Following its policy of bringing ev-
cry department up to tt'e highest staee
of efficiency the commissioners have
purchased two new fire engines at d
cost Of 81, 600, two combination en-
gines at a cost of SO 800, and new
aerial truck at a cost of $4,000 Plans
have been approved for a combined
fire and police station opposite the
municipal bIilling AMI pans have also
been drawn for two new fire engine
houses to be located in residence and
factory sections heretofore witLo IL

drawn for a police station in the sub

licemen. Provision has also been made
for supplying tae suburbs with cleo
trio ligles and for making important
extensions of the sewer system so as
to provide for these outlaying com
munities. In this way the Memphis
commissioners are answering tie
charge sometimes heard that a COM
mission of business men will look af-
ter tke business section of the city to
the neglect of the outlaying sections.
