We firmly believe Lalley-Light
to be the most reliable farm light

We found it to be the smoothest-

W. learned that its operating cost

Lalley-Light brings to the farm
the city convenience (at a lower

to pump water and run many
labor-saving devices.
1t furnishes the power to put run
ming water into the house and the
barn; to run the cream separator,
washing machine, churn, vacuum

In the labor which Lalley-Light
saves, it actually pays for itself
before the first year is up.
This is entirely aside from the

Suggested for

By Special Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, June 11-Chief OF
the local fire department. Richard
Neitopp has made several suggestions
for radical changes in the present
fire fighting forces of this city They
were presented in the form of a COM
m~unication to the Common Council
at their meeting last night. He sug-
gested that the present membership
of the fire companies be reduced at
least fifty per cent This would mean
a financial saving to the city of $1,000
per year. The communication further
recommended hat this money be laid
aside to secure much needed fire
fighting material The recommended
lions also included provision for regu-
lar drivers of the fire truck which
would eliminate n misunderstood
ing, such as occurred at a recent fire.
The letter also stated hat he had
made a personal investigation of the
condition of the fire engine now used
by the Protection Engine Company
and found 1t unfit for further use. He
suggested that this be disposed oil
and an A~merican-La France engine be
purchased in it's stead.
