WANT FIRE PROTECTION.
There was a meeting of citizens at
Fireman's Hall on Tuesday night for
the purpose of considering ways and
means for improved facilities for fire
fighting in Hilo.
The concensus of opinion was that
the present company should dsband
and that new one be organized in it's
place. 1t was decided then that when
this was done a man should be pro-
vided with accommodations within the
engine house and it would be his duty
to look after the apparatus and see to
the ringing of the bell when an alarm
is turned in.
1t is deemed necessary that addi-
tional street hydrants be installed and
more hose procured. This matter will
be looked after by a committee COM
posed of Dr. Milton Rice. A. Fl. Jack
son and VIM Vannatta who will report
at a meeting to be held at the Fire
mans Hall next Tuesday night. This
is to be n public meeting and it is hop
ed that citizens will be present and en-
roll as members of the fire company
