MAYOR ASKS POLICE PROBE
ISSUE OF PUBLICATION

Mayor William C. wilson this
morning instructed Chief of Police
Niels J. Tonnesen to investigate the
distribution of a publication known
as the 'Firemen's Standard" in this
city and the collection of sums for
advertising from merchants and in
dustries. The mayor claims that
those distributing the publication and
collecting for the advertising have
mi~srepresented matters and that the
whole affair is an absolute hoax.
The mayor explained this morning
that he had been approached some
time ago by a man requesting a let
ter giving him permission to work
up a history of the Perth Amboy
Fire Department and publish the
same. Instead Of securing the his
tory of the firemen, the mayor
claims, the publication has used this
as an advertising scheme for the
benefit of themselves. The f1remen
of the city receive nothing from the
amounts paid for the ads, the mayor
says, and he will try and warn those
who advertised in the magazine to
refuse to pay the collectors. The
print cannot be read. the mayor
says. and the pictures are a dis
grace.\
