CENTERVILLE.
The fremen are still very indignant
over the action of assistant engineer Had
dock, i'm removing the electric light
globes from the fire station, and from ap-
pearances troutle will ensue IL the lights
are not replaced. As the firemen are all
volunteers aud receive no compensation
for their work or ruined clothes, they
think that the taxpayers of the fire dis
trict should at least be willing 20 pay for
the lighting of the fire station, and that
the action of assistant engineer Had
dock, in removing the lights, although
he claims that he old so by the order Of
Chief Engineer Arnold, was altogether
too "prev GUS" The lights were put in
by the order of the purchasing commit
tee and not by the beard of engineers
and although that body might have
thought the bill for lighting the hose
house too large they had no power 20
take out the lights. The firemen claim
that the matter should have been settled
by the auditing and purchasing commit
tees and some of them say that unless the
Zig hts are put back that the company
will dishand. The electric light COM
pany's bill, which GREETED all of the
trouble, was much larger than usual
and the lights were taken out without a
proper Investigation. Upon learning OF the
trouble the superintendent Immediately
went over the fire districts account and
found that a mistake had been made In
the bill. This mistake was acknowledged
at the meeting OF the comp1ny Tuesday
evening and a corrected bill presented,
but the lights were not replaced. The
firemen are now fighting mad and await
ing developments.
