Il 'tal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. .Slo,0DU W
The efforts Of the commissioners
since 1910 to introduce motor driven
apparatus Is deserving OF the highest
commendation. The results achieved
are obvious, the advantages to the de-
partment beyond question.
The Hose situation.
One of the most serious problems
with which the commissioners have TO
contend is the matter of hose supply
At the present time there are 6S 300
feet of fire hose In service; at the end
of the year 1906 there were but 1926
feet. Since 1907 $3.50 feet of hose
has hesn purchased and placed IN
service to add to and replenish the
hose equipment of the department,
signal Boxes and Fire Alarm Telegraph.
During the aforementioned term
eighty-four fire-alarm boxes have
been added to the fire~alarm telegraph
system. and a great quantity of un=
derground lead cable, for the extern
Sion and better protection of the I'M
derground system has been pur-
chased
Cost of Maintenance.
In view of what has been accom-
plished in the fire department during
Mayor Haussling's incumbency in
office, Ii might be we'll to refer to the
maintenance of the department, as
set out in the above tab. e. The cost
of maintenance Is arrived at by de-
Quoting from the amount of moneys
at the disposal of the commissioners
for q given year the total expendi-
lures exclusive of the cost of the new
apparatus and hose 1t will be noted
that during the first year of the
Haussling administration II cost
slightly less to maintain the depart
ment than in 1905. In 1908, with two
additional companies requiring full
equipment of supplies, furniture and
new telegraph instruments, house re-
pairs, etc the cost was increased en- v
about $4,000. In 1909, with two
more companies than in 1908, and nee
essary accommodations for an in
creased number of men, including the
purchase of considerable furniture,
dormitory supplies etc, the cost was
increased 50 900 more than in 1908.
But in 1910 1t was reduced $4,000 less
| than in 1903.
In 1911 the department was required
TO pay accumulated insurance prem
| inms which had been held in abey-
ance, the amount being considerable:
also, the cost of apparatus repairs
was unusually large. These latter
were imperative to keep the appara-
tus in proper working condition. Re-
p~irs were expensiv.s. but had to be
made. To be clear. t1fe cost of main
| tainance fors 1911 was about 100000
more than = 1906, but there were

Yesterday, however, after the secret

those anxious to know what had been

WAS the Endorsement of the fight the
bosses have inaugurated against the

most important thing to do first, and,
consequently. the candidacy of

ship was approved with much enthu-

Going back q few years, to ls0o 10
better fix the time, when the Evening
News favored the denomination OF
Senator Everett Colby as against the
nomination of Thomas l.. Raymond,
whose cause as candidate for mayor

tor of the News might find something
that would refresh his memory and
furnish an object lesson on change
of hearts"
So that the News editor may not be
completely overcome by a lest we

the editorial columns of the Evening
News are here reproduced for his es-
pecial benefit and the information OF
the general reading public, day and
date being given:
Newark News, Thursday, July 80, 1908
Thomas L. Raymond, who has
been put in the field to oppose the
denomination of Senator Colby at the
coming primaries, ostensibly as the
representative of the Essex county
organization, is to make an address
at the Eleventh Ward Club.
There have been number of ques-
stions propounded to Mr.. Raymond by
Mr.. Colby and others. They need to
be answered If the Raymond cam
paign is to be honestly conducted
The matter of saloon regulation is
only one of them On that issue Mr.
Colby is standing four square, and 1t
will be cowardly for Mr.. Raymond to
refuse to state his position just as
fully as has his opponent

While the increase in the NUMBER
Of men, companies. new houses anu
apparatus may be accepted as cri-
terion of the great Improvement in
the condition of the department dur
ing the last seven years many other
!. deyeIopments of moment have &C.
currad
For instance. the establishment or
the bureau of combustibles and nre
risks. The immense value of the SER
vice rendered by this bureau is fully
attested by the reduction of fire haz-
ards in this city and the commenda-
lions accorded by the Insurance COM
NAMES. The records of the fire pre-
vention bureau speak for themselves.
In this respect Newark has been the
subject OF praise from municipalities
ail over the country.
Newark Alone In Glass A.
fCombining it's efficient fire-fighting
force with the sterling qualities OF its
fire prevention service has caused
Newark to be rated by insurance ex-
perts as the only Glass A city in the
State.
THEN there is the reserve stable con-
tanning an equine hospital and COM
piete pharmacy as well as one Of the
most modern operating rooms for
horses.
Also, the department possesses a
repair branch, for which the best type
OF machinery has been purchased and
installed Electrically driven lathes,
for doing engine work; oxy-acetylene
welding tools: rubber firing appli-
ances are some of the devices In
Guided 1t is now possible to make
the most difficult repairs to apparatus
which formerly had TO be taken out of
service and sent to the builders for an
Indefinite period when repairs were
necessary.
}Another important adjunct to the
fire department is the training school.
or fire college. Since this institution
has been in operation the effect upon
the morale % the FIRE department has
heen very noticeable. The fire COL

There are three or four statements
in the platform put forth by Thomas
L. Raymond ais candidate for the
Republican senatorial nomination that
lack directness. One of these rather
evasive planks is that in which he
deals with the subject of a public
seem as though Mr.. Raymond ought
to be more frank in dealing with this
subject than he has yet been.

Mr. Raymond was not so liberal.
He was. he said, opposed to local
option, which implies local prohibi-
ton, but was in favor of local regu-
lation. The disgracefu conditions
prevailing In Atlantic City and the
open defiance of law there he took to
indicate the necessity for permitting
each municipality to regulate the
hduor traffic in its own particular
district. The difference then between
Senator Colby and Mr.. Raymond on
the excise issue is that the former
fully trusts the people and the latter
doesn't. Senator Colby Is for local
option in a it's phases. Mr.. Ray
mond is for limited local option.

Mr.. Raymond is not the sole can
didate of his party for the position
now held for Mr.. Colby. He is simply
representing a faction and some pow
erf,l1 special interests.

has been started for a reforma.
tory for fallen women provided

go ibefoe the next Legislature
and urge an appropriation for
the establishment OF this institu-
ton. Charlotte has o Crittenden

they all are; the establishment OF
such a home by the State would
all a far larger need. Why should
we not have such an institution
sustained by the State? We have
our home for old soldiers ann fee

men who are driven from town to
town and offered neither shelter

reform-perhaps veryfew ofthem
it is the duty OF the State to
give them a chance and thus
clear it's own skirts. Besides, it
ought to be remembered that
these women OF the underworld
a e often sent there by brutes in
human form who enjoy the favor
OF so-called society, and WHO
sometimes dance the tango with
innocent girls. Their victims are
