Fire Company No. l Is up In arms. 1t ia
their Intention to have the city furnish them
with a team of horses and q suitable hose |
wagon, or withdraw from service. The fire |
at Mrs, Billiards. last week settled the matter |
with them. Thev are getting tired of running
themselves half TO death and then when they |
get to q fire being SO tired that they are unable
to do effective work. And we don't blame
them. The writer knows whereof he speaks.
He once attempted to make a run with The
East Lexington company to q fire at the ex-
treme southwest end of RIdgeway. As yet
he has never gotten to the fire. He fell by the
wayslde and gasped for breath. How ON
earth the hoys manage to make these long
runs time and again and drag u hose reel and
five hundred feet of hose with them Is now a
mystery to him. Last Saturday night and
again Monday afternoon the company se.ured
"a team from Mr.. Jno. C. Young and made
trial runs 10 the water rlug In from Of the
burnt re sidence of Mrs. Ballard ON Sixteenth
street. The distance from the station to the
plug is eleven hundred yards and on the first
trial. which was after dark, the distance was
covered and wIter thrown In three minutes
and one half. Monday afternoon this record
was lowered nearly 20 seconds. The fire
boys get no pay for the services rendered
with the exception OF having their poll tax
which is only 81 per year for each
man, and three times this amount is yearly
expended by each man for little things they
need AID which they do not desire to 70
before the council to have paid. We would
suggest to the fire boys that they give the
eight members of the city council the full
privilege of taking the hose cart and making
a run with II before they present their peti-
ton to them. Eight is about the average

hose cart to the places needed, and the tes,
Will be a fair one. You made the record
with the horses, now let them run against 1t
On foot, and we will wager a new hat that
they will agree with you that you need the
horses, whether they Civ, them to you or not,

means, do SO.
