EXTENSION OF THE FIRE
LIMITS IS RECOMMENDED
Would Extend 1t to City Line in
Certain Districts.

The extension of the fire limits to
include large section of the city
which has been built up with wooden
dwellings since the last extension
was made in 1902 was recommended
last night by superintendent OF
Buildings william P. O'Rourke to the
Common Council committee on con-
struction and alteration.
Mr.. ORourke said that in his opin-
ion the immediate extension was inn
oerative, especially in the western
and southwestern sections of the
city, and would extend the districts
nut Frelinghuysen, Washington,
Springfield, Bloomfield and Sixteenth
avenues to the city limits.
The committee voted to recommend
the appointment of William Fiveson,
of "a Hunterdon street, as building
inspector in charge of iron work, to
succeed A. III. McCully, whose resig-
nation takes effect March 1.

onne Meeting. II

BAYONNE, \. J.. Feb. S.-The New
Jersey Interstate Bridge and Tunnel
Commission held a public hearing AZ
the Bayonne High School last night
on the question Of the proposed bridge
between New York and New Jersey.
Engineer Henry W. Hodge and
J. V. Davies held opposite opin-
ions as to the more practical plan,
the former showing a preference for
a. bridge to span the river and the
other favofing a tunnel.
Judge Peter Stillwell, Of Bayenne,
advocated a bridge from Bergen Point
to Elizabethport, and also from Ber-
gen Point to Staten Island. George
P. clifford. superintendent OF the
Standard OIL Works. of Bavonne. fa-
vored building a tunnel between Ber~
gen Point and Elizabethporf for ths
use Of vehicles.

adopted at the special agricultural
census of 1915, much valuable expe-
rience will be secured, which will be
applicable to the solution of the prob
lem OF the taking of the decennial
census.
'Mail-carriers, whether in cities or
In rural districts. appear to be con-
spicuously well qualified to act as
census enumerators. They are Sc
lected without reference to political
considerations and as the result of
tests which guarantee fair degree
of education and ability Their pecu-
liar experience, however, adds i'm
mensely to their fitness for the work.
They are personally acquainted with
almost every family and individual
In the districts which they serve.
Such acquaintance would not only
result In saving the carrier much
time, but would enable him to secure
more complete and accurate informa-
ton. Again, the mail-carriers have
a permanent responsibility to the
government as their employer. and
| IL utilized for census work would feel
under obligation to do it to the best
of their ability, lest otherwise their
permanent position might be endan-
gered. 1t is uncomfortable, for exam
pie, that mail-oarriers acting as
enumerators would permit themselves
to become parties to a scheme of
elaborate padding of the census, such
as was attempted in a number Of the
cities and towns of the country at
the last census, or that they should
neglect their work to any such de-
gree as did some of the enumerators
in 1910
"It is believed by the postoffice de-
partment that mail carriers in the
rural districts could perform the work
of enumeration without interfering at
all seriously with the public con-
venience as regards the delivery of
mail. Doubtless the carriers would
have to work more than the ordinary
number of hours, and, in some cases,
perhaps generally. it would be neees-
sary for the regular rural carriers to
call upon their substitutes for more
or less assistance in the delivery Of
mail during the time of enumeration.
Even, however, If there should be
some little inconvenience to the pub
lie, it should be borne in mind that
the taking of a census is great ma
tional enterprise. in which every citi-
zen should be interested and for
which he should be, and in most cases
would be willing to sacrifice trif1e
OF his personal convenience.

XMAS TREES IN
NEWARK'S PARKS
They're Only Deception, but
They Relieve the Winters
Barren Touch.

TO see a crop Of several hundred
christmas trees spring into bloom
over night IN Military and Washing
ton parks was the experience of
thousands Of citizens of Newark lit
tie more than month ago. These
observers will now be treated to the
sight of seeing these same trees
Wnisked away agan, that is, II they
get up carly enough In the morning.
The trees are not planted at all.
Iney are simply sticking in the
ground. Having no roots, the trees
VIII cis and then Carl Banuwart
secretary to the Shade Tree Commits
sion, proposes to remove them.
The trees are frs Of the type COM
monty known as Christmas trees.
They represent part of Newark's sur.
plus from the last market. Many Of
them come from dealers in the Centre
Market, who. the day after Christ
mas were glad enough to get two
cents each for them; others come from
the freight yards, where merchants
abandon carloads. and still others
come from houses. after the Christ.
mas holidays have passed.
The idea Is Mr.. Bannwart's. He
believed that the city's parks would
be beautified during the cold months
by evergreens. Thus the fir trees
were collected after Christmas. Men
in the service of the Shade Tree Com
mission devoted day to getting the
trees together. Then they took them
to the parks and in few hours had
them planted" in an order pleasing
to the eye.
The collection and placing of the
trees costs about 800 a year. This
year none was placed in Lincoln
Park. The commissions efforts were
devoted to Washington and Military
parks, and Mr.. Bannwsrt is satisfied
his efforts were not in vain.
Il think the improvement in the
parks is wonderful" he declared to-
day. The winter robs the parks Of
their beauty, and. while the Christ
mas trees, of course, are not what you
might really call substitute for the
summer green, still they help to take
away the barren look. We improve
our parks for the winter months and
it only costs us $780, No, I do moi
know of any other city that follows
our example"
Mr.. Bannwart has been secretary OF
the Shade Tree Commission since
February, 1905, and through his
efforts Newark's parks and streets
have been greatly improved. He says
the Christmas trees will come out OF
the parks about March 80.

FIVE ALARMS KEEP
FIRE-FIGHTERS BUSY
Quick Work Keeps Loss Down
to a Minimum.

-Four fires and a false alarm kept
the firemen on the jump last night
Three Of the four blazes were caused
by oyerheated stoves and furnaces
Quick discovery in each case kept
the loss down to q minimum
A red-hot stove IN the junk shop OF
Charles Friedman, at 5 Beacon street,
called the firemen out at o'clock.
The damage was under 800. An over
heated smokestaek ignited the wood
work of a three-story factory at Is
II Nichols street about 10 O'Clock
About $500 damage was done.
Damage amounting to about $50
was caused by the short circuiting of
wires in an electric switch box at the
Hay Foundry and Iron Works in
Plum Point lane.
Two alarms were sounded at 8
o'clock. One was false The other
was in a storehouse at 1874 Eleventh
avenue, owned by George Harris.
Smoke from a stove which had not
been properly connected with the
chimney caused the second alarm.

ing not over fifteen days in the
cities and not over thirty days in
the rural districts, and at moderate
rates of pay. The persons who would
make most competent enumerators
are usually already employed and can
not give their time to the work. An
enumerator. once selected, knows
that at most the only penalty for un-
satisfactory work will be failure to
receive his comparatively small COM
pensation. and that in fact it is
scarcely likely that his incompetence
will be discovered until after he has
received his pay.
THE need for more competent
enumerators is thus obvious. After
careful consideration the census bu-
reau has reached the conclusion that
much better results can be obtained
by utilizing the services of the mail
carriers to do the larger part of the
census enumeration than by any
other feasible plan. The postmaster
general also has given consideration
to this plan and believes 1t would be
entirely feasibles at least in the case
of the rural districts, and that 1t
would not interfere materially with
the regular and prompt distribution
of the mails. There would be some
what greater difficulties involved in
utilizing the city mail-carriers than
the rural carriers. 1t is probable that
the former also could be advanta-
geously employed. but the precise
method by which the greatest advan-
- ~ ~tx "A

convenience to the public. must be a
matter of further investigation and
consideration. Meantime. If the plan
of using the rural mail-carriers is

SEEK CHANGE IN FARE
SYSTEM OF HUDSON TUBE

A committee Of five was appointed
by the Board Of Trade yesterday to
call on William McAdoo. head Of the
Hudson tunnel system and bring to
his attention alleged discrimination
against the city of Newark. The
matter was introduced for discussion
at the meeting of the Board Of Works
on Thursday last by Commissioners
Charles p. Giilen. who contended that
the road was discriminating against
this city, inasmuch as the fare on
the new fast line from the Park
place terminal to Summit avenue
Jersey City. was 10 cents. while over
the remaining part of the road, which
is longer, it is only cents. Mr.. Gil
len expressed the opinion that much
business that would come to this city
If the fare were at least equalized
is now going to New York.
The committee on intertrade af
fairs of the Board of Trade decided
to request the merchants of the city
to have their places of business deco
rated for the automobile show which
is to be held in the First Regiment
Armory from February Is to %.
