Deed Blocks The
NegC Canal Bridge

At the meeting of the Lambert
vile City Commissioners on Tuesday
several persons We're present on ac-
count of action by the board on the
new bridge over the canal at Bridge
street. Mayor Moonan explained
that no definite action will be taken
by the city authorities until it is
found out Just what effect the two
deeds held by the John V. c. Barber
Estate will have. These deeds state
that in the event the canal is closed
to navigation, the land occupied by
canal will revert to the Barber es-
tate. In that event, if the canal is
closed to navigation within the city
limits, Mr.. Barber could object to
water passing thru the property,
which would, according to the deeds,
revert to him.
The board inquired of the City
Clerk if the Lambertville Water
Company had acknowledged receipt
of two communications authorized
by the board on September %, 1928,
and August "a, 1928, these commune
cations asking the water company
whether or not they were in a posi-
ton to supply the Cottage Hill sec
ton with water for domestic Con-
sumption and for fire purposes. The
clerk said that no answer had been
received, and Commissioner Malloy
made a motion that unless an ans
wer is received by Tuesday, Novem-
Der 6, the board will take definite
action in the matter.
Bills amounting to S2,S1S.S0 were
ordered paid

that could not be disputed. Is there
such a shortage of material in the
Democratic party that a man who
blindly ran the county in debt and
wasted the eounty's money, as the
Board of Freeholders did when Will
liam Wean was member, that no
other candidate could have been
found for this important office?
Do the voters wish to return the
control of the county to the Pidcock,
Stout and Gebhardt crowd?
When the Republicans assumed
control of the board, their first bud
get in 1922 provided for deficiencies
and over-expenditure of $76666.00
and although advertisements were
placed in the papers asking for the
presentation of all outstanding bills,
many were suppressed, so that in
the 1923 budget an additional appro-
priation of Sl7,t1S had to be made
TO take care of previous over-expen-
ditures of appropriations. Under
Republican management the county
tax rate, Notwithstanding the ne
costly for paying back bills incurred
during Wean's time as Freebooter,
was reduced sixteen cents, and every
fair minded man will concede that
Freebooter John j. Horn, who has
been obliged to vote for appropri-
ations aggregating nearly $4,000
to pay old bills of former board,
is entitled to the opportunity Of
showing what he can do with the
tax rate when only the usual cur
rent appropriations are to be made.
Certainly, no private individual or
corporation would think of dismiss
sing an employee who had done as
well MS John j. Horn has done, nor
would he consider accomplishing and
honoring an individual or an organ
ization that had done as badly as
William b. Wean and the Democratic
organization. A voter should be
intelligent and sensible enough to
vote in his own interest and there
is no escape from the conclusion
that John J. Horn and Thomas B.
Hampton should be the successful
candidates on Tuesday.

VITAL ISSUES ARE RAISED IN
HUNTERDON COUNTY ELECTION
Republican Candidate For Freeholder Earns
Second Term By Accomplishments Dur
ing The Past Tsco Years He Served.
REPUBLICANS LOWERED TAX RATE

The campaign this Fall has been
unusually quiet in Hunterdon county.
Many of the voters do not realize
how exceedingly important it is to
elect the right candidates to the
important county offices. Some
voters vote their party tickets, AS
a matter of course, unless their at
tention is directed to reasons which
would justify an independent vote.
There are ample reasons why
every intelligent voter should sup
port Thomas B. Hampton, Repub-
hcan candidate for Sheriff, and John
j. Horn, the Republican candidate
Tor Freebooter, at the election next
Tuesday The reasons are not po-
litieal. but are based upon ordinary
common sense. The Sheriff is the
principal law enforcement officer of
the county, and this year the free
holder elected will cast the deciding
ballot in the control of our county
affairs. II cannot be denied that
conditions under William b. Wean.
as Il member of the Board of Free
holders, were the worst in the his
tory of the county, and that the
organization that selected him for
Freebooter now selects him for
Sheriff, and also is running Mr..
George N. Robinson. 1t is not a
question of whether or not you like
the Democratic candidates personally
but whether or not you wish to hon
or a man to the extent of electing
him Sheriff who has made such a
record as member of
the Board of Freeholders as William
b. Wean, and whether or not you
wish to place the control of the af-
fairs of Hunterdon County in the
hands of the Democratic organic
ltion that was responsible for the
condition in which the affairs of the
county degencrated.
Conditions were so bad that the
Justice of the Supreme Court called
he attention of the Grand Jury to
he official conduct of William b.
Wean, ms member of the Board of
Frooholders and the fnct that the
law had been violated was estab-
lshed by official records and figures

Historic Inn Vas
Damaged by Fire

General Greene Inn, at Bucking-
ham, was damaged by fire Sunday
night to the extent of come $500
The Inn proper was saved from the
flames, but the garage and ice house
adjoining were destroyed. The fire
was started by thieves who had
broken into the garage to secure
gasoline.
About II o'clock George Davis, Of
the Lahaska garage, was passing the
Inn and observed two men at the
garage door. One of them called
out excitedly that the place was ON
fire and that they had better beat
it. They jumped into waiting
automobile and disappeared before
they could be apprehended. They
were followed as far as Lahaska
but were lost there.
Harvey Crouthamel, proprietor Of
the Inn, and his wife, were in
Doylestown at the time. His auto
mobile was destroyed in the fire.
Fire companies responded from New
Hope, Lambertville, Doylestown,
Wycombe, Abingdon, Weldon and
other points. Their good work saved
the main buildings of the Inn. The
Eagle Company, Of New Hope, met
with an accident on the way, but
it was not serious.

it happens, even the faces of these
men are brown, completing the Jap
anese Illusion.
Hunterdon County, after doing its
full share for Japan, now turns to
the Roll Call through which to carry
on the regular work of the Red
Cross here at home. The reports ut
the annual meeting of the Chapter

the health work and needs of this
county; Paul Axtell told of the Jun
Tor Red Cross, mentioning especially
the five hundred cartons filled and
sent as Christmas gifts to children
overseas; G. l.. Fell gave the treas
urer's report, including the S5,55d.03
raised for Japan; Mrs. b. +. Dewey
stated that every call concerning ex-
service men had been answered.

MANUFACTURER STAKES $3.50
ON VALUE OF EMPIRE FIRE HOSE
c. Edscard Murray. Jr., offers Sum TO Lam
berfvHie Charity If His Product Fails to
Stand Up Under the Pressure Test.


Eureka man claimed that il was
just freak accident. requested
that they pick out at random, from
the Empire hose, any pieces that
they wanted and run them all up
till they burst. The one thousand
pounds was, of course much higher
than we had run the hose to in the
factory and we really did not know
what its limit was Nevertheless,
three more pieces of Empire hose
were selected and they were all run
up to thousand pounds pressure
and none of them burst.)
Since then we have sold large
quantities of hose not only to New
York and Philadelphia but to nearly
all the large cities in the United
States and many of the smaller
ones, and we regularly sell hose to
all departments of the United States
Government, including the Army
and Navy. We meet all of their
specifications, and have the reputa-
ton throughout the trade of making
the very highest possible quality
of not only hose, betting, packing
and all mechanical rubber goods, but
also tires and inner tubes.
There must be some strong in
centive for firemen to threaten
strike at the prospect of getting the
best hose that it is possible to make.
If there are any specific questions
that are not satisfactorily answered
in the discussion of the merits of
Empire hose as compared with the
other Makes, l would be only too
glad to answer them fully.
| would be glad to have any new
piece of Empire fire hose picked out
at random from the stock of the
New York or Philadelphia Fire De-
partments, tested alongside of the
hose that they bought, both pieces
to be run to bursting pressure, and
whichever piece bursts, the loser to
pay all of the expenses and $3.50 in
cash to some Lambertville charity.
Yours very sincerely,

Dear Mr.. Cooper:

was present personally at the
tests made in New York in 1913,
and the Eureka hose failed to with
stand the six hundred pounds burst
ing pressure required in their speci-
fications. Their representative made
apologies for the hose and asked
that another piece be put on for
test. This was not according to
Hoyle, but nevertheless, his intimacy
with the Fire Chief obtained this
consideration for him. The second
piece of hose did stand the six hun
bred pounds, when the representa-
tive asked the Chief to put the hose
on up until the piece burst--it only
went little above the six hundred
pounds when this happened.
The rest of us who were having
our double jacket hose tested for
the first time also, asked that our
hose be put up to the bursting point
Some of the double jacket hose went
as high as nine hundred pounds
before it burst, but the piece of
Empire hose tested went first to
six hundred, then gradually on up
to thousand, which was the limit
of the pump. 1t stayed chugging
away with the one thousand pounds
pressure for some time when the
