Action Taken by Shade Tree
Commission In Special
Session Yesterday.
START WORK AT ONCE
When .S100 Fund Is Exhaust
ed Will Ask City Council
for More.
WILL AID WHITE WAY
Members Declare That Trees
Are Only Distractions on
Business Streets.
WILL AID "WHlTE Way

Deciding that shade trees have no
place on business thoroughfares, the
Shade Treee Commission in special ses-
sion yesterday afternoon, passed mo-
tion to remove all shade trees on Smith
street from its easterly end to the Cen
tral railroad tracks and on State street
from Smith to the Lehigh Valley rail.
road bridges. The work will be started
at once on Smith street and will be
extended as far as the present amount
of appropriation will extend. When that
amount, which is about 800, has been
used requests will be made to the
Board of Aldermen for further funds
to complete the work.
While the motion provides for the re-
moval of trees on State street north
ward to the Lehigh Valley bridges, II
is likely that the order will only be
carried out as far as Washington street
as north of that point there are many
residences and few business places and
then it is proposed to run the "wlrite
way only as far as Washington street
Altogether there are not many trees on
Stats street aud therefore particular
attention will be paid to Smith street
where merchants have been clamorine
for months past to remove. the trees.
john G. Donehue, one of the com
missioners. stated this morning that the
work would be started as soon as the
weather permits. 1t will be rushed Il
completion, so as to give Merchants al
opportunity to proceed with thei
"white way" propositions.
The movement for the removal of tn,
shade trees on business thoroughfare
of the city was first started by mer
chants on Smith street, from Stat
westward to the Central railroad tracks
A petition was made and literally sign
ed and presented to the Council. 1t wa
referred to the Shade Tree Commission
which has held the matter in abeyanet
for the past few months. Now tina
most of tbs leaves have fallen fror
trees it has been adjudged good tim
to remove them. The reasons given b,
the Commission are that trees have III
place in business streets as they ar
an obstruction to wires and lights.

FIRE IN HOME
OF ALDERMAN
[. c. DALTON

Through the awakening Of Miss
Marion Dalton, the fifteen-year-old
daughter of Alderman l.. c. Dalton,
serious fire was averted in their
home at 20S Washington street,
about o'clock this morning. Sud
denly awakening she discovered that
her room was filled with smoke and
Immediately aroused her mother. To-
gether they made an investigation
and found a small blaze in the
dining room on the first floor. With
the aid of several pals of water they
managed to extinguish the fire, be-
fore it got beyond control.
The fire is supposed to have been
started by pet dog. An overcoat
had been hung over chair in front
of the fire to dry and it is believed
that the dog knocked the chair over
causing the coat to fall on top OF
the stove. The damage was slight,
nothing outside of the chair and the
overcoat being burned.

BOATS BREAK
MO0RINGS IN
HEAVY STORM

Many small boats and launches
were driven ashore in this vicinity
during the heavy gale that swept up
the coast last night. With the wind
blowing at the rate of sixty miles an
hour most of the time, shipping was
greatly hampered.
A Pennsylvania railroad tug, with
a long string Of barges, bound from
South Amboy to New York, had to
tie up at the Lehigh Valley docks in
this city during the night and was
still there at 8 o'clock this morning
waiting for the wind to slacken.
Several Of the Bee line barges an
chored in the Sound off this city, be-
gan to shift and at times it looked
as If they would go ashore. Several
boats broke loose from their moor
ings on the Tottenville shore and
drifted over here.
Enoch Corson's launch Mabel was
found between two slips In South
Amboy in a place just room enough
for the boat to get in and 500 feet
from the end of the slip. Mr.. Cor
son, who went out in search of the
launch on the tug Fairmont, Of the
Smith Towing Company, brought his
boat back under its own power.
The launch Roxy, owned by B. w.
Rothschild, of Tottenville, pulled the
stake up to which 1t was tied and
fouled a chain Of Bee line barge,
off the Raritan Yacht Club. A gov
ernment survey boat lying off this
city. released the launch from the
barge chain and men on the boat
made a line fast and held the stern
of their craft. The tug Fairmont
brought the Roxy back to Totem
vile.
A boat belonging to George
Moore, of Tottenville, also broke
from its moorings and several boats
from the Bentley Yacht Club feet
had their anchors dragged.
In all parts OF the city limbs were
blown from trees and telephone
pole was reported blown down in
front of 100 Jefferson street.
The tide in some places was over
top of small docks along both this
and the Staten Island shores
