ed as voting no" on the confirmation
of H. c. Townsend's appointment as
clerk to the assessor, were the only
ripples to disturb Councils otherwise

Mr.. Gorgas said he discovered to-
day that he had been recorded as
having voted along with the others
in approving Mr.. Townsend's appoint
ment. He doesn't have a very clear
recollection of what occurred when
his name was called, he said; in fact,
he supposed he was talking to some-
one else at the time. Anyway. he con-
sidered the selection of Mr.. Townsend
as having been done in caucus for
political reasons and he therefore is
opposed to him. Then, too, he SAYS
he believes Horace a. Chayne is u
more competent man.
City Forester Mueller's request of
Mayor Meals for permission to order
some advertising printing paid for
from the general printing fund was
referred to Commissioner T.. u. Gross

was filed.
TO Attend Good Roads Congress
The $500 bond of Druggist Frank X.
Kitzmiller to furnish the city with
drugs until August /, 1916, was ap-
proved. Commissioner Lynch offered
ordinances authorizing him to pur-
chase another motor truck and an adj
ditional street sprinkler and sweeper
for his department. S. Micklowitz's S
request to lease a piece of city ground
adjoining his property at Paxton
street and the Pennsylvania Railroad

APPROVE ARMOR
PLATE PLANTS
[Continued From First Page.I

continued FROM f1rSt rage
o to to report favorably Senator
Tillman's bill to authorize the Secre-
tary of the Navy to provide either by
erection or purchase of an armor
plate factory or both, with capacity
of not less than 10000 tons of armor
a year. The bill would appropriate
and Smith of Michigan, Republicans,
voted against reporting the bill.
Chairman Tillman and Senators
Swanson, Bryan, Johnson, Maine;
Chiffon. Phelan and Pittman, Demo-
Gratis. an dClapp and PoindeXter, Re
publicans, voted for it.
"Stop the Robbers"
THE threat of the armor barons
to hold up the government will not
affect Congress- said Senator Till
man. I'VE were given to understand
that the armor manufacturers would
increase their price because govern
ment manufacture of armor plate
would force them to go out of that
business and they would charge this
enormous increase in order to provide
themselves with an amortization fund.
But ] guess we can find a way to stop
the robbers. In time of trouble we
could seize their plants and operate
them by right of eminent domain"
After brief consideration the COM
mittee ordered favorably reported the
bill authorizing expenditure of $780,
900 to equip Mare Island navy yard
for battleship construction and $780,
900 to enlarge facilities of the New
York navy yard and the bill to add
800 midshipmen to the entrance class
at Annapolis next July. These two
bills passed the House yesterday.
Senator'S figured that If the armor
plate manufacturers did raise the
prices it would cost the government
$24, 100000 extra for armor plate to
complete the five year naval build
ing program. Senator Tillman said
he proposed to ask Senator Penrose
to repeat the announcement of the
armor plate manufacturers to the Sen
ate.

This would actually mean that if there

Should the fund held by the city

to cover the amount of damages that

to make up the deficiency should be
levied against each licensee. In the

pay the assessment, the license should
be Immediately revoked.

FIRE CAUSES S7,OOO DAMAGE
Two Alarms Call Bremen Out in SnoWstOrm to Lafayette and Broad Street Blocks

Two cellar fires that, for a brief while, assumed threatening propor-
 tlons brought all companies of the
 New Britain department into action
 last night and caused a damage that
 is estimated at about $7,O0O. Much
 of the loss is caused by smoke and wa-
 ter. The origin of both fires is un-
 determined, although it was reported that one was due to defective electric wiring. Much apparatus was used in responding to the alarms because they canle within a short time of each oth- CT and before the first blaze had been entirely checked.
 At the combination store-apartment block at 3S-40 Lafayette street a pile of kindling wood in the cellar got on fire, the smoke filling the apartments above and causing many of the ten- ants to flee into a, binding snow storm. A still alarm was followed by Box AZ at 5:5S o'clock. Engine Com panies 1, 3, and with Hook & Lad der Co. responded The building is owned by John Sobsky. Water lines were used and it was necessary to chop holes in several of the floors, the flames having started to eat their way up between the walls. It is estimated that the loss will be about $1,000
 The other fire was at 91-95 Broad street. a store and apartment block owned by John Krowiec. A still alarm was followed by Box 332 at 638, En- zine Co.,, No. 5, which comes to head quarters on first alarms in the center and north end, responded. Assistant Chief William J. Noble with Engine and 4 also responded.
 It was found that the fire started under the cellar stairs, crept up a shaft and threatened the building and tenants. The loss is at about $5,000. John Fila. barber, and P. Kostrzewski, dry goods, l are reported to have sustainG> consid- l erable loss.
