GARAGE DESTROYED
 WHILE STORM RACES
Heavy Aerial Truck Paves Way For Apparatus to
 Reach Scene.

The value of the aerial truck in the fire department was proven in a conclusive manner last night, when the apparatus made it possible for the
 lighter auto machines in the depart ment to reach the Luke Sinskie place on Pennington avenue thereby sav- ing the home of the Sinskie's from de- struction. A large barn On'the site, used as a garage, was totally destroy ed. and with several autou1o bile trucks and a large number of chickens. Considerable amount of farming implements were also de- stroyed. The f1remen succeeded in getting a touring car and two cars out of the structure. .f. G
 At 10:45 last night telephone message was sent in for a company and No. was ordered to the scene. Just outside the door of the engine house, the truck got stuck in the snow and word was sent to the con- tral station. Chief Noble ordered No. 1 company to proceed. and the break ing of a chain put this company of of commission temporarily. Engine Company No. 4 was ordered to go to the Pennington street place, and only reached few feet away from the house on Curtis street when it got stuck. The big aerial truck was then put in commission and it ploughed it's way through the heavy drifts in,an easy manner. Over the North Main street hill, the truck proceeded and the path made it possible for Engine Company No. to get started and reach the fire. Two lines of hose were used in fighting the blaze, and much attention was paid to saving the house. which was accomplished. The loss will amount to $7,0Oo according to Chief Noble.
 Chief Noble was loud in his praise of the merits of the aerial truck, particularly in such storms as that of yesterday. He characterized the truck as a 12 months piece Of fire fighting apparatus, xiz., that it is serviceablc in all kinds of weather and under any condition. The head of the department today had hose and chemicals placed on the truck, and until the roads become more passable, the truck will respond to an alarms.
 Chief Noble yesterday afternoon and early last evening. used the truck to open up some of the streets about the center of the city, and those near the factory buildings.

They had taken of the five men of the barge Rutherford, a companion of the Tuckahoe, late yesterday, by use of the brooches buoy. But the Tuckahoe did not drift near enough to the beach to enable them to shoot a limo over her.

All efforts to get a line aboard were fruitless through the night Soon after daybreak. however. the force of the tide, surf and TO- mile wind drove the barge. up the beach and the brooches buoy brought the benumbed men ashore.

The man was arrested by Police

Constantine was coming down

was going west on NJ street. He
should have slowed down even just

left and barely avoided a collision.
His reason for that stunt was
that it was not against the law in
