between Jim Smith and Dory Strong

LEHIGH VALLEY BUILDING
GOTTA STATIONS

The Lehigh Valley railroad has
under construction three stations of
terra Gotta. They are at MeshOppen,
Fullerton and Cementon. 1t is prob
able that stations of the same ma
atrial will be put up at Trumans-
burg and LehightOn.
When the buildings are finished
the terra Gotta does not show. 1t is
in the form of hollow blocks which
are covered by plaster on the inside
and stucco on the outside. They
have undergone severe fire tests and
are absolutely f%ireproof. In addi-
ton, the dead air" spaces make the
blocks nOn-conductOrs of heat, SO
that the stations are warmer in win
ter and cooler in summer than if
they were of frame or brick.
The Lehigh Valley will have about
ten terra Gotta stations when those
now under way are completed. 9th

used this material are Cortland, In

ELECTRICIAN
Jay B. FRANKIE Takes Up His
New Duties.

Jay B. FRANKIE, the recently APP
pointed city electrician, started work
today. He went over the police call
and fire alarm systems this morning
with District Superintendent William
Chamberlain of the Public Service
Light and Power Company. 1t is h
intention of the electrician to see
that the systems are in first class or
der before anything else is done. lie
will familiarize himself with the
systems in this city and attend to all
the repair work that must be done.
According to the ordinance max
ing and regulating the duties OF n
new official he will be required to de-
vote his entire time to the work. He
must keep the police call n fire
alarm systems in perfect order at all
times and perform any other duties
that may come up from time to time
such that the electrician should do.
Another requirement is that he
shall act as inspector of electrical
work done in this city when request
ed by the building inspector, and any
other duties that may be imposed
upon him by the Board of Aldermen.
Mr.. FRANKIE leaves a good position
at the Atlantic Terra Gotta plant to
take this office. He has also worked
with the Raritan Copper works, N.
Y. and N. ]. Telephone Company,
Hudson and Middlesex Company,
Manalapan Electric Light Company
and several other large concerns.
Mr.. FRANKIE, after going over the
lines this morning, stated that they
were In fairly good condition with
the exception of the fire whistle at
the Atlantic Terra Gotta and a por-
ton of wiring in the police call sys-
tenn The repair work will begin as
soon as possible.
The whistle at the Atlantic Terra
Gotta has been in bad order for some
time and has not been repaired on
account of the dangerous condition
of the scaffolding around it. This
will be attended to at once and the
whistle fixed.
In the police call lines a short
length of m wire was used
where lead covered wire should have
been placed. This will be remedied.
The electrician will make a report
of his findings to the committee on
fire and police matters tonight.

him by force, he held out for sixty
