PROPOSITIONS SUBMITTED ARE MERITORIOUS Chief Pearsall Addresses Our Citizens Through Public Press on Their Merits E d itor Nassau Post. Believing that where propositions subm itted at village election are fully explained and the need shown, the taxpayers are always ready to stand by us, I would appreciate your assistĀ ance in giving publicity to the fire deĀ partm e n t propositions to be submit- year, and I do not believe the taxpayĀ ers w ant us to occupy quarters until they fall down upon us. Proposition No. 8 is for $4,000 for a tractor to haul our only steam fire engine. On this we can quote figures from our own experience with motor tractors. Where we hire horses to haul our apparatus $5 per call Is paid. ted at the village election this year, and of course no o w n er of horses will secure this number in days. tiie next few ter. I confess th a t, like Mr. Wallace and not yet having had even his advantage of formerly being on the village board, I would also be interested in an explanation as to how $12,000 was decided to be the amount necessary for street lighting. .If elected, our purpose is to get all available par- These are both approved by the fire council, the governing body of the fire departm ent. Proposition No. 7 calls for the raisĀ ing of $4,000 for the acquiring of necessary land and the erection of a house for Hose Company No. 3 (Bay- view ). John J. Randall Company has donated a strip of land on Bayview near Atlantic avenue for this, and it. has been thought wise to purchase an additional strip of 20 feet, although the gift was not conditioned upon this. When the proposition was subĀ m itter it was realized that the buildĀ ing was in bad condition, in fact, in worse condition than any other in the village, but it was not until a thorĀ ough exam ination was made on March 6 that we found it was really danĀ gerous, and th a t It probably would not stand for another year. Being on leased ground it was built upon posts, and lias been several times altered to provide for different apparatus, and the last time the floor was lowered so that it rested upon the ground. It Is now found th a t the floor beams have rotted away to such an extent th a t a reputable builder, eetu to repair the floor, reported th a t It could not be done except at the expense of raising the building. Considering th a t a simĀ ilar building, in better condition, the old Hose 1 house on Bedell street, sold on Feb, 19 for $160, the spending of any great am o u n t of money to repair this building hardly seems a good InĀ vestment. Any other argum ent seems needless. W ithout spending consider- abel money on it, the building would not house this company for another guarantee the service. W here we keep horses, as we have done for Hose 2 and are doing for Hose 1, we pay $60 per month. Hose 2 has had motor apparatus for over four months and the total cost of m aintenance has been $14.25, against $240 under the previous method. Truck 1 has been hauled by a tractor, very sim ilar to w h at is desired for Engine 1, since August, 1914, over 18 months, and during that time has left its quarters 97 times, 55 for a c tual fires. The acĀ tual running expense, tabulated by the writer, has been $82.09. Only figuring the 65 actual fire calls, the cost would have been $275 in that time, or at $60 per month, which is not exorbitant, $1,080, a saving of over one-fourth the cost of the apĀ paratus, which was $3,600. It is the practice in almost ail cities where steam fire engines are in good condiĀ tion to put tractors on them In prefĀ erence to discarding them for motor apparatus, and our steam er IS in good condition. In a very short time the council would have been forced to stable horses in the engine house at $60 per month, and so decided to subĀ mit to the taxpayers Proposition No. 8. I would be glad to answer any questions, verbally or In writing, for the inform ation of the taxpayers, reĀ lating to either of these two propoĀ sitions. T h anking you sincerely for your kind interest, I rem ain. Very respectfully yours, HOWARD E. PEARSALL. Chief of Fire Department. FELTON STEIN GETS REV. MR. SCHUMACHER AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev.

This is the largest verdict recovered In a personal Injury case In New York County and was secured for the plainĀ tiff by Moses Feltensteln of Freeport, L. I., with offices at 309 Broadway, New York City, who acted as trial counsel for the Injured client.. Lawry claimed that on the 6th of May, 1914, he was badly b u r n t by an explosion of. gas. He alleged negliĀ gence against the company In that the company perm itted the gas to accumĀ ulate in his w o rking place in violaĀ tion of the M ining Law, which diĀ rected that a sufficient quantity of air be introduced In the working place to sweep away all gases. The bottom of a lamp which Lawyās helpĀ er was carrying dropped out and this ignited the gaa. The company denied all liability and claimed th a t the acĀ cident happened as a result of Law ryās own negligence. The case attracted wide attention not only because of the am o u n t of the verdict, but because this was the first attem p t made by a Pennsylvania m iner to have the New York courts adm inister the Pennsylvania Laws.
