and that Of the commission which
totals $3.50, is for the light furnished
at fire headquarters.
The executives attention was called
to the provision in the ordinance pro-
viding free lights by City Clerk Lin
coin E. Rowley, and investigation
revealed the buildings of the city. ex-
elusive of the city hall and police
station, did not use $700 worth of

be paid. The light is furnished to the

May Not Remain Under New
Fire Department Ordinance

Next Monday night the Montclair
Town Council will take action on
the ordinance introduced at its last
meeting by Councilman Thomas p.
McGlynn, chairman of the fire COM
mittee. providing for the reorganiza-
tion of the department. The new or
dinance provides for a full paid de-
partment, eliminating all of the call
men, Just what will become of the
assistant fire chiefs, when the ordi-
nance is adopted is a matter yet in
doubt.
Under the present arrangements
assistants Patrick j. Farrell and Ray
mond Kierstead are listed as call
men, and are paid salary of $3.50 a
year each. 1t is not likely that they
would care to hold their present posi-
tions, which, under the new ordi-
nance, would require all their time,
at such small salary. Chief Fred
ericll e. Williams receives $1,000 a
year.
The assistants are now appointed
by the council on the recommended
ton of the chief.

a band of volunteer rescuers. Under

procured from the headquarters of
Kearny Truck Company, short dis
lance away, and Shand climbed to
the roof
He executed some queer maneu-

the frightened feline. The animal

the ground the cat dashed at break
neck speed in the direction of the
West Hudson park. II never waited
to enjoy a feed of fresh meat Shand
