Fly Back and Forth
When Council Issues a
Fish Shop Permit.

After a spirited discussion at the
meeting of Common Council last night,
in which both Republican and Demo-
cratic Aldermen asserted h a political
influence was used, a resolution giving
Isaac Stone permission to change a res
taurant in Centre Market into a fish
stand, was adopted by a vote of II to y.
Five of the eight Republicans and four
of the Democrats voted against the res
olution. which came from the market
committee.
The aldermen who opposed the reso-
luton declared that it was an outrage to
mt a fish stand among meat and butter
stands. instead of at the fish end OF the
market. and Chairman Mills. of the
market committee, Democrat, Aldermen
Congleton and f. c. Meyer
and others said powerful influence
was used to give Stone n permit
Alderman Mullen denied the charge EN-
phatically, said it is not stated In the
market ordinance where meat, nsn ana
other stands may be placed by the com
mittee, and he added:
Some people who think they are the
salt of the earth and that they nave d
in the market oppose the
granting of this permit eau they
are afraid it will hurt their business.
If there are any men who do not IKE
1t who are at present stand-holders, l
will say to them that they can take out
fixtures. and 1 will get men VINO
will pay $500 for their privileges.
Chairman Mills said: LAS to the ques-
ton of raising the rents of the stands
in question I would say that I have an
offer in my pocket now for the same
places for $12O a month. And the COM
wants to let them for $3.50"
The aldermen who voted against
the permit were Congleton,
Frey, Froelich, Hopper, E. c. Meyer,
Mills, Schmitt, Sinnott and Whitfield.

CAMP FORT, Sea Grit, Aug. s.
Camp Fort came to a close as q State
institution today with the departure of
the Fourth Regiment, NATIONAL Guard OF
New Jersey for home. This is the last
State regiment to spend Its allotted
week here this year, and after resting
for a few days Governor Fort and his
staff will depart for their homes and
the official office of the State executive
will be transferred to Trenton.
The closing ceremonies, excepting the
formal breaking of camp, were carried
on through q deluge of rain and a
pyrotechnical display of lightning ana
the booming of thunder yesterday art
ernoon. The parade ground and all the
roads leading to the camp were con-
verted into one big pond.
Shortly before the time for the last
review of the regiment it stopped RAIN
ing for a few minutes and the CLOUDS
broke away, but five minutes later the
rain again fell in torrents and Gov
ernor Fort, high hat and all, stayed OUT
In 1t end awarded the long service
medals and c~omplemented the men Oh
the regiment for their proficiency.
Twenty-year medals were given to
Colonel Joseph II. Brensinger, Lieu
tenant-C Colonel Henry II. Brinkerhoff,
Major Henry Lonman, jr., and Pay
master T. Bergen Gaddis. F~ffteen-year
medals were presented to Major John
j. Frederick, the regimental surgeon,
Captain John b. Apologize, OF Com
pany A, and First Lieutenant Theodore
e. Jones, of Company r.
An effort will be made next year to
increase the length of service at camp
of the regiments. This plan was
first suggested by Governor Fort dur
ing his talks on the men In the
company streets. n 1t Is understood
was prompted by the vast improve
ment the regiments have shown In
military tactics during their encamp-
ment this year. 1t is suggested that
the regiments spend ten days here In
stead of a week as at present. This
would lengthen the State encampment
to six weeks instead of four as at pres
emf, providing one regiment goes to
regular army maneuvers a year, as
at present.
The State camp here will soon be the
scene of regular army maneuvers.
Company f, Thirteenth Cavalry, will
make a practise march from Fort
Meyer, Va, to this camp. a distance
of $50 miles. and Company G., Twelfth
Infantry, will journey from Fort Jay,
