LEGION PLANS
FOR CHRISTMAS
Local Post Will Remember
Wounded and Sick SOL
dierS in Hospitals

Perth Amboy Post. As, of the AM
erican Legion will take care of the
wounded and sick soldiers from the
community who are in the hospitals
at Christmas. 1t has been the policy
of the post to send packages to these
men during the holiday season to
manifest the interest in their former
comrades as we'll as bring them some
Christmas cheer. This was decided
at a meeting of the post which. held
Jointly with the Women's Auxiliary
took place in the auditorium of the
public library last night.
A committee to be appointed by
the commander will soon make a
visit to Fox Hills Hospital to investi-
gate the individual cases there. A
report was heard last night of the
complaints that have been made by
patients in the tubercular ward and
this condition in particular will be
looked into.
At the close of the business ses-
sion Samuel l.. Garretson of the G..
A. r. gave a short talk and was fol-
lowed by vocal solos given by Mrs.
II. p. Rastkowsky, accompanied by
Mrs. William Hesser. Mrs. Rast-
kowsky is a pupil of Miss Ethel Kill
lion and gave three selections that
were enthusiastically received by
the post. Jim O'Brien of New York
greatly entertained the guests with
twenty minutes of Irish humor and
refreshments were served by the
auxiliary.

TAX SITUATION
IS DISCUSSED
Committee Named to Wait
Upon County Board of
Taxation

About fifteen of the property own
ers on Smith and State streets met
last night in the rooms of the Cham
Der of Commerce at which time the
present tax situation was discussed.
1t was expected that at least forty
or fifty people would attend this
meeting, but it is supposed that the
storm kept them away.
A discussion of the general situa-
ton took place, in which those pres
ent were of the opinion that the
valuations of Middlesex county are
already high enough and that the
claims of Union county that the Mid
dlesex county ratables are too low
is untrue. The same opinion seemed
to prevail at this meeting as at 9TH
ers which have been held. that the
proper thing is an equalization OF
the taxes of the state.
Isaac Alpern, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, who presid-
ed at the meeting, was instructed TO
appoint a committee to wait upon
the county tax board and support
the action taken by a previous COM
mittee that has been appointed. The
committee Mr.. Alpern is to appoint
will consist of business men of this
city.

NAVAL ACTION
At STANDST|LL
Japanese Delegates Await
Word From Toxic Before
Further Action

WASHINGTON, Dec. (By The
Associated Press)-The negotiations
in the naval ratio question were
practically at a standstill while the
Japanese delegates awaited further
word from Toxic.
By today the result of yesterdays
conference between the principal
American, British and Japanese del
egates were under study by the
japanese cabinet and the diploma
tic advisory council.
All indications were that whatever
had been proposed as means of
bringing the United States and
Japan together did not involve any
abandonment of the 5-5-3 ratio pro-
posed by the United States and sup
ported by Great Britain, but rather
concerned other considerations
which the Japanese regard as neces-
sary to them.
Chief among these was understood
to be the question of further forth
fication of the American bases in the
Pacific, which the Japanese wish to
see checked. The relation of forti-
fed bases is such to fleet ratio that
there was suggestion the Japanese
might regard the 5-5-3 proposal as
not inconsistent with their standard
of national security. if details re-
garding them could be arranged.
There was a decided impression
among other delegates in yesterdays
conference Of the Big Three that
means of approach to a settlement
had been found outside of any al
teration of the 5-5-3 ratio.

RECOUNT IS COMPLETED
Appears as if Democrat Had
Gained Enough Votes to
Defeat Phillips
RECOUNT IS COMPLETED

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. g.
The recount of the votes cast in
Roosevelt at this years general elec-
ton was completed yesterday after
noon, considerable CONSERVATION be-
ing caused when differences amount
ing to over thirty ballots were dis
covered in the third poll. Charges
and counter charges flew thick and
fas. from representative OF both
parties, the present outlook being
that Joseph c. Childs. the Democra-
tic candidate for councilman, who
was defeated by twenty-four votes
by Charles A. Phillips, Republican,
will be named and the control of the
council will be Democratic instead OF
Republican
The third poll count originally
gave Childs 266, and Phillips 325.
SAM Brown. Democrat, polled 261
and Leslie Hall, Republican, receiv-
ed 303. The recount figures gave
Childs PTS with five referred. Phil
lips 301 with six referred. Brown
274 with five referred and Hall 2S4
with seven referred.
Childs gained nine votes by actual
count over his original count and
had five referred while Phillips lost
twenty-four, as compared with his
original vote, and had six referred.
Thus thirty-three votes were gained
by Childs in this poll alone. more
than picking up the majority by
which Childs won. Brown also in
creased his lead over Hall.
The fourth poll originally gave
Childs 219. Phillips 236. Brown 237
and Hall 22S. The recount figures
showed Childs with 21S with one re-
ferred: Phillips 241 with four re-
ferred; Brown 236 and Hall 22S.
inally gave Phillips 1929 and
ChiIds 1905. The recount figures give
Childs 1912 with eleven referred
ballots and Phillips 1.009 with thir-
teen referred ballots. Thus If all
of the referred ballots are allowed
Childs will win by one vote.
There seemed to be general mix
up when efforts were made to ex-
plain the condition. The boxes
were not properly sealed. only a
thin piece of paper being used In
stead of the tape and wax. The
tally sheets were unsigned, the elec-
ton clerks assigned to that district
by the county board were working
in another district instead. the bal
lots were not numbered or properly
strung, and no account was given
of che ballots left over. Some OF
the extra ballots, it was said, had
been used as tally sheets. instead or
returning them and accounting for
each one. 1t was claimed that one
lot of ballots had the appearance
of being tampered with. and that
the same hand wrote in all or the
marks.
The Republicans intimated that
the Democrats had tampered with
the box and votes after the result
had been known while the Demo-
Gratis declared the Republicans had
failed to count the votes properly
and had rejected only Democratic
ballots, Republican ballots having
the same peculiarities being al
lowed.
AS result of these irregularities
some action on the part of the coun-
ty election board can be expected
soon.

ASK PAID FIRE
CHIEF IN CITY
Insurance Agents Association
Takes Up Matter With
Board of Aldermen
1T STARTS DISCUSSION
Some Action on Matter May
be Taken at Monday
Nights Meeting

A step which may mean resump-
ton of agitation to have a paid fire
department in this city was taken
last night by the Perth Amboy As
socidtion of Insurance Agents when
they presented to the aldermen al
their com mmittee session q resolution,
recently adopted by them. asking
that a paid chief be installed here.
The fire department at present is
composed of volunteers with the ex-
ception of few paid men who are
always in the house in readiness to
take out the trucks in case of fire.
just how the paid chief and VOL
unteer firemen idea will work out is
a question which. the aldermen will
consider seriously before taking any
steps. Some action is expected by
them Monday night.
The resolution as adopted by the
insurance men follows:
At a meeting of the Perth Amboy
Association of Insurance Agents.
held in this city on Tuesday, Novem-
Der 20. the following resolution was
adopted and ordered to be present.
ed to your honorable body, with the
request that action be taken.
"Resolved, That this association
go on record as favoring the ap-
pointment of paid head for the
fire department. to be known as the
chief of the fire department, said
chief to devote his entire time and
energy to that position"
The following in our opinion,
amongst a great many other reasons,
constitute sufficient cause for grant,
ing this request.
First. The fire department is one
of the, most important branches of
our city government and should have
at its head one who is thoroughly
drilled in the manner of fire fighting.
Second. The fire department
should be familiar with the locations
of the various serious hazards in
and about the city. so as to be in po-
sition to combat fire in the event of
same.
Third. 1t should be one of the
duties of the fire chief to investi-
gate the origin of all fires. especially
those of suspicious origin, and to
hold such parties where there is suf-
ficient evidence of crime.
Fourth. The chief should take
leading interest in a fire prevention
campaign, as through this means
much can be accomplished. the num-
ber of fires lessened. and much loss
OF llIe anu property Can DC prevent
ed.
Fifth. The necessity of regular in
spections of public schools. public
buildings. plants and stores. in order
to make suggestions, the carrying
out of which would help reduce the
number of fires. thus saving life and
property.
Sixth. The large amount of
money invested in our fire fighting
apparatus, makes it imperative,
that there should be one who is
responsible for this property, the
up-keep OF same, and the renewing
of parts of equipment when nee
essary. This especially true of our
fire engine. hose and life saving ap-
paratus.
Seventh. The chief to make reg
uiar inspections of the hydrants.
Especially in cold weather). and to
place new hydrants where neces-
sary, to authorize the replacement
of those hydrants or fire hose, which
are worn, out or otherwise need re-
placing. He to see to it that there
