property owner In Greenville," said he,
"but would be willing to put his hand in
his pocket and contribute to an engine
fund"
Our school children are also in danger,
because there are no fire escapes on the
building" Messrs. Simpson, Cogan.
LembecK, Harvey, Morrell, Goldenhorn
and Grosklaus were appointed a commit
