FREEHoLDERS FAIL TO ACT ON
BERTRAND CASE

j. v. Bertrand, of this city, the
man who, with his car, went into
the washout near Cookstown recent
ly, was before the Board of Free
holders for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what the county's position
might be concerning awarding him
damages for the loss of his auto at
the time.
1t has been the county's conten-
ton that Bertrand ran past a red
warning light and also over an OBJ
struction of trees in front OF the
washout, and on Friday Bertrand adj
mitted that he ran past red light,
but said it was mile from the wash
out and that there were no trees
across the road when he went into
the mammoth hole.
AS Bertrand's case has been plac-
ed in the hands of County Solicitor
Peacock and the latter being away
the Board was powerless to act.

Ford Gives Alarm
AtEdgewater Blaze

Fire which started in the garage
of Charles Moses, a well known
contractor, of Edgewater Park, des-
troyed a Ford touring car on We'd
nesday night at 1890. Joseph Adams
who lives near the garage was at
tracted by the blowing of an auto
mobile horn and upon looking out
of his window saw flames leaping
from the roof of the garage. After
calling the Beverly fire departments
he rescued two trucks and other
equipment from the burning build
ing.
Three minutes after the arrival of
the companies, two streams of water
was being sent into the burning
building, also three chemicals on a
double frame building which lies
adjacent to the garage.
The fire started by a short circuit
in the Ford car, which upon reach
ing the horn caused it to blow, thus
sounding the alarm. Some delay
was caused by a misunderstanding
of signals whereby PR locomo-
tive ran over two sections of hose
which were stretched across the
tracks, cutting them IN two.
