motor cars on trip 10 Trenton and

north through New Jersey.
According to telephone message
from Trenton, the party did not
reach that place until nearly Il
o'clock. They were Joined there by
j. III. Gregory. OF Baltimore, who
has been engaged by the Mayor to
make a survey of the garbage situa-
tion In Wilmington and to recon-
mend improvements.
After calling upon Mayor Fred
erick w Donneily. ut his Office in

cation was taken to Trenton's gar
baEo disposal plant. In the absence
from tho city Of George @. LaBarr,
director Of Public Safety, they we're
escorted by his secretary, Harry
Kemler. Luncheon was enjoyed at

pleting an inspection of the Trenton

S. X. Smith, president OF the De-
partment of Public Safety. declared
that the directors were anxious to
proceed with the establishment Of a
paid service and wished to work out
plan whereby they could do so
within the lines laid down by the
Chancellor and with as little delay
as possible. The two principal OBJ
| jections raised by the Chancellor
were that the bond issue OF s697 .00C
greatly exceeded the cost OF estab.
fishing a paid service and that ma
terial and supplies for the service
had been contracted for without ad
vertising for bids as stipulated b,
I city ordinance.
The result OF the discussion was I
virtually unanimous agreement tha
the Public Safety directors prepar
an explicit plan for establishing
paid department and present It 4
Council for approval. This plan vii
carry with II an estimate OF cost a
nearly as may be figured. Accord
| ing TO the present outlook this sun
will be about s45O.000. When tn
department submits its program
Council will proceed with authori
zation OF the bond issue.
Inasmuch as the volunteer com
panies have been paid in advanc
for three months extension OF ser
vice, it was agreed that it would b
better to permit them to serve ou
the entire period. The voluntee
contracts date from September ]
In the meantime every effort will b
made to have everything in readi
ness to establish the paid depart
ment and take over the fire servic
on December 1. II is considered un
likely the city will attempt TO fioa
bond issue before that date an
possibly not until January 1.
Under these circumstances
probably will be necessary for tn
volunteer companies to trust the cit

equipment until cash is available.
