DAMAGE
IN CHURCHF|RE
Brick Construction Saves Ed
ifICe-Interior and Altar
are Badly Damaged

The Ukranian Greek Catholic
church, on Easton street, was prac-
tically destroyed by a fire late Satur-
day morning, which it Is said started
from an overheated furnace. The
fire was discovered by children who
were in session in a rear room on
the first floor.
Under the direction of Chief John
Campbell the freflghters worked for
several hours in extinguishing the
blaze. The damage to the building
was estimated at $4,000, and IN ad-
ditional $500 to the altar and dec
o~rations about same.
Following the discovery of the fire
the teacher marched the children
from the building in a cool manner,
and as far as is known there was no
one injured or burned. Two children
who smelled smoke spread the alarm
and everyone was out of the struc-
ture within a few seconds.
The alarm was turned in from box
81 at State and Wayne streets, and
the firefighters made quick time in
getting to the scene. They worked
u%ntiringly in an effort TO extinguish
the fire with the least damage posi-
BILE.
Coming at this time Of the year
when the altar is specially decorated,
the fire Is keenly regretted by Rev.
J. Csaplniski's parish. Services yes
terday were held in the Hungarian
Catholic church on Cortlandt street
at 1880 O'Clock in the morning.
Building Destroyed
KEASBEY, Dec. 31--A fire, be-
lieved to have been of an incendiary
origin, destroyed a small frame
building used by the Perth Amboy
Gun Club at the Amboy Heights
section, Saturday night at 6 o'clock.
Fire companies from Fords, Hope
lawn and town responded, but the
small building was practically de-
stroyed upon their arrival. The
alarm was turned in by John Ro-
mer, a member of Protection Fire
Company No. /. Neighbors in the
vicinity of the fire claimed they
saw a person come out of the build
ing a few minutes before If burst
into flames. The damage is esti-
mated at a few hundred dollars.

~ believe that Perth Amboy needs
some good apartment houses on the
water front more than anything else
at the present time for its best de-
velopment.
1.-THE most desirable people are
moving out OF town for lack of ac-
oommodations. Woodbridge, Fords,
Sewaren, Tottenville, Metuchen and
Rod Bank are getting families that
by rights should live here. This
town has a certain physical advan-
tage that these other towns have
not. Situated on this beautiful
Raritan bay we are blessed with cool
nights in the summer time and with
an outlook unsurpassed. Certain
syndicates should be formed to build
some of these large apartment
houses with porches overlooking the
water front. They should not be
built with the idea of making money
out of them.
1.-THE well-to-do-citizen should buy
stock in them and be satisfied with
four or five percent on their invest
ment. My attention was called sew
eral months ago by my friend Will
liam B. Pratt of this city, to the fact
that the city should fill in the bay
out as far as the light house and sell
restricted lots on this beautiful water
front. A beautiful drive should run
along the water front as far as the

Patrolman Thomas. Rouslie wal
called into the home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Boleslaus slapslsi about . o'clock last
night to quiet disturbance. Mrs.
slapski complained that she had been
put out OF the house and she lodged
complaint OF assault against her

continued the matter to March "a,
placing Boleslaus on probation. The
court felt that the woman was partly
to blame for conditions at the Slap

The wife complains that Boleslaus
comes home almost every night under
the influence Of liquor and causes a
disturbance. She admitted, after
being questioned by Attorney Henry

COAL FOR FAMILIES
Connecticut Company Announces CO.
operative Policy for Its Workers
Relative to Fuel Supply.

New Haven, Feb. ga coopera-
tive coal purchasing plan under which
the Connecticut company will buy
coal for the families of its 5000 en-
ployes each April to be paid for by
periodic deductions of the payroll,
will soon be presented to the en-
ployes of the trolley company, ac-
cording to an announcement made
last night by President Lucius S.
Storrs.
In making public the plan, Presi-
dent Storrs suggested that it might
be followed by other large employees
in the state as a protection against
fuel shortage as occurred this win
ter.
Under the terms of the plan each
spring the company will act as a
clearing house for the coal orders of
its employees. As far as possible the
orders will be filled through the reg
ular coal dealers, WHO will be asked
to accept payment in installments
with the trolley company as security.
The cost of the coal will be met by
regular deductions on the payroll,
while the coal will be delivered as
early as possible.

The designer Of the soldiers mon
ument, William Il. Brooks of New
Britain, was instructed to draw plans
for bronze tablet, at meeting OF
the Honor Roll committee held last
evening at the home of DR.. T., G.
3Hodgson.
If plans for the tablet are accept
able, the honor roll which stands in
front of the town hall will be torn
down and the bronze tablet with the
names of those who served during the
war placed near monument at the
corner of Pennington avenue and
Berlin street.
The present honor roll has caused
considerable comment about the town
and the step of the committee has
been heartily commended. 1t was
not known whether the comEittee
would vote to have tablet erected
or whether it would decide to have
the old roll repaired. 1t is the opin-
ion of several prominent residents
that the move made was the most
practical, as the tablet will last for
many years. while if the honor roll
was repaired it would be in need of
more repairs soon and would cost
more in the end than a memorial of
the kind chosen.
Names Wanted.
w. r. Moore will receive names of
all men or women who served during
the war whose names are not on the
present honor roll. All people Of the
town who know of such persons are
Moore at once.
The members of the Honor Roll
committee were selected at the town
meeting last fall. The members are
DIR. T. c. Hodgson, chairman; Thomas
w. Emerson, Ernest w. Mildrum,
James Mcpherson, Harry McKeon and |
w. K. Moore.
