the alarms in the days gone by.
Only three of the charter members
of Lincoln Hose Company are now in

FIRE RECORD
FOR THE YEAR.
Only About Half the Number of
Alarms This Year Compared
With Last.
PEOPLE MORE CAREFUL.
Chief Comings was in Charge of Twenty of
These Fires and Former Chief Had Five
Under His Care—None Were Serious
and Losses Have Been Light in this
City.
Since January, 1, 1903, until toriny.
the Perth Amboy Firo Department
has responded to twenty-five fires in
all. This is a great decrease over the
tires of 1902 When the department re
sponded to fifty-one alarms. The
town has grown considerably since
that time bnt the citizens seem to be
more carefnl. Twenty of the fires
have been under Chief ComingB, the
other five fires being under the former
Chief, Thomas Oliney.
MOW OTHER

At Camden Nearly $1,000 lias
Been Raised fora Chil

LOCAL HOSPITAL NEEDS
A fnnd started in Camden to raise
money for the Camden Home of
Friendless Children lias reached with
in $150 of $1,000. It is made up of
small contributions from the residents
of the city. Surely the people of
Camdeu do not think any more of
their home than the people of Perth
Amboy do of their hospital. If Cam
den can raise $1,000 to assist such an
institution. Perth Amboy ought to
raise $600 for her hospital. An appeal
is made to have the fnnd reach the
$100 mark by the first of the yenr.
Are you going to help do it? The
money will be used to build a recep
tion room and morgue.
The following is the list of contri
butions to the hospital fund to date:
