JEROME HOME
SCENE Of FIRE
Damage Set at $4,000 Fire
men Handicapped in Fight
ing Blaze

SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. 21:-A fire
of mysterious origin at the home of
Joseph Jerome, ST., on Ridgeway
J avenue, last night, brought the en-
tire city fire department. to the
Mechanicsville section twice during
the night. The fire alarm was sound
ed at 10 o'clock and the second at
l o'clock this morning. Both fires
were discovered in closets in the
dining room. About $4,000 is given
as the estimate of the damage.
The condition of the Mechanics
vile section which is also closed to
traffic on both main entrances SER
iously handicapped the firemen. The
Hole in the Wall and the road re-
pairs are responsible for this con-
dition. About the time of the fire,
Water Commissioner Braney and his
men had just completed removing
the water mains to one side to make
way for the storm sewer now under
construction. The water had been
shut off for several hours and had
just been turned on. 1t was also
necessary to have the alarm sounded
from the city hall, due to the fact
that the alarm box in this section
was out OF service since the repairs
at the Hole have been under way.
At the request of MI. Jerome, fire
extinguishers were used. Before the
firemen arrived volunteers formed
a bucket brigade and made short
work of the blaze, that filed the din
ing room. The chemicals were used
on the smouldering fire in the closet.

MOVE AGAINST PEDDLERS
PRAISED At CARTERET

CARTERET, Sept. 21:-Council-
man Frank A. Andres is being COM
plimented by local business men for
his interest in introducing last Mon
day a resolution to regulate peddlers
coming into the borough to sell their
wares. Although no definite action
as yet has been taken by the council
it is generally believed tentative steps
to protect the merchants of the town
against the invasion from outside
peddlerS will be made shortly. Ed
ward S. Wilgus, of Washington ave-
rue, this borough, writing on the
hucksters licenses says:
Much credit must be given to
Councilman Andres for his resolu-
ton introduced at the last meeting
Of the borough council regarding the
selling of various articles of mer-
chandise by peddlers and others
from outside towns. Surely this is
an evil that should be corrected. Our
merchants and business men are
mostly all large taxpayers and as
such are entitled to protection from
the fly by night peddler selling, as
in most of the cases a lot of inferior
articles are sold and making a large
profit at the expense of the people
from the borough. Our business
people have shown at all times a
friendly spirit to the newcomers in
the field but in justice to them it is
only fair that they should be pro-
tected from the class of merchant
whose wagon or 1ivver is his store.
"The people of the borough know
by experience that the merchant and
business man has always been ready
to lend a helping hand in time of
need. Therefore it is only fair to
them that the borough council pass
and put into force at once Council
man Andres ordinance governing
outside selling within the borough
limits.''
