Er.vv EIre. I,amt Month.

The report of Chief of the Fire De- nartment Blakely for the month or April shows that during that montn there were only four fires in the city and that the amount of damages ag- Sregated only $45. This is good record for the fire department Wnicn mas been installed for only few months.
 Two test alarms were sent in during the month. one for the uptown company and one for the company stationed in the eastern part of the city. The up town company ran three blocks ana laid A hundred feet of hose in forty two seconds, while the company in East Selma ran four blocks and laid a hundred feet of hose in fraction over forty-two seconds
 Many Building Permits Issued.
 That Selma Is growing every day citizens are well aware, but they have no idea how rapid Is the growth. A few years ago the average citizen could stand on a street corner and call the names of every person who passed. Today the private citizen hardly knows one out of five he meets.
 One of the best illustrations of the growth of the city Is the number of building permits issued each month from the office of Building Inspector Blakely During the month of April there were issued twenty eight permits. They are for buildings and improvements and in round figures amounts to $2O,501.
