Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma. Sept. 2S

Chief of Police Walters tells The Ad- vertiser that he is very much in favor of the city council taking action to employ a paid fire department He de- clared that the principal business block in the city was saved last Friday night only because the wind was blowing In the right direction.
 He praises the work of the volunteer company and believes that they are due a debt of gratitude by every citi- zen of Selma but believes that 1t Is high time for Sslma to afford more protection of the property owners of the city from fire by employing paid fire companies.
 It Is more than likely that Mayor Atkins will make some recommendation along this line at the next meeting of the city council. The matter was dis cussed at some length at the last meet ing of council when proposition was made to purchase new fire horses and there was some antagonism displayed by members of council to improving this branch of the city government. Chief Walker, of the fire department appeared before the council and urged that immediate action be taken to inn prove the fire department of the city by putting 1t upon the same level as departments in other cities of even less population than Selma.
