MORE MONEY FOR F1REMEN
CITY Il Building Two New Fire Halls,
but Has Not Sufficient Funds
for Equipment or for
hicn.

Plans we're announced for an entertain
ment to be given in Highland park Septem-
Der 9, for the benefit Of the Presbyterian
church building fund. The church members
at the Sunday morning service pledged
themselves to sell tickets for this enter
tainment at 81 each. The congregation ex-
poets to raise over 81 900 in this manner
The entertainment will be one OF the most
novel yet offered for an occasion Of this
kind. The church is now ready for the
laying OF the cornices and the roof is to
be the next consideration. 1t is for this
that the church people are offering the en-
tertainment. Each OF the MEMBERS pledges
TO sell five tickets and It is hoped in this
way TO raise the funds easily
No Funds for Extra Firemen.
The city OF South Omaha is about to
erect two new fire halls and equip them
for service. One is to be at Thirty third
and X streets and the other at Twenty
seventh and Madison streets. The city has
sold bonds for these buildings and for the
equipment; but there is not enough money
in the fire fund to pay the wages of eight
additional men, nor is there enough to
furnish horses and maintenance. The
charter Limitation is $4,000 and this much
was expended for the present service dur
ing the fiscal year just closed. The mayor
will try to interest the coming legislature
in the matter so that the city OF South
Omaha may be permitted to expend more
money for fire protection. The under
writer's association has practically agreed
to force UP the fire insurance rates during
the coming year IL the protection is not
provided 1t lie likely that the new fire
halls will be built and the apparatus pur-
chased by the opening OF another spring.
