Citizens of Govanstown After Fire Pro-
tection.-A large delegation of residents of
Govanstown appeared before the County Com
missioners on Wednesday and requested that
the Volunteer Fire Company just organized at
that place be equipped with fire fighting APP
paratus. DIR. E. M. Duncan was spokesman
| for the delegation. He said that Govanstown
| is rapidly assuming the proportions of a city
| and there is an urgent demand there for better
| FIRE protection. President Mann said that the
| policy of the Commissioners had been to en-
| courage the formation of volunteer fire COM
| panies but the residents of other localities
| where they have been organized had contribu-
ted to the cost of their equipment and he
| thought that the residents OF GovanstoWn
should do likewise.
The Board agreed to place so fire plugs in
| Govanstown, furnish the volunteer fre COM
pany with quarters and pay for one-half OF its
| eouipment. Some of the members ofthe dele
| CATION thought that the county should assume
| the full expense in the matter, as residents OF
| 0ovanstown paid large amount OF taxes
| President Mann said that all city convenences
| could not be expected for the present low county
| tax rate The committee said that the PROPOSE
ton of the Board would be submitted to the
| residents and further conference would be
| held with the former.
| President Mann said that if it was so pre-.
ferred the Board would appropriate one-half oil
the cost of combination chemical and watel
fire engine to replace the present chemical en-
| CINE at Govanstown.

scribers wanted the entire road in Baltimore
county taken over by the State if they had tt
