THE JEFFERSON CITY FIRE DE-
PARTMENT.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
The statements published in last Satur-
days issue of the Louisiana State Register,
concerning the Fire Department, is not cor.
rect.
The City of Jefferson did appropriate the
sum of $4,000 to the association for the year
1869, and Mayor Kreider entered into a con.
the fifteenth day of April, for the extinguish-
ment of fires for said amount until the
thirty-trst day of December, 1869.
This can be relied upon as correct, for by
referring to the ordinance book now in pos
session of the authorities at the City Hall,
it will be perceived that the resolution ap-
prOpriating the above amount was adopted
by the Council ON the twenty-ninth' day OF
March, and the amount, $4,000, drawn by
the Board of Commissioners on the twenty
first day of April, 1862
Mr. Finley has the contract now in his
possession, and the editor of the Register
can not substantiate his assertion that no
appropriation was made.
The Council of the late City of Jefferson
also appropriated $500 to the association
for the half year of 1868, the association
organizing on the thirty-first of March that
year.
Pioneer No still belongs to the associ-
alton.
The amount asked for by the association,
$500, for the support of the four compa-
MES, is very reasonable, and Mr.. Finley,
after investigating the assertions made
through the columns of the Register, will
undoubtedly report favorably upon the
petition.
The Fire Department is valuable insti-
tuition, and should be sustained by the city
government. SIXTH DISTRICT.
