aaked the question—

"What, in your opinion, is

Quick aa a flash the Chief whipped

out a plea for ample water supple, of the ordinary pressure, but water and more water to back it up, anu

more paid men on the force. "We have a fairly good depart-

mental equipment, but are handicapped by lack of men at the outstart of a fire. To the credit of the water company. In oo-operatloa, be It said that I believe they are doing everything In their power at this time to give us an adequate supply

Irving fitch. Mayor of Sea

Works Hardship on Farmers A news Item which appeared in one of the dally papers asks "when Is an auto a truck?” The State Vehicle Department contends any auto that u used for hauling any produet of farm or factory should hare a truck license. The State Police, since they are not so busy with'the summer traffic, are turning their attention to enforce this, and other, rag-

‘AUons.

A farmer named Schulti, of Shirely, was arrested by a State Trooper for running to the Daretown Station with a touring car carrying empty tntlk cans. He was fined 98.00 by Mayor Hltchner, at Elmer, a few

days ago.

There is scarcely a fanner in this county that does not at some time or another use hla touring ear to deliver a basket of produce, and return with feed ’or other supplies. Many of the county farmers have two or three ton trucks and are reluctant te uee them te saake e short run tor h an Mag a bag of feed, nr some other like product from the station. To date no fines have been n In Cape May County though a State Trooper haled a man before Justice
