Firemen,a Association

At Atlantic City, on Thursday, General
Bird Spencer, of Passaic, was triumphant
ly reelected president of the New Jersey
Firemen's Association following sharp
battle on the convention floor In which
anti-administration efforts were made to
put the control of 81. $50, 900 relief fund
in the hands of an official named by popu-
lar vote. A resolution to this effect was
voted down and the fund will remain
under the control of the executive COM
mittee of the association.
William s. Barbour, of Haledon, Pas
sale county, the Observation-Disclosures can
didate, withdrew after he had obtained z
out of 208 votes cast, and Spencer was
then named by reclamation for the 31st
consecutive term. Other officers elected
| were:
Treasurer, John L. Lane, of Summit;
Secretaries, William Exall, OF Newark; T.
Howell Johnson, of Bloomfield; Evan F.
Benners, of Moorestown; Auditor, John F.
Gibson, of Newark; Counsel, William Cot
ter, of Newark
The fight against Spencer followed a
compromise with paid firemen of Jersey
cities under which the receipts for the
per cent tax paid by insurance companies
is to be equally apportioned between the
paid and volunteer fre-fghters. Members
of the volunteers have maintained that as
the paid men are directly protected by
pensions in many cases, the volunteers
should have all the proceeds of the insur-
ance tax.
Reports for fiscal officials showed that
$107, 945 68 has been disbursed in the last
year for relief of iremen and their families
The Firemen's Home received so, 900; d.
rect relief of fremen and dependents cost
$40, 848 and $40, 597 was awarded to paid
department men for relief work. The in
come of the association for the year was
$218, 900, an increase of $26, 900 over any
previous year.
According to other reports there are ap-
proximately 10000 paid and volunteer fire
fighters in the state. 1t was urged tina
the state should provide better compen-
sation of the volunteers.

at the marvellous manner in which the
Orpheum company does things. Marion
