manner to Manager Richard w. Crook

MORE CASH FOR
THE WATER WITCH
Ordinance Increasing APPro
priation of That Company
Passed by Council
OTHERS AFTER ADDITIONAL MONEY

City Council last night passed an
ordinance increasing the appropriation
of Water Witch Fire Company from
S4 900 to $4,000 annually. Following
action upon this matter Councilman
willis, from the First ward, introduced
a resolution which provides for the in
crease of the appropriations Of the
Fame and Friendship Fire Companies,
from $500 to s45OO annually. After be-
ling read it was upon motion Of Mr..
Willis, ordered filed.
Both companies use the old style reel
hose cart and they desire to replace
these antequated apparatus with the
more modern combination chemical and
hose wagons. BY doing this the addi-
tional expense of employing another
driver and the purchase and maintain
ance of an additional horse would de-
volve upon each organization.
WAIVER WITCH AFFAIRS.
Before taking action on the increased
appropriation for the Water Witch
! Company. there was some discussion as
to the financial needs of that Organi-
zation. Mr.. McCafferty. of the Tenth
Ward, said that he had refused to sign
the report favOring the additional APP
lpropriation for one reason. He said he
could not understand how the Water
Witch Company in the cOurseof eleven
years had acquired property to the ex-
tent of $4,000. He understood that there
was at present an indebtedness against
the company's S25. 900 property of $1,000
and he wanted 20 know how the organi-
zation had paid off this much in eleven
years if it wasn't through the apprO-
priation received from the city.
Councilman Taylor Of the Seventh
> Ward said he could not answer Mr.
McCafferty's question, but he did know
. that the company was running behinf
every year. He suggested that th'
president of the organization, Edwars
f. Kane. who was present, be calleS
upon to make an explanation. and upol
motion of Mr. McCanerty, the forme
was given permission Of the floor.
. MR.. KANE MAKES EXPLANATION
Mr.. Kane declared no company coul
get along with an appropriation o
$4,000 a year and pay its debts honestl
- or pay them at all. He said the reaso
