FIRE DESTROYED
STATE HOMEb BARN
Stock Rescued From Buildings
As Spectacular $4,000
Blaze Levels Structure

BIZ Special Correspondent.
JAMESBURG, Dec. 4-F'or the first
time in many years h Home for Boys
at this place was visited by a spectac-
ular fire yesterday afternoon that
destroyed a large brick barn entailing
a loss estimbated at $4,000. with con-
tents, hay and other food stuffs for the
stock. Harness and other farm neces-
stiles were also lost In the blaze.
The fire broke out about 4:30, when
the farm boys were at work in the
structure caring for the stock and the
origin is placed on inmates smoking
cigarettes in the loft. as the fire was
discovered at that point.
All the horses were driven from tho
building to places of safety, as were
the cows and hundreds of pigs in ad-
Joining buildings.
The home management called on
the fire departments of Jamesburg,
Helmetta, Englishtown. Freehold and
Hightstown for assistance, but On
their arrival no water was to be had,
as the lake used in such emergencies
had been drawn off several days ago
and left the entire colony Of cottages
liable to destruction. Fortunately the
wind drove the flames away from
danger.
What water was to be had was of
such low pressure that 1t was of but
little use. the fire departments stand
ing by helpless. seeing the structure
burn.
A large silo and COW barns adjoining
were saved after a great effort, dam
pened clothes spread about the roofs
saving these structures. The home
management served hot coffee to the
firemen.

stantial deficit for the current year.
Presumably nam utilities operat-

mission. I'VE desire to point out,
therefore. that the policy OF increas-

existing difficulties. While utilities
have centralized their efforts in solv-
ing their respective difficulties by in
creasing rates. studies of other meth
DDS might have been OF great advan-

interurban and street railway compa-
mics. A study of traffic conditions
might reveal the necessity of the re-

encouragement. rather than the dis
enlargement. of the profitable short

TRENTON, Dec. An granting

Washington Traction Company a Sec
ond increase in trolley fares within
a year today. the State Board of
Public Utility Commissioners made
the interesting declaration that the
policy of increasing fares and rates

On March IL last this company
was given permission to put Into eff

zones, being an increase of one cent.
and today 1t was allowed to advance
that rate to seven cents. ON the theory
that 1t is necessary to maintain the
service and to meet the operating
expenses.
The Utility Board says that the
company's deficit for seven months IN
