TYPHOID FEVER OUTBREAK
STUDIED BY STATE HEALTH

The outbreak of typhoid fever oc-
curing in December in northern of
New Jersey is analysed in report
issued by the State Depart
ment of the State Board of
Health today. Commenting on this
report DR.. Henry B. Costill, Director
of Health said. "Up to November /,
the indications were that new low
record for typhoid fever cases in
New Jersey would be made during
the month of November but beginn-
ing with the first week in December
a marked rise occurred in northern
New Jersey at time when the num-
mber of cases ordinarily would have
reduced.
During the month of December,
1923, there were only forty-six cases
of typhoid fever reported through
out the State whereas in December
1924 there were one numbered and
twenty-four cases reported an in
crese of 1859 per cent. This increase
occurred mainly in five counties in
the metropolitan area, Essex, Hud-
son, Bergen, Union, and Passaic. In
the remaining sixteen counties of the
State, there were only seven more
cases reported during the month of
December of this year than during
the same month last yearl In the
metropolitan area practically all the
cases occurred in persons over
twenty-one years of age, whereas in
the rest of the State only about half
the persons were of that age.

Big Turnout AT
Firemen's Meeting
Mayor William B. iCramer Cautions
His Brother Firemen.

More than thirty fire companies
were represented at the monthly
meeting of the Burlington County
Fireman's Association which was held
in the fire house of the Delran Fine
Company, Bridgeboro, on Wednesday
night. The session was in charge of
David A. Brotherton, of the Endeav-
or Company, of Burlington, president
of the organization.
Previous to the opening of bust
ness session an interesting demon
stration of a lungmotor was given by
Jules Gigon, of Philadelphia. A sim
liar demonstration was given by Mr..
Gigon in Burlington, some weeks ago.
The simplicity of the machine was
brought out in the demonstration and
it was shown that anybody may OPP
crate it and without the least danger
to the subject. A rubber figure was
used to show that only certain
amount of air may be pumped into
the lungs. The lungmotor is con-
structed with an automatic valve that
opens and throws off excessive air
through what is known as bypass.
Mr.. Gigon explained the advantage
of the lungmotor and what it was
capable of doing as he went along.
He also pictured its Importance to
every fire department where there is
danger of being overcome by smoke.
The firemen were not little Impress
ed with the demonstration.
The address of welcome was made
by Anderson Bell, superintendent of
schools in Dslran Township. He re-
ferred to the great work that is done
by the members of the several fire
companies in Burlington County and
told how glad the people of Bridge
boro were to entertain them.
Evan Benners, of Moorestown, a
member of the board Of managers of
the State Firemen's Home at Boon
ton, gave a report of the work that
was being done at that institution.
He said the number of guests had in
creased from twenty-five to forty
three, and that an excellent Christ
mas entertainment had been given
them by the members of a womans
organization in Boonton.
In his talk to the fremen, Mayor
William B. Cramer, of Beverly, rev.
deviated from the path of fire for a
moment and took up the subject of
executive duty. He warned those
present not to attempt to drive thru
Beverly with fire apparatus or any
other kind of an automobile minus
headlights of taillights. He said that
it was his duty to enforce the law
and while he hated to take the money
from his brother firemen he would
be forced to do it.
Exploding fire extinguishers came
up for discussion at the meeting. The
fatal accident that happened to a
Camden man few days ago caused
the subject to be introduced In the
tally that was given it was urged that
every attention be given the condi-
ton of the extinguishers and care
taken that they are kept clean. Some
times, it is said, the bi-carbonate of
soda causes corrosion.
At the conclusion of the meeting
the members of the association were
entertained by the Delran Company.
The next meeting of the associa-
ton will be held in the fire house of
the Good Intent Company, Mount
Holly ON Wednesday night, February
18th.

Dear Editor


Dear Editor
In your issue of the 18th, you had
an article headed, dead Horses start
Argument" in which a paragraph
asks certain questions regarding the
Township. The nswer is that we are
paying for this sort of thing for the
SINE reason tht We pay for improving
a street, placing additional lights and
give police and fire protection to a
school our children cannot attend
nor, are we apparently allowed to
tax. This school saving them a large
bond issue for a new school. This
answer to your question seem plain
enough.

Eleven Directors
For Tacony Ferry
May Move From Present Location To
Eight Mile Point

The annual meeting of the Tacony-
Palmyra Ferry Company, held Thurs
day afternoon, January Is, was en-
livened by many encounters between
Charles A. Wright and his supporters
and those who are opposed to him,
One of the chief causes of differ
ence of opinion was the proposal to
move the ferry slip on the Jersey
side from its present location to
Eight Mile Point, one half mile down
the river. Mr.. Wright was in favor Of
making the change because it would
shorten the route to be travelled by
the ferry boats from 1890 feet to
1000 feet per trip, thus enabling the
boats to make greater number of
trips at no greater cost in fact at a
saving of $4,000 a year for coal a.
lone.
Opponents of the plan pleaded that
the company was now making money
and it was better to let we'll enough
alone. The opposition also made use
of the fact that Mr.. Wright and some
of his associates had purchased land
where the proposed new ferry slip
would be located and land adjacent
to it, in the hope of making a good
thing of it in the change in location
of the ferry terminal on this side of
the river would be brought about.
With three issues before them
"a To move the ferry to Eight Mile
Point; (2) For the Ferry Company to
build its own terminal and pay rem
tai of 81 year for landing privil-
eyes to the Palmyra Realty Company
90 To have the Realty Company
erect terminal for which the Ferry
Company would pay yearly rental
of $4,000 and with pretty accurate
knowledge of how the various candi-
dates for membership in the Board of
Directors stood in these various mat
tiers, the stockholders then proceeded
to vote.
Before the balloting began William
A. Welsh, offered resolution that
the number of the board of directors
be reduced from 81 to IL.
George D. Steedle, then placed in
nomination the following ticket for
directors to serve for one year: John
H. Sinex, Andrew Peoples, E. l..
Williams, Charles A. Wright, William
D. Roland, Morgan II. Thomas, r. M.
Hollingshead, Charles L. Asam, Sam
uel S. Daniels, Armitt H. Choate and
William A. Welsh.
When the tellers reported, it was
announced by the chair that the reso-
luton amending the Bylaws was
carried, and the above-named gentle
men were elected.
1t is understood that the election
of board of directors favorable to
Mr. Wright greatly improves the
prospect of moving the ferry to
Eight Mile Point.
When it was proposed to start a
bus line as feeder to the ferry, the
same opposition was encountered and
Mr. Wright, almost single-handed Sc
cured a guarantee of 250 passengers
day for George D. Steedle, who, on
the strength of that surety, started a
bus line running from Riverside to the
Frankford l. on the Pennsylvania
side.
BY this means it was possible for
passengers to get on the bus on this
side, and not change again until they
reached the elevated across the river.
After operating three months there
was not single day when he did
not carry more than his quota of
passengers. He started with one bus.
He is now operating seven and has
two more ready to place in service.
