ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

The financial condition of the
Lenape Fire Company furnished
the subjectfor conversation in New
Castle last evening. BY November
/, the fire company will be indebted
to the Citizens Building and Loan
Association tine MAJOR portion OF
$1,000.
To those who heard OF this state
Of aft fairs yesterday it seemed but
fair that City Council should make
an annual appropriation. By the
want Of interest Of the tiremen aud
city bodies, the fire engine cost
several hundred dollars last year
for repairs. The ire company IS
needed here. Its services would
be valuable If the company was
properly organized. But the fire
faddles have no heart to become
interested when the citizens show
no interest. Should there be no fire
company here, the taxes would soar
the same as at present and the in.
surapce rates would cause the peo-
pie Of New Castle to open their eyes.
1t seems just at present that the
Trustees Of the Common and City
Council should take immediate steps
to help the fire company out OF its
present condition. The fire COM
pany should show a disposition to
become interested bv reorganlzing
under its charter Some OF the
citizens claim that the fire company
neglects annually tomake the, fina an
