WANT BETTER EQUIPMENT
raRE BOYS WILL make PROPOSE
TroN 70 TnE COUNCIL.
wm urge THAT Body 90 Help Place
Ror.es and Faremen I'm a Central


Members Of the Martinsburg fire de-
partment are agitating the proposi-
ton to place better fire equipment
in this city, and at the recent meet
ing a committee was appointed to APP
pear before the council and submit n
plan by which ii is hoped the equip
ment may be secured. The meeting
OF the firemen was a rather warm
one, and they decided to urge their
claims upon the council in the strong
est possible manner.
The proposition of the flremen VIII
embrace central fire house, horses TO
pull the apparatus to fires and several
paid firemen, who would be on duty
at all times. This matter has been
brought to the attention OF the coun-
ell by the firemen on one or two occa-
sions, but so far nothing has been
done. 1t is proposed to have special
meeting of the council, when the mat
ter may be explained in detail.
The firemen here say they have the
poorest equipment of any city In the
valley, and that they are exceedingly
tired of working with Anticipated ap-
paratus. They say they will bear the
expense of great part of the pre-
posed improvements, and will eI.
deavor to secure the cooperation oil
the council. Just when the special
meeting will be held is not known.

It now looks as though the peace
submission will soon arrive at some
definite conclusion, thus bringing the
Eastern war to speedy termination.
Each contending nation should sacri-
flee come of it's demands if by so do.
ing peace can be obtained. To pro
long the war would cost millions of
dollars, not mentioning the lives of
many thousands Of brave soldiers that
would be sacrificed upon the battle
field. 1t is t, be hoped, therefore,
that the time will soon come when
war will be settled by courts of arbi-
tration.
