Much Loss Outside Limits.

There was a considerable fire loss
in Tulsa during the year outside the
city limits. In these the fire depart
ment answered the calls, although not
required to do so, but these losses
should not be checked up against the
fire department as they were handl-
capped by the long runs they had to
make in each instance and the fact
that no water facilities are provided
in outlying portions Of the city.
The city has shown its appreciation
Of the fire department by recently
voting $4,000 in bonds for n new
central station and additional equip
ment. Tulsa is proud Of her fire de-
partment and has never been found
wanting when the time came for as
sistance in the way OF finances for
needed improvements.
