Was Volunteer.
Iohn Anderson's first job with the
fire department, was driving one
horse hook and ladder truck. The day
was colder than any January day
that ever comes along in this day and
age. The truck driver was a beard

enough TO vote, but full of life and in
love with fire work. The pay was
only little more than thirty-three
dollars month for driver then,

as driver of the one-nag truck from
Mayor John N. Irwin, since, deceased.
D. G. Lowry was chairman of the fire
committee at that time and G. P. Ar

The chief drove the Sixth street
hose reel for twenty-seven years, a
driver by the name of Chapman be-
ing released by the department about
a year after John anderson had en-
tered the fire department. The three
drivers. the chief and his assistant
were the only men paid. Later when
the minute men we're employed by
the city, they received monthly sti-
pend of six dollars.
Thus it has been that the depart
ment that was not worth much more
than thousand dollars a year to the
city back in the seventies, is one of
the largest paid departments in the
city today, and this years appropria-

himself there are ct east one or two
instances. especially in public ser

LANDLORD MULROY
THE ATTRACTION

Grand Rapids saloons are noisy
compared with MarshfieId's sedate
German hosteries, the old river
roars all night, the streets are mar
row and irregular and the bridge
looks pretty long to a MarshfieId
juryman returning late at night from
the court house or from a skat
tournament at Jake Lutz' place to
Mulroys popular hotel, but on the
whole the juryman's lot is not so
hard as the story he tells his wife
when he gets home might indicate.
1t is a peculiar fact that the Marsh
field delegation usually s-ops at tn
Commercial House on the west side,
thOuh the court house is on the
east side, thus necessitating a cold
trip across the bridge for every
meal. Landlord Mulroy's pinocIe
playing seems to be the attraction
that holds visiting Jurymen to the
west side. l. P TiffauIt, George
Strang and Philip Adler are not on
the jury list this fall, somewhat to
their hagrin.-MarshfieI Times.
