The fire committee of council visited
the different fire companies engine houses
yesterday, with a view of ascertaining the
needs of the companies. All are in good
condition in every respect, the members
taking pride in keeping their apparatus
in thorough order. Two things are now
needed, but there seems to be little pros
pect of either becoming a thing of the
near future. The FIRE department needs a
hook and ladder truck, and the Shawnee
company should have a new engine house.
The former can only be secured by de-
termined agitation of the question by the
united companies, if it can be obtained at
all, and the latter will only be built when
the present rickety structure falls to
pieces. The firemen receive no pay for
their services. and it seems but just that
they should have a respectable place of
assemblage.
