 annual meeting which is held on the third Monday in May of 
 each year. The object of the Association is to provide and 
 maintain a Fund for the relief of sick and disabled Firemen, 
 their Widows and Orphans. This fund is acquired by money 
 collected by the Secretary of State from Fire Insurance 
 Companies doing business in this State, and divided equally 
 each year between all the Firemen's Relief Associations in the 
 State by the collection of 2 per cent, on the premiums of each 
 Fire Insurance Agent doing business in this city for foreign 
 Insurance Companies, the interest on the money invested by 
 the Association on bond and mortgage, and by donations. 
 The laws for the distribution of this fund are very strict, and 
 are promulgated and presented to the State Legislature for 
 passage by a specially designed committee from the State 
 Firemen's Relief Association, with headquarters at Trenton, 
 N. J. 
 
 A Board of Trustees composed of one member from each 
 company and from the Exempt Firemen's Association receive 
 and act upon all applications for relief. The following are 
 trustees at present : From Exempt Association, James O'Neill, 
 Engine Company 1 ; James McGrath, Engine Company 2 ; 
 Eugene Link, Engine Companj^ 3 ; Fred Geisler, Engine 4 ; 
 John Seibert, Engine 5 ; Engine 6, James P. Clark ; Hook & 
 Ladder Company 1, Alexander McCernan ; Hook & Ladder 
 Company 2, Thomas B. Hurley. James McGrath, President ; 
 Thomas B. Hurley, Secretary. Trustees have power to grant 
 one relief to any applicant during one year ; if additional relief 
 is applied for it must be referred to the Relief Association, and 
 upon their approval a second relief may be granted, but not 
 otherwise, also all applications granted must be approved by 
 the President of the Relief Association before payment — and

 all payments for relief are made by the Treasurer of the 
 Relief Association. 
 
 The present Association was organized April 17, 188C, in 
 compliance with a State law approved March 35, 1885, with 
 tlie following- officers: President, L. G. Neu ; Vice-President, 
 John Coonan ; Secretary, William Eckerson ; Treasurer, John 
 A. Cotay ; Collector, G. F. Denniston ; Attorney, John T. 
 Dunn ; Finance Committee, W. W. Russell, D. V. Sneller, and 
 John Coonan. The Finance Committee were empowered to 
 settle with the officers of the Old Board of Representatives 
 and Trustees and immediately proceeded to business, and after 
 very arduous labors succeeded in placing" everything- on a 
 sound business basis, which has continued up to the present 
 time ; and our Association has been complimented by the 
 officers of the State Association as having- the best invested 
 fund of any Association in the State. Great credit is due to 
 the labors of W. W. Russell as member of Finance Committee 
 and President of the Association, to John Coonan as member 
 of Finance Committee, to William McCormack as member of 
 Finance Committee since February 10, 1887, to John T. Dunn 
 and James C. Connolly for legal services and advice, and to all 
 other members of the Association who have always acted in 
 concert for the best interests of the Association. Ex-Collector 
 Daniel Fallon, 1893-93, has the honor of collecting- more money 
 on premiums than any collector up to date and deserves g-reat 
 credit for the energy he displayed in the performance of his 
 duties. The retaining of William Eckerson as Secretary since 
 the formation of the Association speaks well for the manner 
 in which he has performed his duties. The election of John 
 J. Gardner for the third consecutive term as President shows 
 that the members have full confidence in his abilities as a pre- 
 siding officer.

 The first step taken for the formation of a Relief Fund was 
 at a meeting- of representatives held at the house of Lafayette 
 Hook & Ladder Company, No. 1, June 19, 1863, upon the in- 
 vitation of Cliief Engineer J. L. D. Lyon. A temporary or- 
 ganization was formed with John N. Lewis Chairman, and 
 Wm. H. Loveland Secretary ; a Committee on By-Laws was 
 appointed and the meeting adjourned to meet at the house of 
 Osceola Hose Company, No. 2, on June 27. The adjourned 
 meeting was held on that date, a by-laws was reported and 
 adopted and the following- oflEicers elected: President, John N. 
 Lewis ; Vice-President, Lewis E. Montagle ; Secretary, 
 Matthias L. Darby ; Treasurer, Michael Kreig-. A motion as- 
 sessing each company $2.50 to procure books and establish a 
 fund was carried, and from this small beginning- was started 
 the nucleus of our present fund. On July 30, 1862, J. Augustus 
 Dix, Timothy Dixon and Chauncey Harris were elected Trus- 
 tees, and the formation of a complete organization for relief 
 was perfected, and was kept intact until April, 1886, when it 
 was merged into the present Association.

 To write the history of old Protection Co., No. 1, is almost 
 to write^ the history of the department. It was founded in 
 1837, with Ichabod Williams as foreman, and David Woodruff 
 as assistant. Among- their associates were such veterans as 
 David Sanderson, the first chief of the department ; Charles 
 Forsyth, Robert Cleveland, William B. Tucker, the father of 
 the hardware merchant, Joseph Cleveland, Adam Good, John 
 Drake and Nathaniel Tucker. Then the membership consisted 
 of the forty regulars allowed by city ordinance, and forty 
 volunteers. Its first machine was old " No. 38," which was 
 bought from the corporation yard of New York. When No. 
 3 was organized, the following- year, it passed to the new 
 company, and a Smith engine was bought. It was stored in 
 the old building on the site of the present County Clerk's 
 office, known as the "arsenal" or "cannon house." The

 Rolla Eng'ine Co., No. 2, has the distinction and honor of 
 being' one of the foremost companies in the Elizabeth Fire 
 Department. To its enterprise, push and desire to fully carry- 
 out its motto, "Rolla to the Rescue," it has always shown 
 great zeal in promoting new devices and means for the carry- 
 ing out of its work of protection from the fire fiend. 
 
 On April 24, 1838, Cataract No. 2 was organized in the bor- 
 ough and used old "No. 38," until a new Smith hand engine 
 was procured. Jacob G. Crane was the first foreman, with J. 
 M. Whitehead assistant, D. M. Crane secretary, and John 
 Chatterton treasurer, as associates. In 1845 the company took 
 part in the great fight between the fire department and the 
 borough council and was disbanded. A mass meeting of citi- 
 zens was called in 1852, and resolutions were adopted calling for 
 the re-organization of the department. A number of patriotic 
 and enthusiastic citizens met on Sept. 3, 1852, and re-organized 
 old Cataract company, adopting the new name of Rolla No. 2. 
 John Rommel was selected as the first foreman, with Elias P. 
 Whaley as assistant, G. W. Harris as secretary, and Geo. 
 W. Tubbs as treasurer. Among the early firemen of the com- 
 pany was ex-Alderman Thos. Tillou, who did much to advance 
 its efficiency. 
 
 The first house was situated on Morris avenue, and shortly 
 afterward the company was removed to West Grand street 
 next to Ryan's Hotel. This house was torn down to make

 room for the Pennsylvania railroad, and the present commo- 
 dious quarters were moved into on Sept. 16, 1886. In 1866 the 
 company procured the first steam fire engine ever used in 
 Elizabeth, and had it in active service for twenty-two years. 
 The "old vet" is now stored in the City Hall to be used in 
 case of necessity. The company furnished a number of vol- 
 unteers to the war of the Rebellion, some of whom lie buried 
 on the field of battle, while others valiantly fought through 
 the war and are held in high esteem by their fellow citizens. 
 The question of more rapidly answering an alarm of fire had 
 for some time been bothering the Rolla boys, and the difficulty 
 was finally solved by Engineer Wm. Schwartz. He proposed 
 the purchase of a team of horses and evolved a scheme where- 
 by they could be made self-supporting. Aided by the efficient 
 committee, Mr. Schwartz, ex-Chief Styler and the late fore- 
 man, N. G. Smith, the company and citizens at large had the 
 satisfaction of placing in their engine house on November 
 22, 1881, the first team of horses for fire duty. A new Amos- 
 keag engine was procured in 1888, which with the well appointed 
 engine house and stables, makes the company one of the best 
 equipped in the department. Not only has the company won 
 honors at home, but also abroad. In the parlor are valuable 
 mementoes, among them one from Parker Hose, No. 3, of 
 Meriden, Conn., presented in 1877 ; the old silver cup won at 
 the first agricultural fair ever held in New Jersey, 1885 ; one 
 from Morristown in 1885 ; handsome group pictures taken on 
 the company's famous visit to Gettysburg in 1885 ; silver 
 trumpets presented by citizens of Plainfield and Cranford for 
 assistance at great fires there ; the silver trumpet captured at 
 the Pennsylvania State Convention at Chester in 1890 ; silk 
 flag presented by Washington, No. 7, of Wilmington, in 1891, 
 and the silk banner captured at Hazelton, Pa., in 1892.

 Among the Chief Engineers hailing- from Rolla have been 
 Robert Caldwell, Col. C. A. Harris, Councilman John W. 
 Benjamin, Wm. Styler, Geo. Devlin and N. H. Astfalk. All 
 of these gentlemen are still livmg and are honored members 
 of the company. The company has five well-trained fire 
 horses and take great pride in their appearance and intelli- 
 gence. More fire alarm calls are answered than by any other 
 company, and all the modern attachments aad appliances are 
 used on the apparatus. The company holds the city record 
 on making steam, laying hose and throwing steam stream. 
 In its selection of officers the company has been unusually 
 fortunate. Joseph McCandless, its Foreman, has held the 
 position for three years past, and is one of the most popular 
 firemen in the department. He is ably assisted by T. H. 
 Winans, First Assistant ; Thos. Finley, Second Assistant ; P. C. 
 Link, Treasurer ; John Reitemeyer, Secretary ; Wm. Schwartz, 
 Engineer ; Geo. Luster, Fireman ; Jacob Swick and John

 Washington Engine Co. had its first organization back in 
 1841, when it fell heir to the old " No. 38 " of the New York 
 department, which had been successively the first engine 
 of Protection and Rolla. This remained in its possession un- 
 til about 1859, when a new machine was bought. Its first 
 house was on Prospect street near Ehzabeth avenue, then 
 Water street. Its first foreman was John McCord, who was 
 followed by Allen H. Grinstead. Among the earliest mem- 
 bers were Peter EUer, F. W. Schroeder, Christian Schwartz, 
 County Clerk Henry R. Cannon, and Alderman and City 
 Clerk Jacob Seiple. The company had a precarious existence 
 for some years and finally was disbanded. Nathaniel Tucker 
 was then paid the munificent salary of eighteen dollars per 
 annum to take charge of the machine. About 1856, Walter 
 F. Sayre, a member of the City Council, asked Tucker to or- 
 ganize another company so as to save the city the annual $18, 
 and he consented, provided Sayre, who was a carpenter, al- 
 lowed him to have his two apprentices, George W. Doty and 
 a boy named Yates. Three years later Tucker raised $400 by 
 subscription, and with the old engine thrown in '* to boot" 
 bought a new machine, which was used until 1868, when

 The company was disbanded in Dec, 1864, and reorganized in 
 March, 1865, with James Gartland as foreman. Among the 
 organizers and early members of the company were : Chris- 
 tian Schwartz, County Collector Sheridan, Patrick Dockerty, 
 A. Jacquillard, Peter Eller, F. W. Schroeder, diaries Salo- 
 mon, P. McGurgan, W. H. Reynolds, W. Eckerson, John

 Isaac VanHart. Among the prominent foremen were John 
 Fagen, who served three times, and Wm. H. Reynolds. Isaac 
 VanHart was chief, and Wm. H. Reynolds, P. J. Berry and 
 T. J. Ogden were assistants. Horses were bought in 1886. 
 Among the members of the old company were Allen H. 
 Grinstead, Christian Schwartz, Augustus D. Burnett, Joseph

 At the State Fair in 1873, in a contest between steamers at 
 water throwing powers, Washington won the gold medal. 
 There were three equal sized vats, and the steamers filled 
 these at equal distances, the one completing its task first be- 
 ing declared the winner. In the company's possession is also

 Red Jacket was organized Jan. 24, 1855, through the efforts 
 of Luther T. Hand and Jacob Seiple, then members of the 
 Common Council. City Clerk W. R. C. Coleman was elected 
 the first foreman, and was followed by Luther T. Hand. 
 Among the foundere were such well-known men as Col. Wil- 
 liam A. Morrell, Joseph W. Baker, C. A. Pountney, David 
 Walker, C. P. Taylor, A. H. Hopkins, Isaac VanHart, James 
 Wilson and John Baimbridge. The old hand engine was kept 
 first at the spoke factory, then at the rope-walk, then at a 
 blacksmith's shop on Fulton street, and finally in the present 
 quarters on First street. The company distingui5>hed itself 
 for gallantry at the great fire at the Cordage Works, where two 
 of its members were killed and another had his leg broken by 
 a falling wall. Before the present house was burned a large 
 weather vane, some three feet high, the image of Red Jacket 
 himself drawing his bow, surmounted the building. As the 
 flames roared and crackled about the effigy of the great chief, 
 a strong draft was created and the old fellow spun around, 
 and presented a weird sight, seeming to be fighting the fiery 
 elements as gallantly as were his namesakes on the ground 
 beneath. A Button steamer replaced the hand engine about 
 18G9, and horses were purchased in 1884. The company's next 
 groat fire was the rope-walk again. It had just received a 
 new Amoskeag steamer from the city to replace the old

 Button. The engine left the engine house March 18, at 1.20 
 p. m. and returned March 19, at 11 a. m., having been in ser- 
 vice about 32 hours. Tlie fire resulted in the complete destruc- 
 tion of the factory. 
 
 The company's rooms are furnislied with a pool table, 
 around which, in the evenings, collect the boys to play and 
 the old-timers to spin their yarns 01 the days gone-by. There 
 are many pictures on the walls, but none more valued than 
 that of the brave old chief, who gave the company its name. 
 A stuffed owl has also blinked at a long line of fire laddies. 
 The company has three horses and three wagons. The animals 
 are well trained, and have been hitched in six seconds. The 
 company was first in the city to run a horse to a hose cart, 
 wliich it purchased in 1885. Tiie company's present quarters 
 are in a very desirable location for its members, as there are 
 over 20 who live within two hundred feet of the bell. There 
 has been property bought for a new engine house to be built 
 this year on Elizabeth avenue, near Second street, which will 
 greatly embarrass the company. The present officers are :

 BUTTON ENGINE. ONE HOSE CART. 
 
 Hibernia Engine Co., No. 5, was organized on March 17, 
 1866, with Fehx McTamminy as its foreman, and hke other 
 companies its first machine was a hand engine. The popu- 
 larity of the company was well proven the same year in a 
 contest for a handsome silver trumpet, at the memorable fair 
 held in St. Patrick's parish, in which they won the prize. 
 That the company is still the possessor of the confidence of 
 the people is amply shown in numerous contests in which they 
 carry off prizes, such as sets of harness, bedroom suits, gold 
 and silver ferreled whips, watches, badges, gold headed canes, 
 several suits and pairs of rubber boots. In 1868 the city fur- 
 nished them with a steamer, with which many deeds of gal- 
 lantry and some of sorrow are associated, notably among 
 which is the death of John King, which occurred at a fire at 
 the Cross Roads in 1869. Of its fire record the public point 
 with pride to the rope-walk, Singer Works, Standard Oil 
 Works and B. & O. bridge fires, and in justice to the above 
 named companies it is but right to add that the fire services 
 were handsomely rewarded with checks, and from the Singer 
 Manufacturing Co. with a $500 horse. Chiefs Andrew O'Neill, 
 Edward Leonard, William J. Mahoney and Joseph O'Neill, 
 were from Hibernia. In 1887 the company purchased at their 
 own expense a team of horses the efficiency of which is ex- 
 celled by no team of fire horses in the State. Personal and 
 individual instances of pride to which the company point with 
 satisfaction is the position of its members in municipal affairs.

 engrossed sets of resolutions from local and other companies, 
 notable among them being one from Harmony Engine Co. No. 
 4, of Trenton, N. J. This company also presented the Hibernia 
 boys with their handsome brass fire bell, which did duty for 
 the ])eople of Trenton for half a century; and a set of resolu- 
 tions presented by the citizens of Lorraine in recognition of 
 the company's generosity in presenting them with a fire 
 alarm Feb. 23, 1893. Prominent m the company is their

 This is the baby of the department, and a Hvely infant it is, 
 too. It has not produced as many alderman and city officers 
 as the other companies, because as the boys say, "We don't 
 \iy/e in the right ward, but in fire matters we 'get there just 
 tlie same.'" And they do. This obstreperous child was born 
 at Keighry Head in October, 1868, and John Brosnahan was its 
 father. Its godfathers at its baptism were Daniel Devan, 
 foreman; Thomas Payton, first assistant; Patrick Burns, sec- 
 ond assistant; John Kelly, secretary, and John Dolber, treas- 
 urer. There were also present at the ceremony such well- 
 known citizens of the ward as John Carey, Lawrence Bau- 
 man and Michael Mulligan. The first machine was No. 4's old 
 hand engine, which was kept at Hall & Carlton's coal j^ard. 
 This they had for a j^ear and then took No. 3's old engine, 
 which was stored in the present house. The present Amos, 
 keag steamer was obtained in 1871. The horses were bought 
 in 1883, and are now the oldest fire team in the city, and the 
 boys claim, the fastest and best trained. On the walls of the 
 parlor is a handsomely engrossed set of resolutions from the 
 Passaic Steamer Guards, also an elaborate floral piece of im- 
 mortelles from the same source. A silk flag from Red Jacket 
 to Jefferson attests the friendship between the two companies; 
 as do two silver trumpets bearing date Oct. 8, 1875, from 
 Hibernia, No. 6, of New Brunswsck, attest Jefferson's popu- 
 larity. There is also a trumpet won by Patrick Lynch in a

 church fair popularity contest some eighteen years ago. 
 Although the company' is too young to have made itself an old- 
 time history like some of the more ancient ones, it has made a 
 name for itself in its battles with the fire fiend, in which no boys 
 have been more gallant or efficient than Jefl'erson's brave lads. 
 On the ball field its prowess is proved by many victories 
 over formidable opponents. The nine was organized in 1880 
 and existed until 1886. Among its crack players were Chief 
 McCabe, Jeremiah Bradley, Marvey Tenbrook, George Abbe, 
 Patrick Turlan, John Brady, M. Corcoran and L. Donohue. 
 Its matches with the Athletic Club nine for the city cham- 
 pionship will long be remembered as the hardest fought and 
 best played in the nistory of the game in Elizabeth. Jefl!er- 
 son has furnished four Chief Engineers of the department — 
 Michael Mulligan, Hugh Brosnahan, Thomas F. McCabe and 
 Joseph Brown, the present Chief. Five assistants have been 
 Jefferson men : P. J. Burns, Hugh Brosnalian, James Brad- 
 ley, Thomas F. McCabe and Thomas Seary. The present oflS-

 GLEASON & BAILEY TRUCK. TWO HORSES. 
 
 Lafayette Truck disputes with Engine No. 1 the honor of 
 being the first regular fire organization in Elizabeth. It was 
 formed on May 1, 1837, through the efforts of Col. James W. 
 Woodrutf, who was elected its first foreman. Protection 
 Engine Co., No. 1, was formed the same year, and it will be 
 prudent to let the old-timers fight out among themselves the 
 question of actual priority. Anyhow, at this time its appar- 
 atus consisted of a two-wheeled frame, similar to a painter's 
 ladder outfit, on which the ladders were placed, from which 
 hung the buckets, axes and hooks. There were no ropes, and 
 the boys caught on where and as best they could. With the 
 reorganization of the department in 1852, Col. J. W. Wood- 
 ruff was made Chief Engineer. Some years previous to this, 
 however, they got Jonathan Harrison, of Elizabeth, to build 
 them a " modern '' (forgive the word) truck. It was a heavy.

 unwieldy affair, and carried enormous sixty-foot ladders, 
 which took all the muscle of the big lot of big- fellows of the 
 company to raise. In 1856 this gave way to a new truck. 
 built by Pine & Hartshorne, of Harlem, the money for which 
 was advanced by J. L. D. Lyon. Gardiner Marsh made a 
 model of this truck. In 1870, another truck was purchased. 
 In the company's parlor there is a model of this truck in every 
 detail, made by Cliarles B. Keimig, an old member. The early 
 trucks were housed next to the Court House. Among the 
 organizers of the company were Archibald S. Woodruff, 
 Francis Sayre, Charles H. Ross, Col. J. D. Edwards and 
 Walter Sayre. The list of foremen includes some of the most 
 noted names of the city's history, among them : Henry M. 
 Baker, John O. Magie, E. P. Edwards, Dr. L. W. Oakley, 
 G. B. Whittlesy, President R. G. Rolston, of the Farmer's 
 Loan and Trust Company, of New York, Aime Dumazeaud, 
 Ezekiel Wade, Henry Kiggins, James Rollo, Rev. J. G. 
 Kettle, William Chetwood, John T. Gilchrist, Jonathan B. 
 Drake and William M. Oliver. Strange to relate, Thomas 
 Forsj^th and John Keron, afterward Sheriff and candidate for 
 Sheriff, were the first torch boys, in 1858. A complete set of 
 the hat "fronts" of J. L. D. Lyon the surviving veteran of 
 Lafayette, adorns the parlor. The inscriptions show his long 
 life of fire service, as follows : Joined Eagle Fire Engine Co., 
 No. 13, of New York, July 10, 1839; assistant foreman. May 
 13, 1846 ; joined Lafayette H. & L. No. 1, of Elizabeth, Nov. 
 1, 1853 ; assistant foreman, May 1, 1858; assistant engineer of 
 department. May 1, 1858, for two years ; chief engineer. May 
 1, 1860, for two years. Later on Lafayette furnished the de- 
 partment with a chief in Sheriff N. K. Thompson.

 fonnance it was annoimced that half the proceeds would be 
 given to the Orphan Asylum, which thus received by Lafay- 
 ette's generosity some $300. Among the trophies in possession 
 of the company is the old fire bell, which used to ring the 
 alarms from the North End school house. It has the inscrip- 
 tion, "A gift of Capt. David Lyon, 1789. Made by David 
 Ross, at Elizabethtown." There is also a bible from the ladies 
 of Trinity Church, and a pitcher, won by Lafayette's tug-of-

 GLEASON & BAILEY TRUCK. TWO HORSES. 
 
 Jackson is the successor to the old Empire Hook and Ladder 
 Co. The latter was disbanded June 10th, 1808, by order of 
 Common Council. Michael Doyle organized the present effi- 
 cient company between June 17th and 24th of the same j^ear. 
 The first officers were: Foreman, Bernard Duignan; First 
 Assistant, Michael Fury; Second Assistant, Patrick Tevlin; 
 Secretarj', John Kernan; Treasurer, Michael Doyle. After 
 the reorganization, there sprang up quite an animated feeling 
 between the new Jackson Co. and the old Empire boys, but 
 as time wore on, this feeling lessened, and it was considered 
 quite an honor at the Port to be enrolled as one of Jackson's 
 members. An Irish fox was presented to the boys by an ad- 
 mirer named Speiss. It became veiy tame and was allowed 
 the freedom of the house. One night, however, as Reynard 
 was sleeping, an alarm came in, and as the apparatus (?) left 
 the house, the rear wheel ended his earthly career. The fox 
 ^vas stufl'ed and now always occupies a conspicuous place on 
 the truck when on parade. A squirrel captured by Wm. 
 0"Neil from the mast of a burning vessel near the coal dock 
 has also been stuffed and retained as a memento of the occa- 
 sion. The prominence attained in the early days of this com- 
 pany has been maintained throughout the twenty-five years 
 of its existence. Bernard Duignan, Oliver Conlon, and Francis 
 O'Brian are among the chiefs elected from this company; 
 Jno. J. Holmes and Jno. H, Conway, assistants. Many of its 
 former and present members have attained honors in the 
 political field, with credit to themselves as well as to the com-

 pany and community. Edward F. Wlialcn, a popular and 
 enterprising- young- man who was recently selected by Post- 
 master Sheridan as letter carrier, hails from this company. 
 The fireman's poet and song writer, Tommy Lane, whose songs 
 were the edification of every fireman, are still sung with great 
 " iclat " by members of the department. This gentleman was 
 a member of the Jacksons, and his name has gone upon the 
 Exempts' roll with honorable mention. In February, 1893, 
 after 30 years of service, the old hay wagon truck was re- 
 placed by a new Gleason & Bailey's latest improved patent. 
 Since Foreman Conway's introduction into office he has con- 
 ducted monthly drills, which have enabled the members to 
 obtain a degree of proficiency equal to any paid department. 
 Only six out of the thirty-one who organized the company are 
 now residents of this city, and only twelve are living. Twenty- 
 five years' active service as a volunteer fire department is 
 Jackson's record, and undoubtedly, in one-fith of that time to 
 come, the volunteer days will be over. We will then deplore 
 tlie days now long past, when we **ran with the machme," 
 and took our foreman's orders through a big brass-plated 
 trumpet.

 TO OUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS. 
 
 The Firemen's Relief Association of the City of 
 Elizabeth, in presenting their Official Fire Alarm and 
 Street Directory for the first time to the citizens of our 
 city, do so with the firm belief that it will supply the 
 demand which has for some time existed for a guide of 
 its kind. The station and location of the alarm boxes 
 and the apparatus responding to the difierent alarms, 
 will, when the alarm is sounded, be found a ready 
 reference. 
 
 The complete street directory, together with the 
 postal information, will make a valuable hand-book for 
 all to possess. The map of the city being copyrighted 
 we were unable to furnish it. This book is not a his- 
 tory of our Fire Department, yet every company in the 
 city has had something to say about themselves on the 
 preceding pages. A society such as ours is not only 
 necsesary, but imperative, in a volunteer department; 
 and those whose names and business appear in this book 
 have our hearty and sincere thanks. 
 
 We love the service, and our citizens, one and all, 
 may be assured that our best efforts will be theirs 
 whenever we hear the alarm rung in. 
 Respectfully, 
 
 Firemen's Rei^ief Association.

 DON'T ! 
 
 DON'T allow stoves or heaters on your premises which are not securely set 
 
 on stone, cemented brick, or metal, and be sure that all wood work 
 
 near the stoves or pipes is carefully protected with metal. 
 DON'T allow any loose-jointed peas brackets on your premises, which could 
 
 be swung against wood work, or any gas brackets without wire 
 
 screens, or globes, if hay, straw, light materials, or window curtains 
 
 are near them. 
 DONT allow electric lights or wires on your premises which are not prop- 
 erly protected. 
 DON'T allow steam pipes to be in contact with inflammable material. 
 DON'T allow any kerosene oil lamps to be filled after dark. Filling lamps 
 
 near a fire is dangerous. 
 DON'T forget to keep the lamps filled, and wicks in good order. When the 
 
 oil is low it generates gas which is liable to explode. 
 DON'T allow benzine, gasoline, naphtha or explosives in your place. Your 
 
 insurance policy prohibits it. 
 DON'T allow ashes to be put in a wooden box or barrel in your building. 
 
 Always have an iron ash can. 
 DON'T allow any oily waste or rags to be thrown on the floor, but only in a 
 
 metal can with cover, and have them taken out of the building every 
 
 night ; they are self -igniting. 
 DON'T allow any greasy or oily rags or papers to be mixed up with clean 
 
 clippings' or a larger amount of clippings to remain in your place 
 
 (even if clean and in bales) than is absolutely unavoidable. 
 DON'T allow sawdust to be used on floors or in spittoons. It causes many 
 
 flres ignited by cigar stumps or cigarettes. 
 DON'T allow sawdust to be used for catching oil drippings from machines, 
 
 or elevator gearing. Sand is safe. 
 DON'T allow matches to be kept loose, or in paper boxes, but only in metal 
 
 or earthen safes. Those lighting only on the box are safest. 
 DON'T allow smoking on your premises, where any combustible goods or 
 
 materials are used. 
 DON'T fail to have your fire buckets filled, and test hose and fire appliances 
 
 from time to time. 
 DON'T allow your stairs or hallways to be blocked up, or used for storage ; 
 or rubbish, hay, straw, etc., to accumulate, or remain on your premises. 
 
 DON'T fail to have all elevators or hoistways provided with good trap-doors 
 
 or hatches, and have these shut at night. 
 DON'T forget to close your iron shutters at night. 
 DON'T forget that neglect and carelessness are the cause of more fires than 
 
 all other things, and enforce rules to guard against them.
