MANY INSPECT TRUCK
TRAIN ON SUNDAY
Conveys to South Amboy
Makes First Stop Here

Late Saturday evening the first
unit Of an army truck train bound
for South Amboy, N. ", made
camp on the B. & O. property
south Of the station and remained
there over Sunday. This camp
was the source of much Interest to
Newarkers, many Of whom viewed
on Sunday, the provisions made
for taking care of Uncle Sam s
boys who are conveying these
trucks to a place Of storage from
Camp Holabird, near Baltimore.
Eight tents, each accommodating s
men, a kitchen, machine shop, oil
and water tank, comprises this
mushroom khaki village. The en-
campment and supply station will
be here for about a month. The
trains of ton Mack trucks in units
Of ten will pass through on Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays the
drivers returning to Camp Hola,
bird by train for the next shipment
Much interest centered in the
, camp kitchen where according tc
an obliging young lieutenant, "the
best of everything in the "chow
line is prepared and served to the
men. Everything is cooked by
steam which can be raised in ar
amazingly short time. Any fas
tidious "boarder" who longs fol
fried stuff is permitted the privilege
Of preparing it himself a la the
Boy Scout method. BILL" the
obliging "chow" artist, will usual
ly provide the meat or ''spuds' fol-
the experiment.
A well-equipped machine shop
in compact quarters attracted tn,
Observation-Disclosures among the visi
tors. This together with the kit
chen, the water tank and oil tank
will remain here during the entir,
four weeks. Another stop ant
supply station will be provided a
Bustleton, a suburb of Philadel
phia.
The trucks have been in temper
ary storage at Camp Holabird sine
1913, many Of them out-of-doors,
thick coating of oil preventing rus
and weathering. This is removed be
fore the trucks are taken out on tn
road. They will doubtless receiv
coat Of paint when they reac,

permanent storage there until fun
ther disposition is made Of them b.

Three Delaware Avenue
Homes Entered by Thieves

Burglars, evidently the same cul-
prits who have operated in Newark
on several previous occasions, visit
ed three homes on Delaware ave-
nue. last Friday night. AS in the
former depredations, they seem to
be after money but do not venture
beyond the first floor.
The homes Of Dean E. L. Smith,
Miss Margaret Kennedy, and Fred
erick Ritz were entered this time.
In each case entrance was effected
through a rear window. The Smiths
were out for the evening and do
not know whether the house was
entered during their absence or at
some time during the night. A
pocketboOk containing about I'D
cents. and some fruit were the only
things missed. A little money was
taken from the other two homes
entered.

Fire at Deer Park Last
Night Rouses Town

The prompt repsonse and speedy
action Of the Aetna Fire Co. avert
ed what might have been a fire of
serious proportions at the Deer
Park Hotel last night shortly after
II o'clock.
A truck bearing a Washington,
ID. c., license, drove up to the gaso-
line tank in front Of the hotel and
filled up to overfowing. The ex-
haust was so hot that the gas ignit-
ed and in an instant was ablaze.
The fire was communicated to the
hose of the supply tank at the hotel
and to the adjacent porch. An
alarm was sent in and in a few
minutes the firemen were on the
scene and had the blaze under con-
troll. In less than Is minutes it was
out. The truck was damaged very
little. The hotel porch was burned
and charred to some extent and the
ceiling Of the upper porch ripped
off to reach the burning embers be-
meath. The name of the hotel is
almost obliterated and the paint
blistered at that corner. The actual
damage, however, is not great.
Terrified citizens awakened out
Of their first sleep by the bell and
the shouts of those not yet abed,
rushed to the scene Of the fire in
all stages Of undress. One popular
young Romeo from the Experiment
Station paraded around excitedly
in gray bathrobe and sandals
Other spectators unconsciously dis.
played night garments, pinned up
in the haste of dressing, and jolted
loose from their moorings in the
rush to the scene of the fire.
The dash Of color needed to make
the scene rival the dress rehearsal of
midsummer Nights Dream" held
earlier in the evening, was furnish.
ed by the brightly FURNISHED en-.
CINE, the caps and sweaters of the
Delaware College Freshmen, and a
brilliant red hat picked up on haste
by belle Of the town and worn to
hide deficiencies in hair arrange
ment.

SPECIAL ELECTION
TAKES PLACE TODAY
Engineer Explains Proposed
Improvements at Public
Meeting

A special election is on this af-
ternoon in the Council Chamber Of
the town building to vote on the
question of whether or not the
Council of Newark shall be en-
powered to borrow a sum of money
not to exceed $4,000 to improve
the water and lighting system of
the town. S. B. Herdman is con-
ducting the election. A. L. Fisher
and Wilbur Wilson are judges.
A public meeting was held in the
Council chamber on Friday to dis
cuss the proposed improvements.
Alfred Hartman, general manager
Of the Consolidated Engineering
Co. Of Baltimore, who recently
made a survey Of local conditions
and prepared an estimate of the
probable cost, was present to an
swer questions.
Probably on account of the ap-
preaching storm not more than a
dozen attended the meeting. S. J.
Wright raised the question of the
advisability of making such i'm
provements at this time when labor
and materials are so high. c. A.
Short asked if it would be wise to
do part Of the work now and de-
fer the remainder for two years
or so.
Council has been deferring the
work for three years or more, for
this reason, and increasing demands
make action imperative.
"A. L. Beals stated that he has
heard rumors to the effect that the
water supply in the locality where
the present wells are located and
where it is proposed to sink the
new wells, is rapidly decreasing.
Mr.. Hartman gave assurance that
this matter would be thoroughly in
vestigated before proceeding with
any of the work even if the town
should vote to make the improve
ments.
Mr.. Hartman s estimate provides
for a daily water supply Of 1,0O0,-
600 gallons, which is double the
daily consumption at the present
time and which should take care of
the growth of the town for many
years. He recommends two addi.
tional 10-inch artesian wells, two
60 horsepower centrifugal pumps
an air-lift system, water receiving
basin, auxiliary gas engine, 10-incl
instead of 6-inch mains, and new
standpipe with capacity of 800,
600 gallons. In order to avoid tear
ing up Depot Road to replace the
6-inch main, it is proposed to run
the pipe up Academy street anG
connect with the old main at Mair
street. This route requires approx
imately 4S0 feet less Of pipe with
: consequently less labor and ex
pense. 1t would likewise obviatt
the necessity Of interfering will
traffic to any very great extent. The
estimated cost of the work is $72,
11S. Is. A bill was passed by the
present session of the Legislature
authorizing the Council to borrow
$4,000 for this purpose.
