| In this cclIum in the past we havs
printed several red-hot editorials. con.
corning our fire dept and stated to oul
selectmen the fact that our FIRE dept
amt whot 1t ort to be and amt been fol
some time past. There is at present
only FIVE FIRE buckets fit for use in the
dept and these is in the basement OF
the Town Hall full of frozen water
Besides this Brad Tucker, chief of the
FIRE dept, has went and twisted the key
to the lock ali up into a knot with a
screwdriver trying to open the, door
and can't bulge it,one way. or anuther.
Now the town has chance to inn
prove Its FIRE dept in the shape of a
hand FIRE engine, witch 1t can buy at the
Co. seat for $125.oo and is guaranteed
to throw worter 7o #. and three inches.
When you stop to. think how much fur

fiend without getting their whiskers
singed and their clothes all scorched up.
This hand engine has did good service
at the Co. seat and is to be sold be-
cause some of the boys want to git a
bigger engine to go to muster with in
sted of fighting fires. 1t takes erbout
20 men to work it and ennybuddy can
pump on it in zero weather without no
coat on and feel plenty warm. Hiram
Petersby told US erbout it and sed he
was agoing to bring it to the attensfion
of the selectmen.
We ask the respeekted citizens of
Bingville who own property whot would
be the result if awful FIRE would
break out in our midst without warn
ing some night erbout 2 A. NJ? Whot
could be done to it? The members of
the FIRE dept would run up and down
the streets and holler, but hollering
won't put out a fire Whot would
worter be carried to the FIRE in, suppos-
ing they was emmy water, witch they
amt. The town pump is froze up tight
ern bung and everybody knows that
them as wants worter to drink has got
to melt Use to get same.
With a hand engine reddy for AK
shion Brad Tucker could give orders to
chop down froze tip pump and put a
hose down the pump hole and pump all

If FIRE breaks out we will have repe-
tishion of the horrible holocaust witch
occurred two weeks ago last Satterday
night when Deacon Andrews hen house
caught FIRE while the Deacon was try
ing to ketch cheekhen with a candle
and burnt to the ground before his very
eyes and no insurance on same
Whot we need is up TO date fire de-
partment. This is not a theory but a
conditshion witch confronts us. Whot be
we going TO do erbout it, hey? Let the
town selectmen do their duty regard
less of criticism and if the town select
men won't do nothink then let the Board
of Health or somehuddy else take steps
to guard against the vissitashion of the
