FIRE. MARSHAL
AND SQUAD IS
PLAN ADVANCED
Newark Fire Prevention Ex-
pert Outlines What Should
be Done by City
ATTACK HIGH RATES
Paid Dept. rs Per Cent. More
Efficient, Claim, But Vol
unteers Are Praised

William Gibbs of the Newark de-
partment of combustibles, speaking
before the members of the Lions
Club at the weekly luncheon of that
organization in the New Packer
House today, declared that Perth
amboy should have fire preventive
squad to decrease the number of
fires and also to lessen the damage
1t fires. This squad. the speaker said,
should consist of a marshal ana
three assistants, who, after laying
the city out in districts, should keep
record of how all buildings are
constructed, SO that it will be known
instantly how best to combat fires in
them.
Mr.. Gibbs emphasized the value of
Zoning a city so that the residential,
business and industrial sections are
in separate parts of the city, rather
than intermingled. The importance
of cooperation of a fire preventive
squad with the building inspector,
the labor department and the state
tenament house bureau was point
ed out by the speaker IL the desired
good -esults are to be accomplished.
The speaker urged the adoption OF
fire code in Perth Amboy and said
that when permits are granted for
the alteration or construction OF
buildings the inspector should see
to it that fireproof construction is
adhered to.
Asked whether or rot paid fire
department would mean an in
ereased efficiency in fighting fires
nd preventing large losses, Mr..
'ibbs said that past records show an
Increase of seventy-flve per cent in
iiiciency where paid departments
re put in force. However, he said,
'a understood the Perth Amboy vol
nteer department was unusually ef-
cient in its work. Paid fire de-
,artments make a study of prevent
ng fires. checking the spread of
'ilazes and the members devote their
sntire time to this subject, the
speaker pointed out, whereas in the
.ase of a volunteer department fire
lighting comes only as side line
and the firemen do not possess the
valuable knowledge of firefighting
which can be gained only after ex-
haustive study and experience.
II a fire prevention squad we've
introduced in Perth Amboy, the
speaker continued, the work of this
body of men coupled with that OF
the volunteer department in fight
ing fires would bring the results al
most up to those which would be
secured If a paid fire department
were in existence.
In reply to a question as to what
effect upon insurance rates the in
corporation of a rapid fire depart
ment in this city would have, the
speaker said it would probably mean
a drop of five points In the existing
rates.
The speaker told of the fire pre-
ventive measures taken in Newark
of the value of cleanup weeks il
ridding cellars, etc, of refuse, ant
of the good results obtained from
automatic sprinkling systems as in
stalled in numerous factories. Mr.
Gibbs also advocated fire prevention
campaigns in the schools.
Benjamin Goldberger was chair
man of today's meeting, which wal
we'll attended and one of the mos
interesting yet held by the club.

Great Prosperity Here
AS Plants Are Rushed

comes from the factory stacks and
the whirl of busy machinery is car
ried forth n the breezes that blow
from the sound.
Although t. silver cloud Of pros
perity hovers above he city there is
one big 'if' that can make it a fix
ture here during the summer months
and longer, or can drive it away,
with slim chance of it returning for
several months to come, prominent
business men say.
The ''if' according to those who
look forward tc the Pre- sperity con-
tinuing for many months to come
remains entirely in to the men en-
ployed in the plants. 1t is pointed
out that there will be no let up in
work providing the plants are per-
mitted to produce their usual flow
of products and the men do their
part and pr, dr ce the work required
of them per hou.
In other words, the prosperity of
the summer, as far as this city is
concerned, Gerends upon the men
themselves. The demand for the
goods is here and will remain, pro-
viding the industries are not hinder
ed in their operation.
