Chairman Dalton Of Fire

Matter Tonight.
AT COMMITTEE SESSION
Learns From Firenten That
Present Supply is made
quate-- Visited Fire Houses

Desiring that the best interests OF

imately 1000 feet OF new hose is
desired by the companies. He says
the companies must have an added
supply, but whether they will get the
full amount asked for In each case
Is not known.
Committee Session Tonight.
That question will probably be
threshed out in committee session..
Chairman Dalton agrees with officials
of companies that each house should
be in possession of complete change
of hose, SO that one set may dry
while the other is on the apparatus
ready fof use. Mr.. Dalton learned
from officials OF the Eagle Hose Il
Chemical Company. the Garfield En-
gtne Company and the washington
Hose & Chemical Company that each
of them need from 500 to 500 feet
OF hose in addition to what they
have.
Foreman Tell Needs.
The foreman of Lincoln Engine
Company said today his company
needed about 1900 feet and 1t was
stated at Mcclellan Engine Com
pany's headquarters that about 600
feet of new hose was needed. Com
plant was made at the latter place
that the hose carrying apparatus was
In rickety and very poor shape. 50
that only 400 feet OF hose could be
carried. Ftremen dar.s not ride Oh
the rear step. 1t Is sald.

FERRY ONLY MAKING
TRIPS FOR TRAINS

Because the ice In the sound has
become a hindranee to traffic on the
water, the ferry boat "Englewood, !"
which has taken the place of the
Perth Amboy" is only making trips
across the sound to connect with
trains at Tottenville on the Staten
Island Rapid Transit Railroad. Not
In years has the ice been so trou-
blesome.
1t was the heavy ice that caused
the Perth Amboy to break it's
shaft on Monday night and cause
considerable inconvenience to the
passengers using the ferry the next
day and most every day since. The
ice which floats back and forth with
the tide chokes both ferry slips,
causing a delay of the boat when
making a landing. The ferryboat
"Englewood" is old and takes con-
siderable longer to cross the sound
and make the slips Work on the
"Perth Amboy'' is being rushed so as
to get the boat back by next week.

without a license and for defrauding
people.
Say Stubbert Is Gone.
Stubbert cannot be found, It is
declared. He was released In the

mann, but some doubt that Mr.

him when he Is called to answer to
a charge. of practicing medicine

day night. He Is also to answer to
similar charge before a justice of

gether with a small X-ray machine
are amonk the belongings of Stubbert
and DR.. Ball that the chief took
from the suite Of rooms the former
occupied In the Packer house, and re-
moved. to his office at police head
quarters.
From the knowledge of contents
at many OF the letters 1t becomes
plain to the p1octe that Dr. Ball
was at the head of the alleged
swindling game. and that Stubbert
was but one of his representatives

from the letters also that as long
as patients kept coming with money

An amusing incident wherein 3
bridegroom apparently valued his
bride at 81 when 1t came to paying
for certificate, happened at the
marriage of q Cliffwood couple in
Recorder Henry w. Kehoe's office
yesterday. Miss Filomean Cogni-
arela was the bride who figured in
the deal and Libero Meali was the
modest bridegroom who set the price.
The story caused much laughter in
official circles.
Asbury Fountain, of Matawan, and
Hans Nielsen, of this city, two prom
inent men, were the official wit
nesses. The recorder tied the knot
and before Mr.. and Mrs. Meali put
on their outer garments to leave, the
bridegroom turned and asked:
"How much do owe you, Mr.. Re-
corder?"

mittee on streets and sewers, haa
discharged James s. Wight from fur

most be a shame to throw him over
at this time The acting mayor
said the letter from Mr.. Seaman to

discharge had been referred to q
committee of the whole at the last
council meeting and would probably
come up for discussion at tonight's Is
