New Ambulance Here.

Local hospital patients who have
long needed an ambulance to take
them to the train, or to Trenton for
treatment, will be gratified to learn
that one has been purchased by
George B. Horner, of Church street,
and that it will be available either
night or day. In order to secure its
immediate delivery Mr.. Horner's
son Roscoe Horner, went all the way
to Richmond, Indiana, after it driv-
ing it home in less than seven days,
without mishap or delay. He had
one interesting experience, however,
at Hagerstown, Md, where he in
tended remaining over night at the
Hotel Vivian, but was destroyed by
fire, the alarm being given just as
he was ready to retire. Fortunately
he escaped injury and loss of proper
ty because of the hour.
The ambulance, the first of the
kind to be used locally, is beauti-
fully constructed car, in which every
comfort has been arranged for the
sick patient. Instead of suspending
the cot from the ceiling, as is usual
ly done, Mr.. Horner has personally
constructed a wheeled cot. with
pneumatic tired wheels, and special
made springs, that will enable even
one man to place patient in the
ambulance without trouble. 1t is a
new and novel scheme, that looks
promising. Seats have also been pro-
vided for the attending physician and
members of the family who may
wish to accompany the patient.
Heretofore anyone in this city
going to hospital had to be taken
to the depot in a wagon or ordinary
auto, and then transferred to the
train, and this repeated at Trenton,
but under the new arrangement they
can be taken direct, and in most
comfortable manner.

Commissioners Will Name Day.

The petition for local option elect
ton was presented to the commits
sioners Thursday and at the next
meeting a date for the special election
will be named. The petitions contain
ed 379 signers. of whom five were
understood to have MT registered
last fall, which would leave 374, or
fifteen more than the 1853 necessary
to call special election.
There is some division of opinion in
the city as to whether the special
election would be best, or to wait
for the regular election time, but
the commissioners now have no dis
erection in the matter.
Isaiah P. Smith, a retired banker,
who presented the petitions thought
that the special election would give
the people better chance to decide
the issue free from other influences.
The commissioners explained that
there only objection to holding the
special election was the cost, together
with the refund that would have to
go to the license holders if the city
goes dry. Having made up their
budget for the year this charge will
have to be carried forward tonext
year as deficiecy, in case the drys
win.
The collection of garbage in this
city will cost 2,400 for the coming
year, instead of 81, 800 as heretofore
due to the rising costs, according to
an agreement made with Thomas w.
Mitchell, by the city commissioners.
Horses. equipment, supplies and
wages have increased more than the
thirty-three and third per cent ask
ed by Mr.. Mitchell, according to the
figures he has worked out. The col
lector is also handicapped in having
to haul all the garbage up a hill
more than 200 feet high, to dispose
of it, there being no place in the city
where it can be placed. The ashes
are used to fill in places, but this is
not possible with the garbage, of
course.
C. C. B. John, head of the city
police court, reported no business
done for March, consequently no
charges. Night Policeman William
Morse reported no arrests, and Fire
Chief George W. Arnett report no
fires that he knew Of" This last
caused a bit of merriment as the chief
slept through the largest fire this city
has had in several years, when the
Groginsky department store was
burned. In the excitement the other
fireman forgot to call him, and all
being puiet and serene in his part of
the city he was not awakened.
While the commissioners were hold
ing their meeting a representive of
the New Jersey Nothern Gas Com
pany removed the city's meter, but
this was not serious handicap as
this system of lighting has not been
used in years, but it was only when
the readiness to serve" charge was
added that the presence of the meter
became known tn the city fathers.
The following bills were ordered
paid; F. E. Buckman, blacksmithing
work on street tools, $3.50; A. H.
Muhs, keeping poor, $21; H. S.
Holcombe, painting at the city Jail,

Anxious to Keep Streets Clean.

The city commissioners are anxious
to secure the cooperation of every
householder in keeping the streets
clear of rubbish in front of the homes
and Garbage Collector Thomas w.
Mitchell, says that his men will haul
away all the street cleanings that are
placed out in doxes on collection day.
City Engineer Theodore G. Kitchin
is negotiating for a tractor and if
one can be secured for early delivery,
as seems possible, it will be used in
connection with the sweeper to re-
move the accumulated dust and dirt
from the streets. 1t is planned to
sprinkle the roadways prior to the
sweeping. so there will be no dust
filtering into the homes. City water
will be used while the supply is
plentiful, and later, if it continues to
be needed for sprinkling purposes,
it may be pumped from the river or
one of the smaller streams passing
through the town.
On all repair work this year the
stone will not be thrown on loose,
but the macadam will first be pick
ed up, and the stone will be treated
and rolled firmly into the depressions
with the city,s ten-ton steam roller.
This will make a permanent job
rather than a five-day.

sition by the American government. Ths
owners of seven Dutch vessels, aggre
eating forty thousand tons, whose char

This government, it is understood, has
refused to allow these ships to load and

This will leave several thousand tons

GENERAL WOOD IN
ACTIVE FOREIGN SERVICE
Believed That Former Chief
of Staff Will Soon Com
mand Corps In France

Washington, May 23.-Major General
Leonard Wood, senior major general on
the army list, will soon be in foreign
service.
His friends in the army predict he
will be corps commander soon after he
shows himself on the western line.
Wood, early this year, studied con
ditions abroad and came back here with
a number Of critical observations. As
a storm center in war department af-
fairs for many years, he aroused Off
cials by his statement, but they denied
that any attempt to sidetraek him would
be made. 1t is now established that
foreign service is assured him.
Distinctive American participation in
the west line battling on large scale
is likely at comparatively early mo-
ment, army officers said today.
The first field army will be assigned
its place on the front, becoming semi
independent army for offense and de.
fense, without heed to movements of
other forces elsewhere except as gov
erned by general strategical plans.
The field army commander will be
responsible to General Pershing, but
will have to solve for himself most of
the operation plans.
