BETTER FIRE PROTECTION.
commissioners Will Purchase Com.
bination Wagon at Once.

Commissioner Macfarland today approved
the recommendation of Chief Engineer VIM.
L. Belt that combination chemical engine
and hose wagon be purchased Immediately
for the better protection of the northeast
ern section of the city from fire. The COM
bination engine and hose wagon will be in
stalled at No. 10 engine house
The authorities have decided to waive
competition in the purchase of this appara-
tus, In view of the urgent need of the same.
and they will inform the Amercan-La
France Fire Engine Company that they will
pay 1,S00 for the apparatus, similar to the
one the company is row building for the
District.
Chief Belt states that this additional
wagon is very badly needed in the north
east section of the city, in which No 10
company is located. This company. he
says, covers a territory which has an in
adequate water supply in many sections.
and a chemical wagon it is considered
would render invaluable service in this vi
cinity.

Veterans Union and of the Medal of

Attention. Democrats

In less than five weeks the election will be held
Tor President and Vice President ard the control
OF the House OF Representatives. The present con-
diu0ns bode success of the democratic If
united and enthusiastic efforts made.
1t Is apparent that to overcome the position of
the republican party intrenched in office and with
the financial advantages due to such position, the
legitimate campaign expenses of the democratic
party must of necessity be great.
Friends of democracy and citizens who desire
the election Of Alton b. Parker and Henry g.
Davis can In nowise give more substantial aid than
In financial assistance. l earnestly appeal to all
democrats in the District of Columbia TO make
such doDation to the cause they may be tble
TO do. BY doing they will have the satisfaction,
If successful. of knowing that they con-
trituted toward restoring the national government
to a harbor of safety and re-estabishing demo-
cratic principles which for many years aided
TO the healthy growth and prosperity Of the United
States.

ceived by me and proper receipts be given there
