the Perth Amboy police department
occurs today. He was appointed
chief Of the force on August /, 1892.
first entered the local police de-
partment December 10, 1887, and
next Christmas Will have served
t~wenty-fOur years on the force. Mr..
Burke has an interesting history,
both as a private citizen and as a
police official. He is noted for his
square methods and frmness to stick
to the right. He declares he has re-
p~eatedly been approached with
brides Of money, diamonds and the
like to refrain from bothering dis
orderly houses. He states he would
tolerate that or any other kind
Of lawlessness and would rather see
his right arm cut of than accept
money OF jewelry for hush purposes.
Born on Staten Island.
Chief Burke was born April Il,
1854, IN Egbertville, now known
more popularity as New Dorp, Staten
Island. He secured his first position
at the age of fifteen years with the
j. G. Crooke Tinfoil Company in
New York city. He worked for that
concern a number of years until
physicians advised him to procure an
outside job in the country. He &C
cordingly removed to this city May
/, 1878, and took a position on the
| coal wharves of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company. While there he

Starts Duty on Christmas Night.
On December 10, 1887, Mr.. Burke
was appointed to the local police
force as a patrolman and began
active duty Christmas night there
after. 1t was a cold night and the
impression he got of the position the
first night was such as almost caused
him to give it up. He remained firm
and stuck to his post, however, and
his reward came later. At the time
he was one Of three patrolman serv-

FRANK S. LANlBERTON OF BOISE BUYS
TAX TITLE AND GETS DEED

plexity of the situation of the water
right holders and users under the
system. 1t is argued by some that
this tax deed will shut out the peo-
pie who have decreed water rights
under the Long Tom Reservoir
which, If proved, will certainly work
a hardship upon many OF the people
who are even now laboring under
great difficulties to get along. On
the other hand it is thought that it
will in no way affect the water right
holders or users as various decisions
OF the Supreme Court holds that
nothing can deprive person of irri-
cation water who has water right
under system of this kind where
IL can be shown that such a user
has applied the water to land and
made it appurtenant thereto. As to
whether a tax title only conveys
the title of the system and not the
waters decreed Hereunder is a ques-
tion which will no doubt have to be
settled by the Courts. The fact re-
mains, however, that some one has
looked into the matter far enough to
be willing to risk the sum of $685.
81 and what the final outcome will be
remains to be seen.
