! At a recent meeting, Fire Chief
Ed Innes asked the council to make
an appropriation for the purpose of
buying additional apparatus for the
fire department. Last night a mot
ton prevailed ordering the fire and
| police committee to confer with the

needed and purchase the same. The
new apparatus will probably consist
of ladders, coats, boots and other ar
ticles now greatly needed by the de-
partment. The fire in the Currie

partment was handicapped by the
lack of much necessary apparatus
and petition was at once made to
the council asking for additional sup
plies.
