- The two Attleboros manage their fire
and water. department by the old fash
ioned district plan. North Attleboro dis
trict has settled its annual affairs. 1t
has an admirable water supply plant
which will be considerably extended and
its water Is very pure and good. Attic
boro district meeting will be held MAY 81,
and considerable interest is excited be-
cause. new water system is To be re-
ported and an increase of expenses in the
fire department asked. In the latter, new
hose, a new hook and ladder truck are
wanted and IL has been suggested that
more men be added. The department as
whole is in good condition, with good
men, but needs TO be brought up to the
growth of the town which has been quite
marked in the past few years. The lad
der truck was bought second hand, ten
years ago, for | think $500, and did very
we'll then, but IL is cumberson for long
distance travel and is deficient in its lad
der supply. This was notably so at the
late Mechanics mill fire. Now that the mill
is to be rebuilt and large factory erected
for r. j. Simmons & Co. The amount OF
valuable property is To he considerably
increased. The truck has cost in addi-
tion to original amount, aud would cost
considerably more to put it in anything
like the condition IL should be, which
cannot be thoroughly accomplished any
way. "A new trucK suited to our needs

In the water department a radical
change is to be made. While opinions

fcient In quantity. A committee which
has been at work for several months test

make its final report at the coming meet
