So Fire Commissioners Must
Act If Riddle Is Ever
Solved.

Who saved Sophia Szybkowska?
Three hremen claim that honor.
Unfortunately. Sophia was rescued
only once and by only one man. So
there is evidently a superfuity of he
roes in the Newark fire department.
The fire commissioners do not
know, but are making ~valorous ef-
forts to find out.
Sophia doesn't know, although three
firemen called on her on three sue
cessive days to quiz her about thet
self-same single rescue.
And 1t may be shrewdly surmised
that at least two Of the modest he
roes do not know. although they ap-
parently made a strenuous effort IL
find out.
Sophia, who is IA a old. was
carried from the third floor of n
burning building at 230 Springfield
avenue late Saturday night.
The mystery of her rescue was for

Criticism of the cost of maintaining
the Essex County Isolation Hospital
at Soho was made today by Free
holder Christian Ahner. a member Of
the hospital committee. Mr.. Ahner
| declares that IL is the most expen-
sive public institution in the county.
The hospital committee met at the

cost s21 per week for eac patient a.
the hospital
On an average sixty persons are en-
ployed regardless of whether there are
ia half a dozen or fifty patients IN
the place, and this. combined with the
!, supplies and general running Of the
institution bring the average cost to
the amount mentioned.
Something may be done when the
Board of F~reeholders meets tomorrow
toward a thorough investigation into
the management of the hospital.
ut Is the most costly proposition
the county has to handle" said Free
holder Amer today. THE same
amount Of help must be employed all
the year around and there is a very
loose system.
The beef and other supplies are
not weighed when they are brought
in and no check is kept on the linens
AT Overlook the situation Is diff
ferent. There is a checking system
and Weighing system and the warden
knows Just what comes in and what
goes out. When the question came
UP yesterday about caring for, pa
tients from other counties, providing
they paid for maintenance, we were
figuring whether they would be will
ing to pay s21 a week or not. That
is what we figured it cost"
Other members of the board stated
that the question would come up al
the meeting and 1t may be that tbs
board of manager system may b.
dropped and a warden appointed.
No reference was made at the com
mittee meeting yesterday In regar,
