The result OF the hose reel race at Arc |
tic centre on the Fourth, is far from |
satisfactory to members OF the Fiskville |
fire department. The boys from Fiskville |
who hold the state record for such events, |
think that justice was not done them. |
They are satisfied they can easily defeat |
the cromptons In a contest OF this sort |
under fair play conditions. AS a matter |
of fact the Fiskville team did make the |
distance in less time that did their COM |
petitors. but the crowd that surged upon |
them when they were I'm the act OF break |
ing the coupling and attaching the nozzle. |
so hindered them that they lost a few |
seconds at the finish The Fiskville team |
Is anxious for an opportunity TO run |
against the Crompton team in con-
test. IL a satisfactory arrangement can !
be made.
