He stated that the proposed ordi-
nance was sem to him by the State
Board of Fire Adjusters, whose repre-
sentative he recently accompanied on a
double inspection of the properties in
Absecon for fire hazard classification.
At that time Mr.. Wyand said the rep
resentative asked him if the local fire
company is under the control of City
Council, and he told him partly,
whereupon he said the inspector told
him the fire company should be abso-
lutely under the jurisdiction of the
municipal authorities, and hat the
State had blank regulation ordinances,
sufficiently flexible and amendable to
meet the requirements of the different
sized municipalities of the State, which
it is sending out, aiming toward sys-
tematic, State suggested, Councilmanic
control.
After passing the ordinance on first
reading it was referred to the Ordi-
nance Committee to meet with Chief
Wyand to decide on changes, recon-
mendations, additional provisions,
amendments, ETC., to be made to the
ordinance, so it can be passed on sec
ond, third and final reading before the
end of December. To insure expedi-
ton of the plan the chairman has call
ed a meeting of the Ordinance Commit
tee for next Wednesday evening at 8
o'clock, at the store of Councilman Pit
ney, to decide on the proposed amend
ments and recommend the passage of
the ordinance.
William Schoep1in, Jr., was appoint

ment having arrived. He was autho-
rized. to post notices to that effect in
several conspicuous places about town.

Jr.. was appointed city inspector on

THE ESSEx-THE WORLDS
FINEST LIGHT AUTOMOBILE

The Essex is the worlds finest light
automobile. No other car in the world
will do what an Essex will do.
Only the most costly automobiles
on the market can even approach il
in beauty comfort and performance.
But non of these costly cars have
the economy of the Essex.
Cheaper cars which come anywhere
lee the Essex in economy have Meth.
er its dependability or wonderful per-
Torrance.
And they also lack its long life,
which mean low depreciation.
More than $1,000 owners today will
testify to the fact that the Essex pro-
vides greater performance and more
comfort at less cost than have ever
before been obtainable in an automo-
bile.
