MEET
AT JAMESBURC
Receive Invitation TO Attend
Asbury Park Parade.

J%amesburg, April 11:-Tmportant
measures OF interest to the citizens at
large occupied the attention Of the
members of the local fire department
last night at the regular meeting of
the department. The roll call showed
twenty members present, President
Jacob Hausser occupied the chair.
The application OF Alexander Bal
lantyne for membership brought to
light the fact that Nathan Hillyer
who had removed to South Amboy
on March LIST, had not sent his resig-
nation to the department as per the
rules Of the department and follow
ing a spirited discussion of the case
President Hausser moved that the
name of Nathan Hillyer be dropped
from the rolls OF the company and
that Secretary Fred 8. Cole SO notify
him. This action vas necessary to
keep tho roster up to the required
number of active members. The
name Of Alexander ~Ballantyne was
placed before the members for mem
bership and was voted on fayOrably.
He was elected a member. The name
Of Richard Tagg was presented for
membership in the department and,
as there is no vacancy at the present
time, no action was taken on the APP
plication.
Secretary Cole reported that c. II.
Harlos, who had resigned from the
department on his removal from
town had refused to turn into the
department a coat belonging to the
department unless an apology was
forthcoming from the secretary. This
request from the secretary was
deemed out Of his line and was up
held by tho department. President
Hausser compromised the matter by
appointing John Monohan a com
mittee to see Mr.. Harlos and demand
the property Of the hremen.
c. NJ. Dawson, the committee on
bylaws ordered printed, reported
that the committee had made but
llttIep rogress. Treasurer Joseph
Van Pelt showed a'cash balance on
hand of $tO9.94. Chief Harry Lo-
kerson reported that arrangements
had been completed with a city firm
for the measurement of new mem
bers who required uniforms and that
the party would be in town this week.
"~ IS
John Monahan as q committee ap-
pointed to find out who usually paid
fremen who acted as guard at fires,
following a fire, reported that it was
customry for the owner of the prop
erty concerned to reimburse any
member who lost time from his en-
ployment for the protection of prop
erty burning. A bill for $3.50 for
cigars was ordered paid and a bill for
s3.1O was referred to the fire com
mittee in council. This bill was
contracted by the patrol committee
for supplies. The bylaws committee
was ordered to supply the newly
elected members with copies of same.
