parts of the city the aldermen de-
cided to. give all property owners
sixty days in which to have side
walks laid or the city will do the
work and charge 1t up to the own

along the Lehigh Valley property
about which many complaints have
been received by the aldermen from
residents in that section of the city.
A committeerepresenting the pa
trolmen of the city was heard by
the aldermen during their commit
tee session, request being made
that the $500 bonus awarded the
police last yea< be continued this
year. The aldermen agreed to con-
slider the matter but no promises
were made that the request would
be granted.
Louis M. Rossi, president of the
library board. and Frank l.. Anti
sell, former president. took up with
the aldermen the matter of securing
more money in the 1921 library ap-
preparation. They pointed out that
the librarians force was entitled to
an increase in salary, but this would
be practically impossible under the
present appropriation. The budget.
which was passed on its first read
ing two weeks ago. will be given a
hearing Monday night, at which
time changes might be made.

ROOSEvELT. Jan. 15-Much
peculation is being made in this
borough as to what will be the out
,ome of the hearing on the serious
charge which has been made
against DIR. John ]. Reason on We'd
nesday. when the doctor is arraign-
ed before Recorder Edward ]. Hell.

August Marks, the father of Mrs.
Emma Brewer, the twenty three
year old wife of Alvin Brewer, who
has sued DR.. Reason for $4,000
for alienation OF his wife's effec-
tons.
From the gossip about the bor-
sough at the present time one is
lead to believe that the testimony
will be of sensational nature and
from all accounts a large crowd will
be present at the hearing. Sympathy
continues to run high in the bor-
ough for Mrs. Reason and her
daughter, who is in boarding
school. as well as for Mrs. Brower's
parents.
The publicity given the whole af-
fair has so affected Mrs. Reason
that. she has been confined to her
bed with nervous prostration and is
said to be in a serious condition. As
for the doctor he still maintains his
silence and will have nothing to say
concerning the case. This position
has also been taken by the parents

ASK
FOR APPARATUS
Humane Co. in Plea to Alder
men Show Need of Protec-
ton in Hospital Section.


When the Humane Chemical Hook
and Ladder Company No. was
organized in February, 1918, and
recognized by the Board of Alder
men in March ofsthat year. it was
with the understanding that within
two or three years this company
was to have an apparatus and fire.
house. Almost yearly delegations
from this company have appeared
before the aldermen with the re-
quest that the original promise of a
house and equipment be kept. They
have been promised consideration
from time to time but as yet no site
has been secured for house and no
allowances made for any apparatus.
Last night-eight years after the
organization of the company, which
has attended all fires since 1913 and
had its members assigned to various
companies for active duty-the
Humane company again had del
egation before the aldermen assem-
bled at committee session to see If
something could not be done toward
giving them an apparatus and fire.
house.
William ]. Nolan was spokesman
Of the delegation and pointed out
that this company had been organ
lied for the purpose of giving free
protection to a section of the city
which is today without it. but much
in need of it. He referred to thar
part of the city west of Amboy ave-
nue., lying north and south OF New
Brunswick avenue. better known as
near the city hospital The
spokesman stated that the members
of his company had been doing ac-
tive service since 1919. securing
much experience in fighting fires as
the result of the Humane members
being assigned to the fire companies
where apparatuses have been in
stalled. 1t was also pointed out that
several of the Humane members
have served on the fire department
long enough to receive their exemp-
tion badges and during this entire
period have not answered an alarm
on their own trucks
The aldermen after hearing the
delegation promised to give serious
consideration to this matter in an
effort to satisfy the firemen and
also give the section near the city
hospital the proper fire protection.

The mother and the boy left for
this city and arrived here at 2
o'clock this morning. On their way
home he told his mother about his
mysterious disappearance from this
city, and when interviewed today
by an EVENING NEWS re-
porter he related the event in the
sarra fashion.
Little Morris said that he was
playing in front of his home on
Wednesday morning when a truck
came along and the driver asked
him to take a ride. The boy likes to
ride in an automobile and accepted
the invitation. He did not realize
the length of the journey, and wher
the driver got near "a big house
as he called the police station, the
driver told him to go home.
The child said that he had moth
ing to eat till he reached the Chill
dren's Society, where he was given
a meal and efforts were made TO
locate his home. The child, back
home this morning, seems to be
none the worse for his experience.
He laughs when anyone mentions
the long trip he took. and seems to
have enjoyed his adventure.
