Aldermen Decide to Turn the
Money Over to Firemen'S
Relief Fund Instead

There will be no municipal fire
works demonstration this Fourth of

The subject of July 4 demon
stration was scheduled to come be-
fore the aldermen at their comnSit-
tee session last night, but when fhe
matter was approached members
of the board felt that the grief
stricken residents of the city would
rather have the money used to as

ALDERMEN ACT
To CLEAN OUT
JUNK YARD HERE
Meet at City Hall on Condi-
tionS at Perth Amboy Iron
Company Plant
HEAR RAILROAD MEN
Senator Brown Represents
SaIvaging Co: at the Hear
ing on Fires
WILL BE CLEANED OUT
No Formal Action Taken, But
Promise to Clean Up is
Obtained

The question of what action to take
regarding the Perth Amboy Iron &
Metal Company. in whose storage
sheds in South Second street four
fires occurred since last Sunday. was
discussed at length by the aldermen
in committee session last night. 1t
was while answering an alarm of
fire sounded for blaze in the junk
yard mentioned above that the crash
between the Eagle fire truck and
the Central Railroad express took
place on Wednesday afternoon, re-
sulting in nine deaths and five being
injured.
Harry Zagor, secretary of the junk
concern, was present at the alder
manic conference as was Andrew j.
Wight, counsel for the railroad, and
Central railroad representative. 1t
is understood that report was re-
ceived from the fire wardens, signed
by Louis FRANKIE, which referred to
the present condition of the storage
sheds as fire menaces and suggested
that all infiammable material be re-
moved.
The Central railroad owns the
property and leases it to the junk
company by the year. The railroad
company also owns the buildings, it
Is reported, the CO1lltHlS, COllSlSLlIlS
of baled rags and paper belonging to
| the proprietors of the junk yard. q,
| Senator Thomas Brown, repre-
| senting the junk company, pointed
out that the proprietors were willing
| to cooperate in every way with the
aldermen in strengthening out mat
| ters. He said that a salvaging busi-
ness was being conducted by the
company, thus saving great
amount of material which otherwise
would be wasted.
AS the conference was not an open
meeting nothing official can be stat
ed as to the decision of the alder
men but it is generally believed that
| the junk company will be allowed
| to continue only on condition that il
store nothing but scrap metal on its
| premises, all combustible materials
| being prohibited. Steps have already
| been taken by the junk company TO
remove from the storage sheds the
old rags, bags and paper which were
nst burned in one of the several
| fires. The inflammable gases arising
| from the materials, caused by heat
and evaporation, have been given
as the cause of the blaZeS.
Since the last fire, it is claimed by
| the company officials, two firemen
| are kept on the premises at all
times, being paid by the junk con-
Germ to keep a lookout for any pos
sible fire breaking out again.

OPEN JULY 1S1
Fourth Recreation Center tC
be Open in Hall Avenue.
Section
Tentative plans for the placing .

Tentative plans for the placing of
a new playground in the vicinity or
school No. 9 were discussed last
night at a meeting of the Recrea-
ton Commission held in the City
Hall. For some time the sentiment
of the commission has been favora-
ble to the providing of playground
facilities for that section of the city
and with the increase in the appro-
priation for this year with the re-
sulting ability of the commission to
provide equipment and apparatus. it
was decided to open a recreation
center if investigation shows an
available and satisfactory site.
1t was brought out that the in
crease in the appropriation would
be absorbed in the purchase of the
new equipment recently ordered
from the Fred Medart Manufactur-
ing Company and that this would
prevent the arrangement OF addi-
tional inssructors Tor the projected
playground. but the concensus OF
opinion seemed to be that some ar
rangement might be made whereby
the usual staff of six instructors
could be so divided up as to allow
the running of the fourth play
ground at least three days week
and possibly on full time.
William G. Moench. the supervis-
or, reported the definite engagement
of two men and two women in
structors. and stated that a letter
Offering the position had been sent
to a third female applicant, no reply
having been received as yet. There
is still one male instructor to be en-
gagged and, after going over the ap-
plications received, the selection
narrowed down to a choice between
two local boys. 1t was decided to
allow Mr.. Moench to use his own
judgment in choosing between the
two satisfactory candidates.
The instructors definitely engaged
are Miss Frances Hance, Miss Estelle
Andrews, Arthur ("Doc'D Emmons
and William p. Leahey.
The matter of keeping the play
grounds open on the Fourth of July
was next considered and the decision
reached was that they should be
closed, although the plan to have
free movies in the morning will be
carried out if possible. 1t was point
ed out that the double holiday this
year would probably lead many FAM
lilies to go away fer the weekend
and that the relaxing of the fire.
cracker rules would cause a small
attendance at the Fairgrounds.
Discussion as to the disposition OF
the newly purchased equipment re-
suited in the apportioning of slide
swings and gymnastic outfit tc
Hayes Park, and slide, swings and
giant strides to School No. 2. Schoo
is already well equipped and the
remainder of the recently purchased
apparatus will probably be assigned
to the new playground planned.
