What would our people do if they
had no llN X and Ladder Truck to pro-
tcct their build ng5 in case of fire?
DO as they dore before they purchased
one-stand to one side and see the fire
burn. What would the citizens do if a
fire broke ont in our midst now? Go
ana try to pull the truck. Could they
bulge it2 No. WI n0tP Because
it Is sunk in the sand aboEt six inches.
Suppose they got horses and kilched to
it ara took it to the scene of the h.e,
would it be of any uscg No. Why
not? Because most of the buckets and
ladders are scattered here, there and
everywhere, and nobody knows where.
Why don't the citizens attend to the
matter and build a shed that will pro-
tect it from the weather. Give it up,
Suppose the truck stands there another
year and Il fire breaks out, what then
would be the resHlty The truck Wolld
fall to the grouud as soon as they
touch it, and thus would be the last Of

heavy burdens of the fat Of the land.
About fifty representing age, prime of
