The new hook and ladder truck and
chemical engine for the Memphis fire de-
partmont arrived yesterday afternoon over
the Louisville & Nashville railroad. The
machines came from the Chicago Ex-
tinguisher company, and are of the very
latest improved pattern. They were first
pulled by spirited horses around 10 tho
Taxing District headquarters, where Pres
iden: lIadden and his Office attaches in
spected and complimented them, after
which they were taken to engine house
No. |, corner OF Second and Adams streets.
The city is out about $4,000 on the addi-
tons, but the money has been well spent
Driver James Dunn, who has handled the
ribbons for the Babcock ever since il was
introduced, has been recognized in the
naming OF the new, and his picture and
name ornament its front. The compli-
ment is a well-mcrited one, as Mr.. Dunn
has been most faithful and efficient mem
Der OF the department during and since
old volunteer days. The boys were as
proud OF the new machines as boy with
his first pair OF brass-tippcd boots. The
old hook and ladder truck and Babcock
will probably be transferred TO Chelsea, and
the new ones take their present stations.
