LIKES St. LOUIS
FIRE APPARATUS
Mayor FayOrs Purchase for Salt
Lake of Same Style Engine
Used There.

After an absence from the city Of two
weeks. during which he visited Chi
cage, Buffalo, st. Louis and other east
ern cities, Mayor John S. Bransford
was at his office again Wednesday
The mayor went east to investigate
automobile fire apparatus, in oEder to
be thoroughly informed on the matter
before making his recommendations to
the city council relative TO combina-
and ladder wagon for this city.
In speaking Of the matter Tuesday
morning, Mayor Bransford says that
he has in mind several styles of en-
gines which would be ideal for condi-
tions in this city, and that as soon as
possible he will lay the matter before
the city council, The mayor visited the
various factories where automobile fire
apparatus is made and thoroughly fa-
miliarized himself with the subject.
Mayor Bransford was greatly i'm
pressed with the automobile fire appara-
tus at st. Louis, which he saw in serv~
ice, The mayor says that he visited a
factory in ST. Louis that was making
ten automobile fire engines for New
York City.
The engine which is being thought of
for Salt Lake will be q combination
pump, chemical engine, hose and ladder
wagon, About the same style engine as
Salt Lake City contemplates buying is
in llse in ST. Louis, the mayor declares.
Mayor Bransford is of the opinion
that there will be but very few horses
in service in the fire departments
throughout the entire country within
three years. In addition TO being more
serviceable and durable than horses,
they cost much less to maintain than
horses do, according to the mayor
While Mayor Bransford was in Chi.
cago one of the worst snow storms
which the city has experienced in yenrs
occurred. The mayor declares that the
coolest weather he ever experienced in
Salt Lake is mild as contrasted with
that of Chicago.

the first shot was fired by Pouas Eight
witnesses. he contended, had testified that
four shots were fired, while Stathakos's =
revolver showed that only three shots had
