CONGRATULATIONS

From The Newark Post.
In another column appears the fnal
and complete financial statement OF
the carnival committee. The fremen
are certainly to be congratulated on
the success Of their efforts. With the
exception of a very few, the results
have been beyond all expectations. II
shows, as we have always maintained,
just how much can be done by an in
terested cooperation.
With the capital now in hand the
FIRE company can plan effectively for
improvement of the company and
make provisions for a more efficient
service.
We feel sure the action Of the COM
mittee appointed to make investiga-
tions for the expenditure Of this
money will go thoroughly into the
matter and We do not doubt but that
the money will be wisely spent The
attitude Of the company in taking the
public into its confidence and giving
wide publicity to all the reports, has
done much to gain the loyal support
given their efforts.
Public opinion, as we have gather
cred It, has no special suggestion TO
offer. Although interested and feeling
more than ever that the Aetna is a
public service corporation, everyone
seems content TO leave the matter to
the judgment of the boys themselves.
The two ideas in view have been,
new engine better suited to meet
the needs OF growing town or new
fire house and home for the company.
Opinion among the fremen, shared by
most Of the citizens, is that the en-
gine should be the first consideration,
keeping in mind. however, a new
building as a further object in view.
Along with all the citizens, the
Post offers its word OF congratula-
tion. If we may be permitted, our
only word of advice is; Don't let
this success blind you 40 the need Of
a greater one next year"
