Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-02-21
Proceeding Of Seni-Monthly
Session of the City Council,

pIGSlUluS anu A1uCt uCu AAoPPs
Mosher, Grover, Reinhart, Par
rott and Hooker present. After
the reading of the minutes by
Clerk c. M. Wise, and their con-
firmation without change, sever
al matters of minor Importance
were considered. Among them
a case of restitution which the
mayor was authorized to investi-
gate and relieve.
A proposition from H. c.
Mention, Postal Telegraph or
Bell Telephone 1ineman, to put
the fire alarm system in order
for $44.5O was read by the clerk.
Whereupon the Mayor ventur-
ed the opinion that the price was
too much. Aid. KIN PIP was will
ing to pay the price and moved
to accept the proposition. About
this time the chief of the fire de-
partment, w. c. Wilkerson ask
ed to be heard and insisted that
$44.5 was entirely too much for
the work. Alderman PARROT
agreed with him. Aid. Knapp,
realizing that his motion was not
likely to be sustained, withdrew
it. Aid. PARROTS, motion to re-
fer it to the fire committe
was sustained.
Mr.. Hugh Robinson represent
ing the American La France
Fire Engine Co., spoke at length |
(and often) on the merits of his
hose reels and other fire fighting
apparatus. He bad been treat
ing with the fire department and |
aldermen most of the day but
had somehow failed to get things
fixed just his way. His stuff
was high priced, evidently too
rich for the blood of the average
one horse town. He wanted
$1,000 for two hose-reels, would
not take a cent less, although he
generously proposed to donate
$4,000 to the fire department,
but the presumption is this
donation is contengeut on the
sale. Aid. Knapp advocated
one horse paid department.
with one man. Aid. Gro
YER did not think that time had ar.
rived for a paid department; did
not think that the city's treasury
was in condition to warrant the
expense at this time.
Citizen F. J. Hansen, who was
present, advocated the paid de-
partment, and fire chief Wilker-
ssh suggested that until the city
was prepared for the paid de-
partment, and in view of the
prospect of instituting the change
at an early date, that it would be
probably better to buy one reel
and such necessary appliances
as would be of value after the
paid department was organized.
At this point Alderman Hooker
moved that the whole matter be
referred to the fire committee
and chief of fire department, to
report at the next meeting of the
council. Aid. Knapp wanted the
sense of the council on the ques-
ton of a paid department, and
proposed a vote, which being TAX
en-, Aldermen Knapp, Mosher,
Reinhart and Hooker voted yea.
although some of them explained
their vote qualifying the propo-
sition to time and extent. Aid.
Grover voted no.
Mr.. r. ]. Hansen called the at
tention of the council to the small
accumulation of water about the
intersection of Main and Cypress
streets and asked that the streets
and sidewalks be filled in. Aid.
Y Grover vehemently objected to

Dyspepsia

Post-mortem statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that many
cases of consumption are due to the
uninterrupted progress u dyspepsia.
Especially is tbs true in cases
where the victim was predisposed to
tuberculosis.
Therefore the person who allows
Idyspeptic conditions to progress I'M
checked is contributing toward the
development of the most fatal dis
lease known to mankind.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
1.-THE brain - makes the victim thin,
haggard and sallow. The stomach,
unable to digest food, cannot supply
nourishment. When other diseases
come they enter unresisted.
