PARK UNSAFE,
FIRE EXPERTS ASSERT

Asbury Park, Oct. 3.-That AS
bury Park, a city and a summer re-
sort, is ripe for a sweeping fire, is
the conclusion Of the engineers of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters
who have completed their ~investiga-
ton of that city.
They recommend a vastly improv-
ed and amplified water supply sys-
tenn, a reorganization of the fire de-
partment, a practically new fire
alarm system under properly quail
fed management, revised building
laws, complete code Of regulations
covering the manufacture, sale, stor-
age and transportation of explosives
and inflammables, that all overhead
wiring in the %congested sections be
placed under ground, and a system of
inspection for electrical work.

be accomplished on November 3 by
the election of the present Republic
can nominees. William c. wilson,,
candidate for alderman in the first
ward, and william Hilker, the third
ward aldermanic candidate, approved
of Mr.. Garretson's views, in reply to
the questions of the committee.
Other Candidates Talk.
Mr.. Grouse, running for alderman
in the fifth ward, explained his posi-
ton and the heavy Republican vote
of fifty polled in that district on Sep
TENDER "a. He does not believe the
Republican chances in the fifth can
be made more dim, than at present.
by the introduction of a third ticket.
Harold e. Pickersgill, candidate for
recorder, informed the committee
that he was running for office be-
cause he believed that he can fill it,
and can be elected. He referred to
his past performances, his desire for
the office, and exp-ained that ma
tional politics did not enter into the
question of his candidacy, from his
Standpoint of view. He said that he
has always voted for Theodore
Roosevelt at every opportunity.
All Voted For Roosevelt.
One of the peculiar features OF
the Republican ticket was brought to
light at last nights conference.
Every candidate, including Messrs.
Garretson, Grouse, Hilker, Wilson
and Pickersgill voted for Roosevelt
at the primaries in May. The COM
mittee will interview the remainder
of the Republican candidates-the
excise board nominees-and the
Democratic candidates this afternoon
and early evening, In time to pre-
pare a report for the special meet
ing Of the Roosevelt Club, which will
be held tonight in the clubs head
quarters In the Splitter building.
The four members of the Civic
Union, who constitute a big majority
of the Republican nominees for the
excise board, will be interviewed
very strenuously by the committee, 1t
is expected, as a number OF Progress
sives are opposed to the attitude of
silence adopted by the excise board
candidates.

LICENSE

III 1Ott F1LENliNt NE "S.-
In your editorial Monday you
mentioned the fact that there were
two license matters which we're in
teresting the people of this city, etc.
We would wish to come before the
people with a protest, also. There
is now coming before the board an
application for another saloon on
the corner of New Brunswick and
Amboy avenues, an entirely new
license, in a new place. In the
thirty homes or places of business
running one block each way from
proposed saloon there are sever
which did not sign against. the appli-
cation and two of these are saloon
keepers, who we're not asked to
sign, and one who is also looking for
a license himself, SO, narrowing 1t
down, practically, to four houses
which did not sign against and two
of these are controlled by the ones
making application for license. The
neighborhood wonders whether in
the face of all this opposition the
excise board will care about granting
such license. We hope they will
net, hoping also that this may be
given the same attention as the
other two, we remain one OF your
readers.

NEWSBOYS AND SALOONS.
.nTunp ruENrTNN NEWS.

l OR NE Wos
Accept my congratulations and APP
,roval of the editorial you had in
our paper Monday evening in refer
ace to the granting of a new license
or a saloon on Madison avenue. The
writer can confirm your statement
hat the property holders are opposed
o the saloon. Does not the person
having an option on the building
ave an interest in a few licensed
1laces In our city? We are ven told
hat he has assurance that before the
drst of January the new license will
Je granted. We, hope this is a fake
rumor.
Especially do we solicit your aid
Il helping the small newspoys. Many
are in danger of becoming victims
of some unlawful saloonkeeper. We
say some" On Monday evening we
saw a boy about fourteen years of
age come out of a Smith street sa-
loon with a few newspapers. We fol-
lowed him to another Smith street
saloon. We waited about five min
utes until he zane out of the place.
We followed him to another saloon
which he entered exactly at 8 o'clock.
We waited about ten minutes, and
got tired of waiting for the boy to
come out. We do not know how long
he stayed in the place. We do not
know what he die within the saloon.
I suppose sell newspapers. But
should any boy that age be even per-
mitted to enter a saloon? Is this
matter for our chief of police or
county prosecutor, or is 1t nobodies
business?
