ASK FACTORIES
To SHUT DOWN
Firemen Want Employees to
See Parade

Secretary George Meade, of the pa
rade committee of the active fire.
mems association, sent letters yester-
day to the officials of the factories
in this city, requesting them to allow
their employees an opportunity to see
the parade here October "a. 1t is
expected by the committee hat every
industry within the city limits will
grant the request and help in making
"Firemen's Day one of the greatest
in the annals of celebrations in this
city. The Board of Education, who
have been petitioned to close all the
public schools October "a, will act on
this matter at It's next session.
There Is a strong demand for a
mardf gras on the night of October
"a, and the firemen are seriously con-
sidering whether or not this form of
celebration could be added to the
days events. The only and sufficient
obstacle to holding a mardi gras Is
the lack of funds. Money has not
been donated as we'll as could be ex-
pected and an appeal is made to ev-
eryone to help the soliciting commit
tee along and if enough funds are
raised, the committee will hire bands
and procure other necessities for
holding a mardi gras. which will, II
held, without doubt, crown the day a
success.
The program OF the days events
with histories of the different compa-
niles, pictures of exempt f1remen and
other honored ones, will be sold Oc-
tober % or October "a.
Several companies have hired liv-
cry stables for the horses Of the Wis.,
iting companies. The Protection
Hook and Ladder Co. has procured
Liddle & Pfeiffer's stables.
