F|REMEN BALK AT
OFFER OF PEACE
Belleville Company Divided on
Recognizing Council as
Official Body.

Without formal recognition of the
Belleville Town Council as having
control Of the fire department of that
town, Eastwood Hose and Truck
Company No. 2 last night complied
with a request from the fire commit
tee of the council and forwarded the
names of the compans' members.
The company took no action on the
councils request that Christian Rein
hardt be recognized as fire chief on
the ground that he had not yet ac-
cepted the appointment.
In the first letter that was read the
Town Council pointed out that in ac-
cerdance with the general act of 1895
affecting the government of towns the
council had adopted an ordinance
providing for the regulation of the
fire department. The company was
asked to send in a certified list of
the active members that they may
receive the annual fee of s12. This
was the cause of long debate.
As to whether the fact of fulfilling
the request would be construed as a
recognition of the fire committee the
members were divided.
Maurice NJ. CahIll. an exempt fire.
man and one of the oldest active
members of the Eastwood company,
was under the impression that it was
not recognition.
However" he said, even though
it should be construed as a recogni-
ticn, for the benefits that would come
to the company and for the rrotec-
tion of our younger members who are
not exempt, l would advise recogniz-
ing the new board. The fact that the
fire department has not been given a
square deal is To reason why we
should not take all precautions to
protect our own company"
Mr.. Cahilrs remarks were upheld
by Chief James K. Provett. Chief
Provett is the Oldest active member
in the company. 1t was over his
head that the fire committee ap-
pointed Reinhardt as chief.
PERSONALLY, I will never uphold the
action of the Town Council" he said,
Aoi tIe oihiPiS iS19oh eii'L9 eHcs
have never given any reason why |
should. Because l take this stand,
however / do not wish any other
member 10 take it. have advised
The new chief TO accent TIE appoint
ment. assuring him there would be
no trouble between us personally.
"Hov ever. 5iiat communication
does not request you TO officially rec
ognize the fire committee Of the Town
Council, and I would suggest that
the names be forwarded
Accordingly the motion was passed
and the secretary requested to for
ward the names to the Town Council.

PERFUMERY PRICES TO
RISE IF WAR KEEPS ON

Another horrid result of the war in
the Balkans looms large and directly
affects the gentler and less warlil1e
sex. For we are informed that the
price of perfumery is likely to soar
skyward If hostilities are maintained.
This is because the genuine altar of
roses, necessity in the more deli
cate perfumes. is practically a
monopoly product of Bulgaria, and is
marketed almost entirely through
Constantinople.
1t seems that the roses which sup
ply this world requisite can only be
grown in one land, while only one
other land has the cunning required
to extract their essence properly
And now these two nations. whose
united offices result in keeping the
gray old world sweet-scented. are at
each others throats. What shall
we do?

the inmates at the Hudson County
Penitentiary at Snake Hill tonight
when fire was discovered in the
storeroom northwest of the upper
tier of cells in the main building. So
serious did the blaze look at one time
that it was thought advisable to re-

of these were OF much use in putting
