"About 1000 babies die every year

These figures can be cut to a negligi-
BILE number if such work as is carried
on now by the nurses of the child

taken over and made a part of the
work of the county, local community,

$4,000 for its child health center
work. The New Jersey children's

DOVER GETS NEW FIRE ENGINE
Town Council Directed to Purchase
Apparatus to Cost $4,000

AOWn OVultCAA OlICCtcu
Apparatus to Cost $4,000
At largely attended meeting of
Dover citizens was held Monday night
to consider the question of raising
certain amount for a new fire appa-
ratus' for the Robbins Hose Company.
There was but one vote against the
proposition which necessarily will en-
tail a substantial increase in the tax
rate. The experiences in the past six
months with Dover's inadequate fire
apparatus to properly fight fires in
certain sections of the town made it
apparent to all, that something had
to be done without delay. While pub
lie subscriptions was suggested by
some. by others this was deemed in
advisable, the practical plan finally
being suggested of raising the
amount by taxation so that all could
share alike in the purchase of the
apparatus.
The following resolution was adopt
| ed: "Be it
"Resolved, By the citizens of the
town of Dover, in town meeting met,
that the town council of the town of
Dover, be and hereby is directed to
purchase such additional fire apparat-
us and such attachments as they may
deem necessary and proper, to be
used thereon and Herewith; and be it
"Resolved, That the Town Council
of the Town of Dover, in addition to
the taxes now annually levied and
collected by law, also levy and collect
in the same manner as other taxes
are now collected the sum of twelve
thousand dollars to purchase said
additional fire apparatus"
The raising of the money will in
crease the tax rate approximately
from 60 cents to 81 on the 500 as
