.FIREMEN HAVE. A
BUSY 'WEEK-E END
Grass AblazG Threatens Many
Houses and OutbuiIdings

Fires in the dried grass and under
growth. We're many on Saturday and
Sunday and the firemen had a busy
time of it answering the appeals for
aid.
! Saturday noon the gardeners on the
grounds at st. Elizabeths college
tried to burn off the dead grass on
the lawns. But the fire got away
from them and threatened the college
buildings. Chief Engineer Frederick
A. Trowbridge was appealed to and
he sent the automobile chemical en-
gine to the scene. The firemen had
little to do, however, the danger be-
ing over when they arrived.
Returning from the Convent the
gearing on the automobile chemical
was stripped and the apparatus
was put out Of commission over sun
day All calls over the telephone
were, on order OF Chief Trowbridge,
transferred 10 No. i75, Resolute

Saturday afternoon Mrs. Charles W.
Armour called up the truck company
to say. that grass fire bftween the
Armour home and that of o c. Bill
ings on Normandy Heights threatened
their houses Driver William Ridge
called up Chief Trowbridge for ia
instructions, as the fire was outside
the city limits. Understanding Driver
Ridge to say Melons" and not
Billings" the chief ordered him to
take the red wagon. With Foreman
p. Harold Payie and Chairman of the
Mre Committee Bart w Clifford. he
made the run in good time but on ar
rival found that a little vigorous eff
fort on the part of men on the place
had been sufficient to cope with the
blaze
Sunday afternoon w. P. jerks caned
UP to ask for aid as a grass fire was
setting afire fine lot of cedar trees
on his place Not caring to send the
truck team away for an hour or two,
thus leaving the town without the
protection of its hook and ladder,
Chief Trowbridge arranged for Mr.
jerks to send up an automobile His
machine and that of former Chief
Wilbur f. Day, jr., carried sixteen
men and eight fire extinguishers to
Mr. jerks place on Mt. Kemble av-
enue. The firemen worked for two
hours, finally getting the best of the
4 blaze.
After they had finished their work
Mr.. jerks set out a fine repast for
the men and then handed them a
twenty dollar bill which netted each
man $1.25 for his work
The same afternoon residents of
Budd street were compelled to secure
the services of the red wagon and
the Resolute boys as the burning
grass was in close proximity to their
homes. The firemen had little
trouble here in coping with the
! flames
The same afternoon the hill back
of the New Jersey & Pennsylvania
railroad station at Watnong was
burned over and also a section on
Mendham road.

fighting the grass fires some smoker
