The expense of the fire department,
as given above. included $4,075 for
rental of hydrants, $500 for salaries,
81 ,204 for horse trades and incidental
expenses, S591 for horse feed and bed
ding, 1928 for new construction and
repairs on fire alarm, 1921 for coal and
wood, $34s for repairs and material,
and various smaller items. The teams
earned $3.50 in cash ami did some work
in connection with the sewers.
Chief Engineer Harvey w. Sanders
says the hook and ladder truck i not in
good repair and ought to he replaced.
He says few more fire alarm boxes
should be installed. The department
is in q good state Of efficiency. he says.
Il desire to impress upon the
voters. says Chief Sanders, the neces-
| sity of locating a fire station or hose
| house in the vicinity Of South Main
| street near Pine street. That section
of the village is not sufficiently pro
! tected. Should a station be erected at
| the point above suggested, the depart
ment could render more efficient ser
vice to residents in that section of
the village than could possibly be rem
! dered under the present conditions.
1t will be remembered that ! made this
recommendation a year ago and. i'm my
judgment, the matter should receive
| attention.
''The small loss caused by fire dur
ing the past year has no doubt been
on account of the success of the com
bination of chemicals that are in ser
vice. They have fully demonstrated
that they are a valuable adjunct Ia
the department. The CELEBRITY with
which they can be operated is the
means of preventing heavy damage by
water, and the expense of charging
them is only trifiing. OF all fires and
alarms from all sources to date. fully
80 per cent were extinguished by chem.
icals.
Supt. Joseph f. Brockington OF the
fire alarm system says that changes
the past year have put the system in
the best condition. He is pleased witt
the operation of the. new whistle In
conclusion he saws: 1.-The line material
has been purchased for the box to b,
placed on Vernon street near the Yer

FINANCIAL EXHIBIT OF VILLAGE
Cash from All Sources Was $685. 73SS-Baance is 1858 2;
-Bailiffs Recommend Tax Sufficient to Raise $4,000

Copies of the financial exhibit of
the village Of Brattleboro and reports
of the baiIiffs, chief engineer, chief of
police and superintendent Of fire alarm
are ready for distribution to the
voters. They cover the finances of
the village up to May /. There have
been but four bailiffs the past year.
Herbert G. Barber, John T. Kaine,
Solon A. Richmond and Oscar T. Ware.
Their report is as follows:
With the influx of strangers due to
building operations, Valley fair, politi-
cal speakings, etc, we consider that
remarkably good order has been main
tanned within the village limits and
crimes of a serious nature have been
few. We believe this condition of at
fairs to be due to the absence of the
saloon from within our borders, in CON
nection with efficient work, by Officers
Wilson and WOrden. We recommend
the re-appointment of Mr.. Wilson as
| chief of police.
Three new hydrants have been in
stalled the past year. The department
when called by general alarm have rem
| dered efficient service, and much loss
has been averted by the continual pres
| enee of men and horses in the engine
| house to answer still alarms.
The Estey Organ company consider
ed it advisable that the fire alarm be
| withdrawn from their whistle, but were
| willing to furnish steam for a new fire
alarm whistle if installed "a favor
| which the voters should appreciate, a,
the initial cost of a whistle elsewher,
| would be over $4,000. This chang,
| cost the village about $500.
There are now 332 SO-candle powe

per year, in addition to the arches OIL

NEW HOSPITAL BUILDING
IS PROPERLY FINANCED

Financing OF the Mercy hospital
building. which has been standing idle,
partially completed, for some time
owing to the lack of funds has been
accomplished through che instru
mentality OF Capt. H. S. Norton, prop
erty agent of the Gary Land company.
He was successful In negotiating an
$4,000 loan on the building, which In
sures the immediate completion of it.
Capt. Norton, who is out of town.
wired this information TO Gary. No
details as to the duration of the loan
nor the name of the loaning company
has been received. It is said to be a
big eastern insurance company.

ANOTHER INTER
URBAN STORY

Another story was sprung yester-
day regarding an interurban line
which it is proposed to build connect

Meeting with the line to Laporte. and
it was even stated that plans are un-
der way for the construction of such
a road. The Cooperative Construc-
tion company already has eighty-ive
miles of road in northern Indiana and
proposed to connect Laporte with
Plymouth and then follow the Penn
sylvania right of way into Fort

posed New York-Chicago air line, a
project put forth some years ago.
