tag day, and the date selected is Sept
H. The tag day is being arranged by

for their new quarters in the new CEN
trail fire station.
The Danielson Firemens' association
was recently organized and in it is
combined the members of all the COM
panies. Instead of occupying rooms in
different buildings, as they do at pres
ent, they will have parlors together in
their hew home, and considerable
money will be required to furnish them
in the way desired The salary the
borough pays the borough fire fighters
does not permit the men to bear all
the expense themselves, so they are
going to try the tag day plan.
