.SCAVENGER MEN FIGHT
TO CLEAN UP THE CITY.
GilIigan Believes Conditions
Soon viii Be NormaI-Has
145 Wagons Out.

Although deferred somewhat by the
rain. the Newark Paving Company
started out its employees today with
the purpose of cleaning up the city
of the remaining 500 back loads of
refuse. The seavenger men were
started collecting in district one,
which takes in all that section west
Of Belmont. Clifton and Mt Prospect
avenues and that part of the city east
Of the Pennsylvania railroad. With
the purpose of making greater head
way with the work Hugh r. Gilligan,
president of tho paving company, and
Or. Charles F. Craster, acting health
officer, visited several sites which it
Is expected will be obtained as new
dumping ground.
The sites which are more centrally
located than the present one, which
are located in the meadows and Sill
Yer Lake section, were approved by
Dr. Craster. The deal, however, has
not been closed for them, and for that
reason their location has not been
made public. By using these new
grounds the seavenger men can eco
nomiZe in time and make much prog
resS in cleaning up the city
Mr.. Gilligan said today that there
were lIb wagons and three automobile
trucks engaged in removing the ac-
OF garbage and ashes. He
expressed the belief that by tomor-
row conditions will be normal.
IL was expected that all the accu-
mulated garbage would be collected
by Saturday night, but as fast as
IL was carted away householders
came forward with that which had
been piled up during the last few
weeks.
IL is estimated that since the New
ark Paving Company started on the
work the first of the year 1t collected
at least 1000 wagon loads that the
previous contractor was behind when
his contract with the city expired.
Today II was estimated that the back
loads to be collected number about
900 and that despite the rain. which
hampers the men in their work, all
will be collected by at least tomor-
row night.

TWO PLATOON SYSTEM
AGAIN To Be URGED
Firemen Anxious to Have City
Officials Sanction Proposed
Change.

Another effort to have the mayor
and Board of Fire Commissioners to
approve OF putting the two-platoon
system into effect in the LEGAL depart
ment is to be made by the firemeh.
TIL committee representing the Fire

which appeared before the commits
sion last week with that request is
seeking a conference with the mayor

WILL CONTEST ACTION
OF BERGEN FREEHOLDERS
Weights and Measures organi-
zatlon Object to Dismissal Of
Supt. De Croft.

For the purpose of testing the right
OF the Board of Freehclders of Ber-
gen county to dismiss Superintendent
of Weights and Measures De Croft, of
that county, the New Jersey Associa-
tion of Superintendents of Weights
and Measures intend to take court
action. Senator-elect Thomas +. Nc
Gran, OF Paterson, has been retained
as counsel by the association.
It ID contended that Mr.. De Groff is
protected by the tenure of office act
and that his dismissal is illegal. State
superintendent William l., Walton, of
Trenton, who Is president Of the or
ganization, and John II. Sullivan, Of
this city, who Is chairman of the eX-
ecutive committee, have asked the
support of all tho members in the
fight.
On the advice of President Walton.
Mr. De Croft has refused to turn over
his records or standards. This Is the
first attempt to oust any supcrintend-
ent of weights and measures In the
State. whether municipal or county,
since the tenure OF office act was
passed In 1912.
The act under which these officials
claim protection says: THE county
superintendents and municipal super
intendents of weights and measures
appointed by the governing body Of
the respective counties or the govern
ing body of any municipality or other
governing bodies, shall hold their
office during good behavior. and shall
not be removed, discharged or re-
duced in pay or position. except for
inefficiency. incapacity conduct un'
becoming an employe or other just
cause, and until the said official shall
have been furnished with a written
statement OF the reasons for such re-
moval discharge or reduction and
shall have been given reasonable
time to make written answer thereto"
In taking the De Croft case to court
the association expects TO find out
whether the tenure of office act is
constitutional. If II Is declared in
valid, an appeal to the legislature for
the necessary amendments will be
made.
Senator-elect MeCran, who has been
retained as counsel. is a son of the
city sealer Of Paterson.

FROZEN PIPES.
AND FIRE RISKS
National Fire Protection Asso-
citation Issues Advice to Pre-
vent Accident.

The following advice about now TO
thaw out frozen water pipes haa been
sent broadcast by the National Fire
Protection Associations:
MANY winter fires are caused by
ili-advised attempts TO thaw out
frozen water pipes,
"a burning match, torch or open
fame Of any description should never
be employed for this purpose. To
wrap the pipes with oil-soaked rags
and set them on fire Is worse than
folly; 1t is incendiarism.
Pipes are almost invariably adj
jacent to walls or partitions where
there is an ascending current of air
to feed and spread flame. Even IL
the flame does not start fire, its
sudden local heat may cause the pipe
to break and food the premises with
water,
WRAP the frozen section of the pipe
with cotton cloth and pour hot water
upon 1t teven II the hot water must
be obtained from neighbor) until
the ice In the pipe gives way. Rags
on the floor at the base of or under
the pipe will absorb the waste water
II the freezing is too severe to yield
to this treatment send for a plumber
Reputable plumbers always avoid
running water pipes along outside
walls where 1t is possible to do so.
Property owners when building should
look out for this. 1t may some time
save them money and vexation."

THIEVES WORKED
HARD, BUT DID
NOT GET BOOTY
Attempt to Rifle Safe of Roth
& Co., Butchers, Attributed
to Amateurs.

butcher shop of Roth & Co, at
45 Market street. is laid by the poll
TO amateurs. The attempted robbery
was discovered by Frank Block, mat
ager of the store, when he came o
open up the place fer business early
today. Nothing was missing from
the store.
The would-be thieves entered the
store by roring through panel N
the rear door Here they went to
considerable unnecessary trouble, Dor
ing twenty-nine holes around the
sides of a small panel with brace
and bit. The panel was kicked IN
and through the hole the door WIS
opened by turning the knob from the
inside
There is a pane of wired glass in
the door above the panel which was
forced, but this was not broken. The
safe, a large one with a double com
bination, stood behind one Of the
corners, and the thieves had little
room TO work upon 1t.
A small hole was torn i'm the lower
corner of outer sheeting ON the safe
and this was ripped away a little.
Outside of this, no damage was done
in the store. Apparently no proYi-
sions were carried away
The store was closed up shortly be-
fore midnight Saturday night, and
the entrance was effected some time
between then and early today. 4.

Judge Grice today refused to honor
warrant from Camden on which
George u. Bachelor, fhirty-five years
old, of 2S Melrose avenue, East Or
ange, was arrested by the local police.
He declared the warrant faulty and
released Bachelor. The latter assured
Judge Grice that he is ready to
