ARM MANCLED
BY MACHINERY
Engine 0ilsr at A S. & r.
Plant Has Member Amputa-
ted Following Accident.
PERFORMED AT HOSPITAL
Narrow Escape from Being
Drawn Under Whirling Cogs
..LikeIy to Recover.

The right arm of Louis Polaanoski,
OF Charles street, was amputated by
Or. William e. Ramsay and DR.. NJ.
5. Meinzer at the city hospital last
night, following the member being
mangled in a stationary engine at the
American Smelling and Refining
Company's plant about O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. This morning the
man is convaiescing from the opera
ton.
Polzanoski, who was an oiler at
the plant, was lubricating an engine
when his foot slipped as he tried to
Oil the inner parts of the machine.
His right arm slipped too far inward
and was ground by the wheels OF the
engine into horribly mangled con-
dition, the flesh being torn away
from a large area of his aram and
the bones being crushed Just below
the elbow. His cries attracted the
attention OF the engineer, who stop
ped the engine and with assistance
extricated the man. DR.. Ramsay was
called. and seeing the seriousness Of
the injury, he. had the employe re-
moved to the city hospital where in
consultation with DR.. Meinzer the
amputation OF the member imme-
diately was decided upon as the best
course.
Polzanoski had been an oiler and
wiper of engines for several months
at the plant.

PLAN FAVORED
BY POLITICIAN
Thomas ]. Smith Of 1st Ward
for Branch Court

Thomas j. Smith, president of the
First Ward Democratic Club, be-
lieves that the location here OF d
branch county court house would
mean the saving of an inestimable
amount OF time, trouble and expense
to the citizens of this part of the
county as whole, and that ii is a
move, unbiased by political in1u-
ences, which appeals to practically
every property owner in this section
OF Middlesex. Though many per-
sons may say they will have no husi-
ness in the court and those that do
can take care of themselves, nearly
everyone at some time or other is
implicated or connected with some
litigation that takes him within the
county court" he said. He thought
that those people then would appre-
ciate the convenience of the court
located at this place, though they
may not be enthusiastic now.
"a handsome building would GER
tainly materially beautify the city,"
said Mr.. Smith when questioned on
the subject. Il think" he continued.
that a branch court house building
located near the postoffice would pre-
sent fine spectacle together with
the custom house, the public library
and the new Y. M. c. A. which will
be erected shortly" Mr.. Smith be-
lieves site near the custom house
is a location that could be well Sc
lected. He did not favor the idea of
locating it on the south west corner
of New Brunswick avenue and Fay
ette street.
The only objection to the project
which the clubs president had was
that it might be too expensive to the
county at this time to make the
necessary appropriation for the erec-
ton of the building. But he thought
this would not tbwart the idea OF
holding court here at regular periods
because the aldermen have stated
their Willingness for the court to use
the council chamber of city hall for
its sessions. Under such circum-
stances he thought that no excuse
could be made as to the project in
volving too much expense. He saw
no reason for additional expenses as
he pointed out that the same judge,
clerk and attendants could be util-
lied in the court sessions here on
alternate days from those that they
are needed in New Brunswick.
"I believe there is hardly voter
in the First Ward that does not ap-
prove of this project, and l believe
that any move by the Board of Free
holders to eliminate the plan would
be appreciated by the citizens of the
ward In which / live" he said.

GREAT CARE USED BY
BOARD Of HEALTH To
GET FOOD INSPECTOR
List Of Applicants Increase But Ap-
pOlniment Will Not be Made Until
Board is Satisfied
POSSIBILITY OF STATE. MAN

Although fully one hour of com
mittee session was devoted last night
by the Board of Health to the dis
cusslon of the applicants for the po-
sltioD of food inspector, no appoint
ment was made. 1t is expected that
an inspector will be chosen at the
next regular meeting of the board
April %. The members are deter
mined to make no mistake about
their choice this time and while
there are several applicants who
nag proven their knowledge, these
will only De given serious considera-
tions after information is procured
by the board regarding the character
of the applicants In question. 1t Is
the intention of the commissioners to
choose man who Is not lacking in
character as well as efficient in per-
forming the duties required OF a
food inspector.
1t is understood that from the
many applicants, four have been
chosen VINO have impressed the
board as the most favorable. An in
vestigation will be made of the hab-
its OF each of these four and then
an appointment is likely. However,
should none of these four prove suit
able, 1t is highly probable that a
state officer will be procured from
Trenton. In such case, there would
be on doubt as to the abilities of the
man, since every state officer is re-
quired to pass examinations and tests
as to his knowledge.
Before the committee session, the
board held their regular public meet
ing, An investigation was made of
charges made that one Mrs. Smith
