The reader will notice that the coun-
Gil had adopted the plan of paying the
Fire Department members for attend
ancs at fires. The department turns the
annual state money, about $500, over to
the city. This plan is all right if prop
erly safeguanded, and it is understood
that the Fire department has adopted
rules whereby it will be impossible for
members to get their names on the list
for pay in instances where 'Aey did not
give full service, If these rules are
properly administered, the taxpayers
will have no reason to complain. Fire
men who give faithful service, like a
great majority Of the Dickinson mem
bers, are entitled to compensation.
The city has a contract with the owner
of the lot on which the fire we'll is To-
Gated in South Dickinson to pay the
taxes as rental for use of said property,
which explains the last item in the list of
