Mr.. Smythe who read the report OF
the committee spoke at some length
showing that the cost of maintaining a
paid department would be but little diff
ferent from our present syete1n and said
there would be a material difference in
our insurance rates. He said as near as
he could find out we are paying $50, 900
a year in insurance premiums. A
reduction of 10 per cent would enable us
to save enough to support our fire de-
partment while reduction of 25 per
cent the same as has been made in sew
era1 places would enable US to save
enough to support our department and
pay the cost of installing it.
Chief Blodgett was called on and said
that he was most thoroughly a volun-
teer fireman but he was not opposed to
improvement. He agreed with Mr..
Smythe that if we were to have paid
department it should be devoted entire
ly to fire purposes. He simply wanted
the best there was for the village.
After further discussion the Rev. 6. w.
c. Hill introduced resolutions receiving
the report of the committee and dismiss
ing it from further service, declaring it
to be the sense of the meeting that the
village required a paid fire department
and a combination motor wagon; that
the trustees of the village be authorized
to procure a site and proceed to the
installation of fire station and equip
ment.
