mirut Mr.. Beall, the chairman
said this committee represented the
active and honorary membership OF
the Fire Department., who are now max
ing preparations for the annual con
vention of the State volunteer fire,
mems ASSOCIATION, to be held here next
June. This committee, together with
a very large number of the citizens,
are earnestly at work to make the
demonstration the greatest ever held
in this locality. One of the many cry
interesting features now in prepare
ton by the different committees will
be the firemen's parade. This, he said,
would be grand affair, and as
thousands of visiting firemen are ex-
pected to participate, this committee
had come to request Council to have
the streets which the great parade
will traverse put III proper con-
dition. He said he felt sure Council
was interested in the matter and
would see its way to do all that
is possible to make the convention
grand success. By having the
streets in good condition at that time
it would reflect credit on the Council,
the town, and at the same time assist
the firemen, who had, time and time
again, risked their lives and sacrificed
their comfort for the protection of the
town.
