The old fire company was compellA
ed in 1920 to pay all its own expenses
and the question before Council
is hat each company shall control its
own organization subject to the resu-
lations of the fire board and receive
equal recognition. The real question
seems to be not the question of recog
milton of the old company, which has
never by action of Council been put
out of service, but the control and
management of the Somers Point Fire
mems Relief Association, an organiza9
ton that was chartered February &c,
1907, nearly sixteen years ago. The
Relief Association receives from the
State each year a percentage paid by
the fire insurance companies, and this
fund is for the purpose of taking care
of the sick, INDECENT and injured fire

WORKING ON GOLF LINKS.

All rumors that Somers Point was
to have a golf club located there soon
were set at rest and confirmed a few
days ago when a large force of men

included in the club grounds. The

might SCHOOL
IS CONSIDERED
- TU
Board of Education May Estab-
fish Evening Glass If Suffi-
cient Number Enroll.
State Would Help Pay

Several inquiries have recently been
made by local adults and some minors
as to whether or not there could be a
night school established in this city
for those children who are unable to
attend the day schools and adults who
desire to improve their education. The
matter was discussed on Tuesday
night at a meeting of the Board of
Education and the conclusion was
reached that if a sufficient number of
people would enroll such a school
would be established here.
There must be at least one hundred
to enroll in the evening class, which
must be held at least three nights a
week for two hours each night the
class is held. 1t would require at
least three teachers for the class and
several subjects could be taught. The
hours of study would be from seven
to nine o'clock.
II such a school were established
the State Board of Education would
pay one-half of the expense incurred.
The money for this years expenses
would be paid mex year by the state
and the expense would be borne by
the money in school funds for current
expenses, under the statute governing
such cases.
The ages of those who might enroll
in the evening class would have to be
between twelve and sixty-four. All
who enroll would have to be regular
in attendance if the class is to be
kept up.
For the past two years there was
an evening school conducted at the
High School gratuitiously, but this
school was mainly for the purpose of
preparing foreign born people for nat
uralization as American citizens.
At the meeting Tuesday night the
Board of Education confirmed the ap-
pointment of several teachers who had
previously been named for this year.
Several bills for current expenses of
the schools were audited and ordered
paid.
Miss Irma Stiles, musical instructor
of the schools, offered to donate the
sun of $75 toward the purchase price
of a new upright piano for the High
l School ApditoriRm NHrTarErnpapl8n

No ACTION ON
FIRE MATTER
Somers Point Council Took No
Action At Meeting Last
Tuesday Night.
Firemen Disappointed

When Somers Point Council held an
adjourned meeting last Tuesday night
it was expected that some action
would be taken on the matter pending
to settle the differences which exist
between the Volunteer Fire Company
No. /, and the Paid Fire Department
of the city. However, Council order
ed four no parking signs for Main
Street and New Jersey Avenue, order
ed some holes filled in streets, paid a
few bills and adjourned without any
thing being said regarding the fire
matter. There was a large attendance
of the firemen at the meeting and
others waited outside of the city hall
for news of Councils action, but they
were disappointed when nothing was
done.
According to an officer in the voluD-
teer organization, the petition which
has been in circulation for the last
two weeks to find how citizens of the
city feel OF the matter, was at the
meeting, and bore a number of sigma
lures. No action was taken on the pc
tition.
The following statement was made
by an officer in the Volunteer Fire De-
Bui lllitlli ANO. l. alttl lAt DittliiS VI
Council:
Volunteer Fire Company No. / has
been organized and doing fire duty
here for the past 20 years. 1t has al
ways been under the jurisdiction of
the city. In 1920 there was a commit
tee from Council and a committee
from the company which held a joint
meeting. A resolution TO City Council
for new fire apparatus was adopted
and City Council purchased a Howe
motor fire engine. When the new en-
CINE was received Council requested
the old company to remove its appa-
ratus, so that the new engine could be
housed in the %fire-house at the City
Hall, which had been occupied by the
old company. At that time Council
passed an ordinance creating a fire
board and a plan under which new
companies could be organized. A pc

Special Session OF
Council To Be Held
Report of Sewerage Commission
To Be Considered and Tax
payers Will Be Heard.

A special meeting of City Council is
to be held at the City Hall on Monday
evening at eight o'clock for the pur-
pose of considering the report recent
ly made by the Commissioners of AS
sessment appointed to assess the bene-
fits and fix and determine the damages
incident to the installation and com
pletion of the sewerage system and
disposal plant.
The report sets out in detail the
amount of assessment made by the
Commissioners against each property
which abuts the sewerage main. In
order to determine the amount to be
assessed against each property to GOV.
er the total amount to be raised the
Commissioners divided the city into
zones Each property owner may find
out definitely the amount he will be
called upon to pay the city, if the re.
port is adopted at this meeting. II
any property owner desires to be
heard at this time regarding the am
ount which has been assessed against
his property he will be given an op.
p%ortunity to express himself before
City Council prior to any action being
taken on the report.
While Council has only received the
report and has not definitely formu
lated all the details in connection
with the collection of this sewerage
assessment, yet it has been informally
discussed and the opinion is that the
assessment can be paid by the prop
erty owners in installments, with in
terest being charged on all unpaid bal
ances. Property values were not TAX
