$500 NEEDED
FOR new HOPE
FIRE ALARMS
Provides For Eight
Boxes
To the Citizens of New Hope.

To the Citizens of New Hope:
In former issue of this paper
stated that at later date | would
give an estimate of the cost of the
new proposed fire alarm system and
also any other information ! might
have.
AS yet, no survey has been made
to determine the location or the
number of fire alarm boxes required,
and until that is done it is a rather
difficult matter to figure the cost
when the number of boxes necessary
is unknown.
In order to give each section of
our Borough the proper protection,
it would be unwise to have the alarm
boxes so few in number or so located
that they will not be easily access
sible to the residents of the different
sections.
Personally, | do not see how
fewer number than eight boxes can
be used without placing certain parts
of our Borough in an unprotected
position.
The cost of installing eight boxes
with all the other apparatus in
cluded, will entail an expense of up
ward of $1500.00. A reduction in the
number of boxes will naturally re-
duce the cost, but will also lower the
efficiency of the system, which is
not desired if it can be avoided.
| wish to impress on you that if
the new system is installed, it will
! be permanent improvement, and
will be in service for years to come,
and while the first cost will be the
heaviest, the up-keep and mainten-
ance will be matters of minor inn
portane. | hope you will appreciate
the efforts being made to provide
the new fire alarm system, and that
you will respond financially as lib
orally as you can when the solicitors
call on you.
The motto of the Eagle Fire Com
pany is when Summoned, We
Obey" and no one can assert that
they have ever failed in that res
pect-always willing to respond
when call was given for them,
but how can we expect them to
respond at the present time when
there is no means Of calling them?
a There is still another side to the
auestiansJ How long win It be before
the fire underwriters add to your
present rates of insurance when they
learn that you have no means of
giving an alarm in case of fire?
feel this is condition in which
we are all concerned and each and
every one of us should do all in his
power to protect our town. May |
count on your cooperation in this
matter?

President of Council.

AVALANCH OF REBUKE FOR
BENNINGTON FIREMEN'S "PEEVE'

ing and getting instructions. But on
the other hand they were shunted off
in discourteous way.
1t has, been pointed out that per-
haps Mr.. Reardon's "peeve" dates
back to the days when he used to
umpire ball games for Pennington
Some of his decisions were challen-
ged bitterly as being biased, ara it
is understood that on several occas-
ions Lambertville rooters resented
some of his decisions so emphatically
that he was nearly mobbed SO it
is being concluded that he is giving
vent to some of his spleen when he
so discourteously treats Lambertville
firemen who left their warm homes
on a holiday in spirit of coopera-
ton to render aid where it was sore
ly needed.
Feeling is running high, not only
in Lambertville, but in outlying vii
lagos where citizens are still CRATE
full for responses made by Lam
bertville firemen when fires broke out
in their communities. In fact, feel
ng is so strong in some of these
places that residents who formerly
did their buying in Pennington are
saying that hereafter they will trade
OF their village stores or else go to
Lambertville. They point ont that il
the treatment given the lambert
vile firemen is typical of Fleming
tons hospitality that they don't want
any part of it.
The least that can be done is for
Pennington Borough Council to force
Reardon to apologize to the men,
bers of Union Fire Company and
then demand his resignation A man
who is so petty as to let personal
jealousies and "peeves" interfere
with his duty when his home town
is menaced by fire is too small a
man to be chief of its fire depart
ment. The time may come when
Pennington is faced with a confla-
grafton they cannot handle, and they
would welcome Lambertville Gre
men with tears of gratitude.
The Lambertville Department is
rated as the most thoroughly equip
ped in the State for community
of the same population. The person
mel of its four companies is made
up with a high moral of devotion
to duty and unselfishness in service
Their cooperation with New Hope is
typical of its helpfulness. For the
companies of both places respond to
every alarm in either New Hope OF
Lambertville. And the lasting graft.
tude of towns all up and down tho
Delaware Valley is the true menu.
ment to their services.
And when on a New Years day OF
holiday feasting these members OF
Union Company so unselfishly leave
their families and loved ones and PC
from warm houses into the winter
cold to render unselfish service to
be so insultingly treated, it smacls
of narrow mindedness and picayunish
pusilanimousness too contemplate
to be tolerated.
LONG LIVE THE LAMBERT
WILLIE FIREMEN!

POTTERY JOINS
RAIL RATE SUIT
Association Asks Railroads For Re.
duced Rates On Clay

Lambertville - The Lambertville
Pottery Company is party to a
complaint recently filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission to Sc
cure reduced rates on the transp9r-
tation of clay. The local Pottery is
member of the Ceramic Traffic
Association, which is composed Of
the leading pottery manufacturers in
New Jersey, and which is jointly be-
hind the fight just started to secure
the reductions.
The railroads named in the COM
plant are the Pennsylvania, Reading,
Observation-Disclosures & Western,
Lehigh Valley, New York & Long
Branch, Central of N. j. and the
Raritan River Railway. They are
asked not only to reduce the rate,
but the complaint also seeks repara-
tons for damages which have been
suffered because of the alleged I'M
reasonable rates.
The rate now paid on imported
china and ball clay from Philadel-
phia to Lambertville is 91ac per 100
pounds, of $l.90 per net ton. 1t is
charged that this rate, together with
the other rates now in force to
other potteries, is unlawful, since
they are relatively higher than the
rates on the same commodity from
North Atlantic ports to other pottery
manufacturing points in the Middle
West.
A sidelight on the situation was
given in letter from the Manufac-
turers and Merchants Taxation Lea
que by A. N. Chandler, chairman.
claims that this excessive rate repre-
sents state and local taxes that are
levied on the railroads by state
laws. The letter, which was sent to
the Ceramic Association, said in part:
THE Railroads made application to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to have these taxes included as
an operating cost and passed on TO
the shippers and passengers in in
creased rates. This request was
granted by the Commission, and
these taxes, therefore, are not being
paid by the Railroads, but are col
lected by them from shippers and
passengers for state and local treas
uries. Thus the railroads are mr.
official tax agency for the State Of
New Jersey in the collection from
manufacturers, farmers and citizens
some $15,000,000 per year. which is
the amount of state and local taxes
levied against the railroads by state
law"
AT any rate, pottery manufacturers
in this section find it hard to meet
competition with manufacturers in
other centers where the rate is pro
portionately lower. Although seem
ingly small matter when the rate
is considered for single ton, il mist
be remembered that in using mil
lions of tons annually, the amount
Of money involved reaches stagPer-
ing figures. And as the Lambert lille
Pottery Company is one of the prin-
riple industries here, its financial
welfare very materially affects the
welfare of Lambertville.

Free Tickets For
Electrical Exhibit
N. J. Power & Light Co. Takes Over
Washington Gas Co.

All customers of The New Jer-
sey Power & Light Company in
Lambertville, Stockton and surround
ing territory, are receiving tickets to
the Electrical Exposition, which is to
open at the Easton Armory, on Sat
urday, January 90 to continue to and
including Saturday, January 30th.
The exposition is to be held under
the auspices of the Pennsylvania Edi-
sen Company, an associate of the
local company.
Bands and orchestras have been
engaged to play at the exposition
each afternoon and evening, and
there will be many additional fea-
lures of entertainment.
The Pennsylvania Edison Company
and twenty electrical dealers of Eas-
ton and vicinity will have booths
to demonstrate the great develop
ment of electricity and appliances.
Valuable prizes are to be given away
daily with grand prize for the
week.
The Easton Armory is being bril-
liantly decorated for the exposition,
and the illumination at night will
be one of the striking features.
Radio enthusiasts who attend the
show will be greatly interested in
the displays which will show the
latest developments in this branch
of the electrical industry.
Another Interesting announcement
from the New Jersey Power and
Light Company is that they have
taken over the Washington, N. J..
Gas Company. The plant had been
independently operated for some
years, and had failed to develop
with the rest of the town. The new
management will improve and en-
large the service in keeping with
the efficiency of their electric SER
vice.
just short time ago the Com
pany took over the Boonton, N. j..
Gas Company. Lambertville, Stock
ton, Pennington and Hopewell would
be interested to have them acquire
the N. j. Northern Gas Company.
