Irvington Extends Fire
Limits to Curb Building
of FIimsy Frame Houses

Fearing that the cheap building
driven from Newark by the extern
sion of the fire limits would overflow
into Irvington, the Town Council last
night passed on its first reading two
ordinances which establish fire limits
in the town centre and along the
main business thoroughfares of the
town.
One ordinance amends the building
code, making it impossible to erect
any frame or wooden structure
within the fire limits of the town. The
second ordinance defines the fire
limits.
The boundaries are: Springfield
avenue from the city line to Forty
third street; Clinton avenue from the
city line to the town centre, thence
on West Clinton avenue to Orange
avenue; Union avenue to Cottage
street; Washington avenue from
Clinton avenue to Springfield avenue
and New street from Springfield ave-
nue. to Park avenue; one hundred feet
on either side of said streets and
avenues.

tigate the work and report at the

tant Superintendent Henry Berg, of

the committee several months ago,
the estimated cost of the project
be about $4,000, but it would mean

lowing the chiefs recommendation
in his annual report for numerous
repairs. The engine houses were
found to be in poor shape. The

meeting of the Common Cecil to
cover these items viii reach $3.50, di-
vided as follows Garfield street

Washington street. S795.
This is the first year that the COM
mission has been brought face to face
with the responsibility OF caring for

Orange Brewery, where the whistle
has been located for eleven years,
had expressed his Willingness to al

mission will pay for its repair and
for future expenses connected with

among the residents of the Valley
section that the whistle would be in

plant.
Not knowing of the action of the
FIRE commissioners, members of the
water committee of the Common
Council who were in session at the /
same time, also discussed the advisa- /
bility of placing the whistle In the |

tested that the location was not cen /
trail enough. The decision favoring

however. was passed, with Council |
men Condron and Gallagher alone OPP |
