ACTION ON STREET LIGHTS
DEMANDED BY SO. AMBOY
SOUTH AMBOY, Feb. 23—Just
wbut action is needed in order to
make the Monmouth Lighting Com*
i pany come to terms in the matter
I of caring for lighting facilities
] throughout the ity and immediate
action on application for service h>
the company, seems to baffle the
council.
At the present time the lighting
company is without a contract with
this city. With or without a con
tract complaints have been receiv
ed from subscribers and property
• owners where street lights have been
Unit for want of Attention. The mat
J ter was again brought before the
city fathers last night by Council
man Pisbrow, who said:
“There must be some way to penal
ize this company for violations. I
suggest the employment of stringent
methods with this company which
continually disregards all laws. 1
want at this time to bring to the
attention of this body, cases where
l can safely say, the light has not
been lit for six months, and the
property owners need this little pro
tection, especially where there is no
police.” Continuing, Mr. Pisbrow
said:
“I work with a corporation when*
a breach of contract is enforced.
Why this city cannot make the light
ing company live up to an agreement
is beyond me.”
Tt was Acting Mayor Stanton who
advised the council that there was
no contract with the lighting com
pany at the present time. He also
acquainted the body with complaints
lie had received of late where prop
erty owners have held up with light
ing improvements even though they
had paid their fee for such service.
Councilman Pisbrow i? at the
present time preparing for the con
sideration of the committee of lights
a system which may be used to ad
vantage in this city. It is likely that
the plans will be presented to the
council at the next regular meeting.
FIRE DESTROYS HOME OF
PATROLMAN CROSSEN
TOTTENVILLE, Feb. 23:—All oil
etove in tho kitchen of the home ot
i?atro$nan Charles Crossen, of 554 0
Arthur Kill road, Huguenot Park,
caused a lire that totally destroyed
the two-story frame dwelling about
1:50 o’clock yesterday morning.
Patrolman Crossen was off duty at
the time and was the only one at
home, his wife and child being in
Manhattan. They were at the Hip
podrome and and were expected
home on the train leaving from
Manhattan at 1 o’clock.
Patrolman Crossen. who had just
gone off duty, was preparing some
lunch for himself when in some
manner it is said the stove caught
lire and in trying to extinguish the
blaze the oil tank turned over and
spread the flames. He fought the
Hames and then ran out to give the
alarm when it got the best of him.
He pulled the alarm box nearby
and then went to the house of
Huguenot Kngino Company, the
volunteer company at that place,
and helped pull the hose cart to the
scene. When the lire men arrived
with the engine the interior ot the
house was a mass of flames. The
house with its contents were totally
destroyed. The loss to the house is
estimated at $5,000 and to the con
tents about $2,000. It was insured.
