SKATING IS NOT
YET SAFE HERE
Mayor Wilson Warns Against
Use of Water Works Pond.
Is Frozen Over.

The mercury in the thermometer
dropped almost to the zero mark
early this morning in this city. be-
ing the coolest snap of the winter.
Some thermometers in tile. city did
register zero but readings OF stan
dard thermometers showed three
degrees above zero to be the lowest.
The temperature rose as the sun
came out but it did not so more
than two degrees above the freezing
mark, t~hirty-two degrees, during the
hottest part of the day.
Ice formed along the shores of the
Raritan river and Staten Island
sound during the night. giving a real
winter appearance. The average
temperature yesterday was twelve
degrees, and although that is ex-
tremely cold for this climate, it was
two degrees higher than on January
is of last year when the average
temperature was ten.
Although the Eagleswood pond at
the water works in outer Smith
street is frozen over it was not con-
sidered safe this morning to venture
out upon the ice. The strong breeze
of Tuesday and Tuesday night pre-
vented much freezing. When the
wind went down last night. however.
the entire body froze over.
This pond was always the hobby
of Mayor William c. Wilson when
he was aldermanic chairman of the
street committee and he had a test
of the thickness of the ice made this
morning. 1t showed one and one
half inches twenty-fi f. feet from
the shore. The mayor did not con-
slider this safe for a large crowd OF
skaters and warned skaters against
using the pond until it had a better
chance to freeze deeper. There are
some spots in the pond, the mayor
stated, where the ice is not even an
inch and a half thick.
-Four large arc lights and a num-
Der of smaller lights have been
placed along the edges of the pond
and power connected TO them. As
soon as the skating is considered
safe by the mayor these lights Will
be utilized at night. Several bench
es along the sides of the pond will
offer places 10 rest or change skates.
Mayor Wilson said this morning
that although the water works pond
is not safe in his opinion. the ponds
in what are known as the clay pits
along Amboy avenue in Spa Spring
are solidly frozen and furnish a
smaller place for those who wish TO
skate. The busses to Woodbridge
go past these ponds. Another day
of continued weather well under
freezing should make the water
works pond safe, the mayor believes.

ESCAPES,
CALL F|REMEN
Polish School at State Street
and Buckingham Avenue
Thought to be on Fire.


At noon today an alarm of fire
was sounded from box "a at corner
of Buckingham mi and State
street. When the firemen arrived
at the scene, it was found that a
pupil standing outside of St. Ste
phen's Parochial school had given
the alarm of fire because steam was
coming out of some of the windows
on the lower floor. This was due
to the safety valve on the boiler
blowing off on account of the high
pressure. No damage was done.
There were no children in the
school, at the time of the call for
the fire companies.
Today's incident marks the sec
ond time in less than two months
that the fire companies have been
called out as the result of steam
escaping from "a valve in the school
of St. Stephens Polish Catholic
Church. About 9:20 o'clock on the
morning of Dec. .. when 1900 chill
dren were in school. an air valve
on a steam pipe was kicked off and
the room filled with steam. The
children were safely led from the
building. An alarm of fire had been
