~ TO THE PUBLIC.-AFTER MANY
years Of faithful service in your behalf the
CHARLESTON FIRE COMPANY finds Itself so In.
yolved that it has no course left hut to appeal to
the generosity Of the citizens OF Charleston, to
which the Fire Department has never yet turned
In vain.
For period of forty years serving as an En-
gIne Company, since the war this organization
has been changed to the Heck and Ladder
branch of the service, one no less important, yet
much harder, ss 1t involves the necessity OF at.
tending every fire, 40 matter In what District 1t
may occur.
But owing to the general depression, the mem.
bers OF The Company, while cheerfully and freely
contributing their time and labor, have had ittle
else to give, and the Company, depending almost
exclusively for support upon the pay received
from the city, has found this insufficient to meet
the expen. es incident to the purchase OF new
apparatus, and the maintaining OF the same In
O proper state Of efficiency.
Under these circumstances It has been reluc.
tantly determined to appeal to the public for aid
and assistance, and the following Committee will,
with tnat purpose, wait upon The citizens, with
the confident hope that those whom they serve
will not surer them to ask in vain:
COMMITTEE.

W. G. WOOD, JAMES HEFFRON.
The Hook and Ladder Companies OF this De.
partment are OF as much importance In time OF
fires as an Engine, and We are well satisfied their
psy does not meet their expenses. We very cheer
fully recommend this appeal to our generous conf
munity.
