A good story. where the joke was on
the members of the old Milford fire
department, has just come to light. 1t
seems that in the olden days the hand
tub was kept in the same building
with the road machine. One night
during the absence from the city Of
Chief Longley, while Assistant Chief
Fred OConnell was in command,
there came an alarm from Bradley.
the husky fire ladies ran to the sta
ton and dragged what they supposed
was the hand tub towards the scene
of the fire. The thermometer regis
tered about degrees below zero and
the fire fighters ran hard to keep
warm. When in sight of the fire, the
big thing they were hauling got stuck
in a snow bank about three feet deep
and when they went to disengage it
they found to their CONSERVATION that
they had the road machine instead of
the hand tub. They cursed the
weather and each other but there was
nothing to do but hike back after the
hand tub. When they returned the
buildings were in ashes. So ended the
tale of the road machine and how it
became stuck in the snow near
Bradley.

in the family of her husband for
several generations. It's imprint is as

bill to prevent any printing shop from
readily duplicating them and it is
likely the inability of the government
to print scrip in a manner to prevent
cOnterfeiting made it necessary to
print upon this issue the terrifying
warning above noted, "To Counterfeit

stitutes at the present time a legal

that there was no one there, they said
that they had been sent by the COM

upstairs came in unexpectedly and
found them working on the wires The
telephone was in perfect order and she
ordered them out of the house. Later
