Complaint is Filed

10.
TOTTENVIILE, June 2:-Resi-
dents of Staten Island, particularly
those residing along the waterfront.
are up in arms and are today filing
a complaint to the board of health
against the stencil arising from the
thousands of dead fish that have
been cast upon the shore during the
past week or more. Fearing that an
epidemic of some kind will arise
from this unsightly and insanitary
condition the people will ask the
health department to take some ac-
ton in the matter.
Thousands of these fish, that are
of the moSs-bunker variety, are lying
dead along the beach.
Passengers going and coming from
the trains and ferryboat are made
sick from the smell that comes from
the fish. The smell was so bad at
the ferry the past three days that the
taxi drivers in their spare time went
along the shore and dug holes in
which they buried hundreds of the
fish to get rid of them but when. the
next tide comes in more are added.
Many believe that the fish are killed
by chemicals in the water that are
turned loose from the various chem
icaT plants on the New Jersey shore
while others say that the poundkeep-
ers, after taking the good eating fish
from the net, throw the oss-bunker
back in the water and they die. The
fish have been seen to come to the
top of the water through struggle
and then die.

Ouetion of Reinstatement

The question of reinstating Kurpiel
as a member of the local police force
row confronts Mayor Dorsey and the
aldermen. The mayor got in COM
munication with City Attorney Leo
Goldberger this morning concern
ing the placing of Kurpiel back on
the force and was instructed that the
reinstatement would have to be made
by the council. Kurpiel was sus-
pended on December and will be
paid at the rate of IS day for all
the time he has been off duty. UP
to the present time this amounts to
practically 5000 and 1T will increase at
the rate of IS a day until he is again
admitted to the. force. Since his sus-
pension Kurpiel has been working as
a carpenter.
Talking on the outcome of the trial
yesterday, Mayor Dorsey said this
morning: ut should teach the Off
GERS of the Perth Amboy police force
that when they are not in the per-
formance of their duty they should
in no way hold any conversation with
any of these streets rats whether they
be male or female and when they do
discover they are questionedable char
acters they should Immediately pick
them up to save the public from get
ting mixed up in just the same kind
of a mess"
