TIE New HOSE QUESTION. - At q
meeting of the Town Trustees, held about
a week age, a motion was made and car
ried directing the Clerk pro TEN, Mr.. w.
n. Hall, to order the officers of Yellow
Jacket Hose Company No. 2. to deliver
to Liberty Hose Company No. l three
hundred feet of the new hose. Mr.. Hall
gave q verbal order to Mr.. G. A. Hart,
Secretary of the former company. The
order has not been obeyed. which has
caused some dissatisfaction ON the part Of
the Board and considerable comment
among the fremen and outsiders. Mr..
Hart appeared before the Board last even
ing and asked their indulgence of o few
moments for him to makea statement con-
corning the matter. He said the rumor
had been industriously circulated that
Hose Company No. , had refused to de-
liver to Liberty Company No. l the three
hundred feet of hose in question. He de-
MED that any such order had been made
to Company No. 2. Mr.. Hall had made
an individual request of him to deliver
over the hose, but he, nor any other indi-
vidual, had any power in the premises.
Only the Company, as q body, at their
regular meeting, could so dispose Of it.
He had no doubt but that, when the re-
quest was properly made to the Company,
it would be acted upon, and such q dis
position would be made of the hose rs
would accord with the wishes Of the
Board. He also said that it had been re-
ported that Company No. 2 were not TAX
ing proper care of their hose. He de-
nounced such rumors as malicious and
false. The Company had hired a compe-
tent man to take care of, and oil the hose,
and had purchased oil for him to use for
that purpose. He presumed the man had
done his duty. Now we have NJ doubt
but that the hose has been properly cared
for by Company No. 2, but we have 10
more doubt that the notice given by MI.
Hall to the Secretary was amply sufficient
for the Company to have acted upon had
they felt 50 disposed. The town authori-
ties Endorsed the note of the Company to
pay for the full 1000 feet of hose, the
freight on the same. and for some other
purchases of the Company at San Fran
cisco. This they were bound to do by
pledges made to the Company by the old
Board. The present Board wished to pur-
chase 500 feet Of the hose for the town,
and have Company No. 2 take the other
500, but such arrangements could not be
arrived at, and the Board Endorsed the note
for the whole. They claim, however, that
the officers of No. . pledged themselves
at the time to deliver over to Libery Hose
Co. three hundred feet Of the hose when
requested by the Board to do so. The
company, if such was the understanding,
should do so with promptness. The
amount Of hose they have is more than
they actually need, while the other hose
company have only four hundred feet, not
enough to do good service with at a FIRE
away from Main street. If the company
make a stand against dividing the hose,
they evidently will be in the wrong.
