued in paper covers
only, when later the then charter, the
needed digest of statutes and decisions
that concern our town, and the ac-
companying indexes, have been pre-
pared, all can readily be bound to-
gether in complete, volume.
1t is a shame and disgrace that,
with but handful of exceptions, our
officials and citizens have no copy of
the everyday law it is their duty,
respectively, to enforce and obey
Manitestly, the prompt issue of an
edition Of the ordinances is one of the
urgent needs of our town.

EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE:
Dear Sir
1t was with great interest / read
in the last issue of The CHRONICLE
the article headed s'The Park Place
Fountain My surprise, however,
was still greater, as the plan Of the
basin has not as yet been shown to
anyone.
OF course Dame Rumor' had to
have something to say, but, ! assure
you there was no occasion for the
anxiety caused, nor for the objections
made.
The present basin is a little over
four feet in diameter, the new one
will be four and one half feet wide and
six and one half feet long. There is
to be stop-cock attached to the wa
ter supply, but it is so arranged that
the flow of water is the same as in the
present basin until it gets to a point
above the overflow, here it is checked,
but there is always running sJream.
In the winter this valve is discon-
nected if it is desired to keep the wa
ter running.

TWO Children burned to Death.

Two children of Robert Lea, a neph-
ew of William and the late John e..
Parker and who was born and raised
at Horse Hill, were burned to death
by the destruction of their home at
Newport, Maine, few days ago. The
mother was using Kerosene stove,
while the children aged three and
four were upstairs at play. The stove
exploded and despite The best efforts
Of the mother the flames shot up
stairs She was unable to get to the
children, but ran outside and called
TO them to break the window and
jump. They did not hear or under
stand and before help came were
killed. The house was entirely con-
sumed.
