loss.
In the meantime the necessity for
more hose is 30 apparent that the al
dermen will take up tomorrow night
and it is likely that at the regular
meeting on Monday night the body
will advertise for bids for new hose.
1t is understood that the matter of
appointing at least ten new patrolmen
will also come up for discussion on
Friday night.
For a long time the police depart
ment has been short of men enough
to properly patrol the streets at night.
At the present time the force Is more
than badly crippled. more than half
of the men being on the sick list and
1t has been necessary for the Chief
of Police to call on the Home De-
fense League almost overy night for
from four to six men to help out.
1t is the present plan to have the
new men go to work on November 1.
With ten new men and the putting
back on patrol duty of the traffic men
and motorcycleman for the winter
months. the city will be well protect
ed at night.
During the past two weeks when
a number of patrolmen have been Ill
Il has been found difficult matter
to get a doctor to attend them and as
the aldermen do feel that 1t is import
ant to have the men on the Job as soon
as possible, the matter of appointing
a police surgeon who shall at all tim es
take care of the men. will also be dis
cussed.

committee met today at 10 o'clock
sixteen new bodies had been received
and two more were expected. These
bodies are all buried quickly as 1t is
impossible for the undertakers to en-
balm them.
1t is understood that these bodies
are not removed from the homes and
placed In the morgue, because of the
fact that the patient died from the
results of influenza. as II Is claimed
that all germs die with the body, but
the fact that the undertakers cannot
embalm them makes IL necessary that
the bodies be removed as soon as pos
sible.
The health department is today
efforts to obtain q complete
list Of the number of people who
have died of the disease and who die
each day, and in this way 1t Is be-
lieved the exact condition of the cpl
demic in the city may be obtained.
Circulars from the Atlantic Divi-
sion OF the Red Cross. giving instruc-
tions in preventing the disease, will
be distributed about the city within
short time. This work has been
placed In the hand of Tracy u. War
ing, the chairman of the local Red
Cross.
Bodies of all persons who have
been buried may be taken up by rela-
tives and removed to different ceme-
tries, II Il is desired. after the epidem-
ic has abated, according to informa-

ELECTION NEAR;
POLITICS QUIET

Politics in Perth Amboy and
throughout Middlesex county is very
quiet at this time. Both Republican
and Democratic leaders admit they
are finding q great deal of difficulty
in arousing any interest In the coming
election, now less than three weeks
off. Everyone. is too busy with war
work and the Liberty Loan drive to
discuss politics.
While 1t Is true that the registry
list in this city is smaller than for
merly. owing to the large number of
voters who are in service, there are
many still in the city who refuse to
enthuse over the political situation.
Next Tuesday, October ~, Is the
last registry day.
An intensive drive will be started
next week by both parties In an en-
deavor to arouse interest in the COM
ing election, but the fact that no pub
lie meetings can be held will hamper
the work of the leaders
In this city the Republican candi-
date for mayor is the present efficient
mayor, John F. TenBroeck. The
Democratic candidate is Frank Dor
sey, of Dorsey & Sons. coal and Ice
dealers.
In the first ward Alderman William
Wilson, Republican, who at this timo
is very i'll. will be opposed by Edgar
Francis, Democrat. In the third ward.
which Freeholder William Hilker,
Republican, has represented for a
number of years, Bert Rickwood, Re
publican. will oppose Thomas Patten,
Democrat In the fifth ward Alder
man John j. Clark. Democrat, is up
for reelection. His opponent is James
Kelly. Republican.
All of the candidates on the excise
ticket are working hard for election.

LUMBER COMPANIES
 TO ISSUE BONUS
Arkansas Short Leaf and Saline River Companies Will Present Employees
 With Approximately $2O.OOO.

The semi annual bonus to the en- ploycs of the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber company and the Saline River Hardwood company will be issued within 8 few days, according to off, clals of those concerns.
 The bonus will in all probability ex- ceed S20,000 and every employe of these two large concerns will be af- 1ected. and the men aye eagerly await ing the issuance of the bonus checks.
 inc amounts given each man will represent per cent of the salaries of those who have been in the employ of these companies for a period of less than six months duration, and those who have been employed for more than six months will receive 1-2 per cent of their salaries. It was stated last night by J. M. Stewards, general manager of the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber company, that about 75 per cent of the employees will receive 7 1-2 per cent of their salaries, as they have been in the employ of these companies for more than six months.
 The issue of the bonus checks re- iqulres large amount of clerical work, and it is probable that the en- pioyes will not receive the amounts for about two weeks.

 Capt. Schoenfield, of the Jonesborc team, with Boor. his husky center were the stars of both games. The Pine Bluff boys were weak in basket throwing. which was the strong point of their opponents.
