SOME BAD STATE PRINTING.

Careless compilation or proof reading in the printing of the Stat reprts is
by no means uncommon. The State comptrouers report OF thu assessed valu-
ations credits Newark with a total of s3S363oo9 of personal estate, together
with s29274N2 deductions Tor debt although the toal let real and personal
valuation gven is s2s57so793. The pamphlet report Of the State Board of
Equalization makes the personally of Newark s43753487 and he deductions for
debt s2s3Z7N. A resolution introduced in the Assembly by MI. Bauvet calls
attention to tn comptroners report bhunder and wrongly credits the State Board
of Equalization with another blunder in the ame item. The printed report is
correct. Mr. Bauvelts resolution might have called attention to IN defective

ALMSHOUSE FIRE ALARM SOUNDED
Blaze However, in the House of Michael Clifford and was Quickly Put Out-Damage will Not be Large Fire Caused by Overheated Pipe.

The alarm sent in from box F. the private fire alarm box at the aims house, caused much excitement in the fire department and to others who rec ognized the call on Friday afternoon. The alarm was sounded at 5.25 o'clock, but instead of being for fire at the almshouse it was for a fire in the house owned by Michael Clifford at No. 297 Asylum street The department made the long run quickly. and the fire was soon out. the recall being sound ed in about twenty minutes. The fire was caused by an overheated stovepipe in a basement kitchen, which went through a partion into a back room. The pipe set fire to coat which was hanging there and as it fell down quite fire was started. It was put out, however without much damage, although it was kindling rapidly. The loss will not be large.
 Chemical companies No. and No. 3, Engine company No. l, with tender. and Truck company No. l, all respond ed to the alarm, as the box is sup posed to be struck only for fire at the almshouse. This caused the heavy apparatus to be drawn over hard

It was due to the excitement of the occasion that box F was used, as the person sending in the alarm had to go to the almshouse and get the key to the box, which run was about the same as that to box No. 321, corner of Starr and Asylum streets, which IS the one to be used for that district. calling. as it does only the light apparatus and not the engine and big truck, which are not needed Chief Stanton, in speaking of the matter, stated that he believed the thing was done in an excited mo- ment. and that it was not intended to convey the idea that the almshouse was afire. However, No. IT is a private box and should only be sound- ed for fire at the almshouse. Many hustled to the almshouse and called 1t by telephone to learn of the fire, that of March, 1876, when so many lives were lost. being vividly remem- bered by many.
