MAYOR PULLS FIRE
BOARD OVER GOALS
Orange Executive Flags Com
missioner for lntoxica-
ton Incident.

Mayor Frank j. Murray, of Or
ange, had the members Of the Or
ange Fire Commission before him
last night for a reprimand, as a re-
suit of the story that one member.
who has not yet been named,
tumbled from his chair because of
lntoxication at recent meeting.
The mayor also wished to impress
upon the minds of the commission
that in making up appropriations
this year they must not allow the
sums for various obligations to go
over last years amounts.
The mayor received the four COM
missioners in his office. He prefaeed
his talk by declaring he had made an
investigation of the intoxication in
cident, and understood the circum-
stances that had become publicly
known. He said the occurrence was
of such Importance to the public and
OF such serious moment in it's effect
upon the administration of the fire
department that he regarded 1t as a
plain duty to take official cognizance
of the alleged episode.
IT have made thorough investiga-
ton. and there is no question in my
mind as 10 the real facts of the
situation" he said.
II am not going to call upon you
for any statement, and / feel that
SO far as / know, while the law gives
me no jurisdiction in the matter, |
feel | have right, by reason of my
office, to talk plainly to your board
and tell you what you may expect if
there should be repetition of such
an occurrence. 70 my mind the
matter is serious because it is pub
lie affair; because 1t detracts from
the dignity and respect due the
board, which is the constituted legal
authority over the fire department,
and because it is capable of under
mining the discipline of the depart
plent. If it be repeated | shall re-
gard it as my duty to exert the full
power, prestige and influence of my
office to stamp out such infractions.
THE public welfare also must be
considered. The department is COM
posed of good men, and nothing will
be tolerated by me that can possibly
prevent and which would have a de-
nioralizing effect upon the depart
ment."
In conclusion, Mayor Murray de-
clared it was not up to him to die
tate the department expenses, but he
said he felt called upon to pass upon
the budget ordinance. He warned the
officials that the city has limited
means for expenditures and he spoke
Of big obligations soon to be assumed
please make a special effort toward
economy and gauge your appropria-
tons with full thought of the limited
means at the city's disposal he fin
ished.

RESCUES PUSSY
FROM HIGH Perch
kearny Fireman Comes to Aid
of Cat on Pole Forty
eight Hours.

After taking forty-eight hours in
which to die six dolorous deaths on
the very top of thirty-foot pulley
pole, a big, sleek turquoise cat was
rescued today by a Kearny fire cap
tain.
The cat CHANGED to pass through
the back yard of Thomas Boog, "a
Devon terrace, Kearny. on Wednes-
day.
Boog's collie, Floe, took this to be
a bit feline impertinence and decided
to give pussy a lesson she would
never forget.
Pussy promptly started for the pull
ley pole and went up 1t rather quicker
than flash of lightning. At the top
she mewed her defiance ana catfish
contempt for the big dog barking
below.
Floe waited patiently for awhile
and then, since pussy seemed quite
content on her perilous perch, lost
interest
The neighborhood was just settling
down to Its first sleep when the cat
began to bemoan its situation. Be-
ginning with a long, pathetic wall,
she launched into varied repertoire
of blood-curdling cries.
Now, when cat is In dead earnest,
she can surpass anything in Wagner
or the latest auto siren for express
siveness.
No one in the neighborhood had any
more sleep that night Many of the
'nen, at such intervals when thew
were not explaining fuently what
they would like to do to the nocturnal
songstress, tried their hand at missile
throwing.
Shoes. potts. stove-lids and fiatirons
whizzed through the air toward the
Boog yard. The crash of kitchenware
against the pole and fences spoke of
the vicious strength by which they
were impelled.
Ignoring this commotion down be-
low, pussy, perfectly secure on her
lofty perch, continued to make night
hideous.
All yesterday the cat remained on
the pole, despite every effort to bring
her down. Last night she did the
best she could with her few remaining
lives to initiate her successful concert
of the night before.
The sleepless auditors today decided
to call out the fire department. II
might seem absurd to- have all the
volunteer firemen of the town drop
their work and go to the rescue of one
solitary cat. but then they hadn't lis
tened two nights to the hard way in
which pussy was taking her death.
Captain James Durkin, of Kearn,
Hose Company No. 2, volunteered tc
rescue the cat. This was a risky
undertaking, for, judged by the noist
she had made, the cat was in a thor
oughly vicious temper. Z.
Before climbing the 25-foot ladder
that was raised Captain Durkir
pulled on long rubber gloves to- pro.
tect his hands
Instead of lighting however, TIL,
cat promptly expressed her pleasur.
| by licking his glove. A burst of cheers
from the neighborhood greeted tho
rescue. Quite unconcern4d and ap.
parently not even very weak, the cal
climbed fence and disappeared
