The members of the Arlington Fire
company have received an invitation to
join the Cranston Volunteer Hose Co.
at the Riverpolnt muster on Memorial
day. The volunteers nave an engine
in view which II 1t proves satisfactory
may be ultimately purchased by the
company. II is intended TO have the
engine for the Riverpoint squirt and 10
have the two companies unite as one
body for the occasion.
1t is rumored that a unity OF the
Cranston volunteers and the Arlington
Hose company may be looked for In the
near future. II Is believed that jfsthe
companies do unite the rooms now
used by the volunteers will not be dis
pensed with, but will be retained for
the use of the members who reside in
the Spragueville am Bulltown districts.
The movement Is bked on with favor
by many or the resldents In both sec
tions. as II would cause general good
feeling between Arlington and Sprague-
Vile besides giving the district the
best equipped company In the town.
