Aldermen, In Resolution, Au-
thorlze Mayor to Act to Cut
Down Living Cost

Voting unanim ously in favor of a
resolution introduced by Alderman
John +. Clark, the Board of Aldermen
at their meeting last night in the City
Hall, authorized the purchase by
Mayor Frank Dorsey of surplus sup
plies of army food for distribution at
cost to the residents. The resolu-
ton authorized the purchase of sup
plies not to exceed $4,000.
The board took action on the meas
ure to relieve the high cost of food
stuffs following the adoption of the
recommendation of the committee on
poor.
The latter was originally referred to
the committee of the poor at the pre-
v1ous meeting when a communication
was received from the mayor enclos-
ing a statement from the Quartermas-
ter Department of the Army that the
food would be sold to municipalities.
Despite the objections of Alderman
Clark at that time the board voted 70
charge the poor committee with the
resp possibility Of deciding on a ques-
ton which they had power to decide
only one way, since they did not have
funds to purchase the supplies as they
SO desired.
The committee on poor recommend
ed accordingly that the matter be re-
ferred back to the board as a commit
tee of the whole, the recommendation
being adopted. There was little dis
cussion and no open opposition when
the measure was introduced last
night, the members of the board SIM
everything should be done to reduce

that his son had decided that he
would like to earn O little money dur
ing his vacation and had taken the
employment at Camp Raritan..
Last night, following the explosion,
when his son did not return home,
Mr.. Turk said he got out his car and

LATEST REPORT
On THE STORAGE
Of EXPLOSIVES
Facts Given Out Some Time
Ago by Assistant Secretary
of War

The last official report to be made
public, as far as known, as to the
amount of explosives stored at Rari-
tan arsenal was contained in a state
ment made by Assistant Secretary of
War Crowell to United States Senator
Frelinghuysen under date of May 8.
This report was as follows:
Raritan Arsenal: On April 26th
shipping orders had been issued for
forty-five (45) cars of high explo-
sives which were to be moved. From
@. report received this date thirty two
(92) cars have been shipped, leaving
q balance of thirteen (13) cars which
should be shipped at the rate OF fve
(5) cars per day at least. In addition
to the explosives mentioned, the fol-
lowing materials are also at Raritan:
1,792,S00 lbs, black powder.
2,26O,000 lbs. wet picric acid.
8,868,425 lbs. wet pyro-cotton.
"The black powder" the letter
states, Is not a high explosive. the
picric acid is the property OF the
French government and the War De
partment cannot provide storage ia
cilities for 1t at any of the temporary
explosive depots However, the mat
ter has been taken up with the repre-
sentatives of the French government

ter goes on to say, for the sale OF
this explosive to the British govern
ment. If these negotiations are not
successful and there does not appear
to be any probability of selling the
material at a reasonable price 1t will
probably be destroyed"
Concluding, the letter says:
"In conclusion, it can confidently
be stated that by June 1st all hlgh
explosives in New Jersey will have
been removed with the exception OF
that stored at Amatol, Picatinny'
Rarftan and Sandy Hook. The only
explosive which it is expected Will re-

NEW EXP[ P[OSlON
Aldermen to Take Up Matter
With Washington; Similar
Move by Prosecutor

Probably the most vigorous con.
demnatien of the governments alleg.
ed practice of storing large quantities
of high explosives in q thiclsly popu.
lated district came from the BOARD
of Aldermen last night in a resolu-
ton that was passed without a dis
senting vote.
The resolution called upon the
United States Senators from New
Jersey, Joseph S. Frelinghuysen and
Walter E. Edge and Congressman
from this district, Thomas J. Scully
to take the matter up with the War
Department.
The storing of explosives at Rari-
tan Arsenal and at the Lehigh Valley
Railroad coal docks was condemned
in the most un \1uivocaH language
Copies of the resolution have been
sent to the Senators and Congress
men demanding that they take the
most positive steps to have the prac-
tice of storing large stocks of ammu-
milton by the government, in or near
the city stopped.
