To make the positions OF more than
400 placeholders being paid cat OF loan
money even more precarious they are
assured no protection by civil service.
These places were created and salaries

Fears for Destruction of Brigantine
Dispelled When Smoke Barragc
Is Explained

Atlantic City, n. j.. March 29.--For
ten minutes this morning huge clouds
of black smoke convinced 1000 eX-
cited watchers on the Inlet boardwalk
and dwellers in office and apartment
buildings that the isolated little town
OF Brigantine on the island of the
same name, two miles north of Atlantic
City was doomed to complete destruC-
tion by fire. The situation gained tragic
Significance. because Brlgantine has
neither police nor ilremen or water
supply, other than cisterns, owing to
the collapse of great boom which left
1t completely stranded ten years ago.
Just about the time sympathetic citi-
zens were debating ways and means of
getting firemen and apparatus across
the inlet to "save" Brlgantine. word was
received over the Government coast
guard wires that Brigantinc was quite
safe and happy. Burning of meadow
grass by South Brigantine coast guards,
TO raise a new crop of salt hay this
summer, caused the smoHe barrage.

salaries range about $4,000 annually
are not expected to be counted in on
the wage boost, an official said.
