ALDERMEN PLAN
FOR
FIRE FIGHTERS
Two Pieces of Motor-DraWn
Fire Apparatus Will be Add
ed, is Decision of the Com
mittee on Fire.

There will shortly be two pieces OF
motor-drawn fire apparatus in this
city as the result of decision made
by the committee on fire of the Board
of Aldermen. Chairman John w.
Kelly. of that committee, has ascer-
tanned that it will be paying propo-
sition to dispose of the Mcclellan
steamer and three of the company s
horses when the new motor drawn
hose and engine apparatus arrives.
Receipts from the sales will be used
to purchase a motor-driyen chassis
for use of either Eagle Hose & Chem
ical Company or Washington Hose &
Chemical Company and for one or
more pulmotors.
More Motor Apparatus.
In the opinion of Mr., Kelly as well
as other members of the fire commit
tee it Is advisable to install more
motor driven fire apparatus. The de-
partment has none at present. Trac-
tors are held to be mbersome and
undesirable for other reasons The
first piece of motor apparatus will
be a combination hose and engine
machine, which will probably be

about $400 less a year than ma

stance of the saving that could bt
afforded by the new and speedier ap
paratus, Mr.. Kelly stated today thai
the Mcclellan apparatus had beer
used to any extent at but one fire
during the past two years. AS re
suit 1t cost the city approximate.
$4,000 to have them active at tha
fire, estimating that 1t costs from
$1,000 to $1,000 a year to keel

He proposes to purchase chassi:
for use of the Eagle or Washington
companies and mount their hos'
wagon body now in use on the motol
driven machine. This would entai
a saving of keeping two more horses

kUTCHER HELPS
POOR FAMILY; TO
MAKE CHARGES

Alderman John Kutcher, chairman
of the poor committee of the Board
of Aldermen, and erstwhile acting
mayor, saved family of five from
the cold wind of Saturday night. Mr..
kutcher, together with City Attorney
Andrew Wight are today preparing to
BRING a criminal charge against the
landlord in whose house the family
lived, who Mr.. Kuteher charges went
to his tenants home late Saturday
afternoon, and because the man was
unable to pay the full rental of $500
for the month of February, removed
three windows and a door from the
home at $40 Goodwin street, expos
ing the family to the raw elements
Mr.. Kutcher contends this was malic-
ious mischief, and that If the land
lord wanted the tenants removed he
had redress by gaining writ of dis
possession from the district court.
Mr. Kutcher intends to pursue the
tase to the bottom and give a lesson
to heartless landlords.
Il was SO excited after seeing
those poor people freezing that
couldn't eat my supper" the alder
man told a friend. The alderman has
found out that the mans name is
Sabo, and that he Is watchman at
the c. Pardee Works.
Burke Gets Complaint.
Chief of Police Burke received a
complaint of the pitiful condition of
the family and sent Roundsman Nor
ris to notify Mr.. Kutcher and inves-
tigate. The officer and alderman
went to the home. and the latter says
he found woman bending over the
bed of two infants and watching a
six months child in a cradle. He
says the wind was blowing through
the open windows, and that there
was no fire in the house. The al
derman and roundsman barricaded
the exposed door and windows, and
the former had coal and wood dis
patched to the home. He also sent
food to the place, which he yesterday
increased with -four and hams do
mated by County Clerk Bernard M.
Cannon and Thomas F. Burke. Mr.
Burke and Mr. Cannon had bought
the food stuffs at recent bazar and
given them to Mr. Kutcher for distri-
button
1t appears that the head of the
family is only working part time at
the Raritan Copper Works and was
unable to pay the landlord In full,
which resulted in the latter's alleged
spiteful actions.
