3 FIRES CAUSE:
$4,000 DAMAGE
OVER HOLIDAYS

Three fires over the week end and
holiday did an estimated damage of
$500 covered by insurance. The
most diastrous of them was the
one at the drying room of plant No.
|, of the Roessler and Hasslacher
Chemical Company at Sector and
Commerce streets, about 3 o'clock
this morning. 1t Is believed that the
wooden shelves ON which a chemical
compound was drying became over
heated. The damage done by the
fire and water is estimated at $4,000.
First Assistant Frank Tooker was in
charge and directed the fire laddies,
assisted by Second Assistant An
drew Anderson. Anthony Hanrattie
escaped serious injury in driving the
Lincoln Hose wagon to the fire, when
the wagon tipped nearly over and he
was thrown down between the horse
and wagon. He received a number
of bruises.

: MORE CLERKS,
BETTERSERV|CE
At POST OFFICE

Following an agitation by the
Board of Trade, the efforts of Con
gresham Thomas j. Scully and Post
master Pfeiffer have been successful
in securing the naming of three ad-
ditional permanent clerks in the local
postoffice and the establishment of
all night service. The result of this
improvement, coming so closely after
the addition Of five new carriers and
the establishment Of suh-postoffice
In Hall avenue, will be to give Perth
Amboy every facility for the quick
and efficient handling Of mails.
Mails may now be dispatched later
and can be handled in the postoftice
in a manner which will insure speedy
delivery.
Secretary Lynch, OF the Board of
Trade, wrote to the congressman
some time ago and the activities of
Representative Scully, combined
with those of the local postotfice
officials have succeeded In securing
the Improvement which is sure to
prove very beneficial.
The change will become effective
October 1st, and although the post
office officials could give no definite
information at present, it is likely
that the extra force of clerks will be
put on at that time and the addi-
tional service start at once.

David Cassidy, former vice presi-

speaking, a man seemingly, intoXi-

The Board.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
met last Tuesday night with no BUSH
ness Of great Importance except the
rate OF taxation.
One Of the committees reported the
expenditure Of about 81 800 d month
for the schools and that this for the
present term would exceed the revenue
about $3.50, while the new school had
been in operation only about four
months. 1t was therefore estimated
that the school tax would have to be
increased to meet the expenses Of the
city schools. A motion was offered to
take from the street and sidewalk tax
Is cents and add the amount TO the
school tax. This was objected to and
motion was finally passed to take 10
cents from the street and sidewalk tax
and add it to the school tax. BY doing
this the school tax, 80 cents, is increased
to 40 cents, while the street and side
walk tax, SIS cents, is reduced to 40
cents. The motion was adopted.

He was New York young man,
more or less in society. according to
the state of his pocketbook. and be
had invited two young ladies to dine
at fashionable restaurant. Before
the repast was brought in he called
the waiter aside and said confiden.
TALLY:
"When l order Bordeaux you must
bring us cheap, second class wine."
The waiter replied that he under
stood, and the inferior wine was &C.
cordingly served. When the bill was
brought in, however, the young man
looked considerably annoyed and tried
to attract the attention Of the waiter
by discharging series Of sly winks
and mods upon that funchonary.
Finding his efforts fruitless, he said.
Here waiter, there IS some mistake
In the wine item"
The waiter courteously denied the
charge. stating that Bordeaux had been
charged for, as ordered.
The ladies at once confirmed this
statement and the economical young
man had nothing to do but pay up
