special bond issue of 100000, to
be used for the improvement of Rich
mond's fire lighting force. will be asked
by the Board of Fire Commissioners
In q formal recommendation to tho
City Council, which is being prepared
bE committee. consisting of Com
missioners Robert Lecky. Jr., chair
man; William d Franklin and Stanley
b. Tyler. Ii the paper can be drafted
IN time. il will be presented at the
meeting of the Common Council next
Monday night.
This move on the part OF the Board
OF Fire Commissioners Is the result
OF the recent report OF the National
Board of Fire Underwriters on the
subject of fire hazards in Richmond
The not altogether favorable comment
OF these engineers will serve to keep
up premiums on fire insurance in Rich
mond higher than in some other cities
the lack of the best fire fighting ia
ciliteS. therefore, taxing money from
the taxpayers pockets in an indirect
way. Instead of paying a high pre-
MUM rate, the Fire commissioners
wish TO have the taxpayers authorize
the bond issue for improvements
which Will effectually lower tho in
surance rates
To MotoriAe Department..
The committee proposes TO ask tho
Council 10 continue tho $4,000 annual
appropriation for expense" which Is
used for general improvements and
in addition authorize the special bond
Issue OF 100000. the bonds to mature
In ten years The Fire Board expects
10 save $4,000 year from the sos. 900
expense appropriation for ten years
and redeem the bonds when thev ma
ture. II is probable that such a propo-
siton may meet with favor in the
Council. but the present attitude OF
the Finance Committee is TO delay all
costly improvements until the next
fiscal year
With the 100000 bond issue the
committee expects to place one auto
mobile engine In every engine house
In the city. There are already two
motor fire engines in the department,
and twelve more would have to be
purchased. The horse drawn appara-
tus would he retained. which would
equip the city with a force of twenty
six engines. The rest OF the huge sum
is TO be used in installing more mod
ern system of fire alarms and in put
ting entirely new equipment In the
fire alarm headquarters.
The reform in the distribution of the
water supply the Fire Commissioners
are willing TO leave in the hands of
the Administrative Board.

The service had been denominated
a String service" and those who came
each brought a string. These, the

placing a young man in chair, bound
him with the strings, showing the
binding influence of sin. Particular

he stated that the card table, dancing
and the liquor demon, are all used by
satan to bind our lives to him. Then
he showed how hopeless is this bind

Savior.
