May ORGANIZE
FIRE COMPANY
FOR m|Ll|KEn
Town Is Well Equipped With Fire
Fighting Apparatus and Now
Needs Men to Use 1t

Milliken, Dec. 9-Now that the
new water works system in Milliken
is in readiness for use in case OF
fire and the town possesses good
hose cart and we'll equipped hook
and ladder wagon, some of those
most interested in the welfare OF
the town are agitating the advis-
ability of organizing fire COM
pauy.
No definite move has been taken
to organize company, although
the town has all the equipment for
one. and in case fire should break
out it is thought lack of system and
leadership would render the equip
ment of little avail. Attention Is
called to the fact that the insurance
rate would be lowered if fire
company were organized. and prop
erty owners are beginning to show
interest in the question.
