Mute arose and asked that the candi-
dates for the nomination express their
opinions on the proposal to add an auto
mobile fire truck to the city's present

believed that Barre now possessed one
of the most efficient fire departments in

ever, if the majority of the citizens fa-
yored an automobile truck he would
offer no objection to the acquisition He
submitted that the city is making COM
mendable progress along right lines, and
that when the necessity for fire truck
became paramount, ways and means
would be found for its purchase.
To Mr.. Thomas it seemed that the
north end of the city stood in need of
increased fire protection. He was not
prepared to say whether or not the city
should make such purchase at this

faithfully represent the sentiment of the
