 The Quinnipiac Hose, Hook and Lad ader company will hold it's annual meet ing at the engine house In the borough this evening. This company protects the people of Fair Haven East from the ravages of fire, to the best of it's ability but its apparatus is hardly equal to cope with such conflagration as that which burned up Jacksonville. They have a hook and ladder truck and two hose carriages and 1000 feet of hose, 800 feet having been procured the past year. They depend upon the hydrant pressure for the water, but above Lex ington avenue there is no water sup ply and the avenue is not thoroughly protected.

The company has a surplus in it's treasury, the reve- nue being raised from the monthly dues of 25 cents for each member, and the profit from dances held in the engine house. There are sixty members. The foreman is E. M. Allen; assistant fore man, Jacob Frolich secretary, Victor E. Wright; treasurer. Linus Bradley.
