The American LaFrance Chemical
Fire Engine purchased by the city
council last fall from the company
at Elmira, N. Y, has arrived in the
city and is being exhibited in motion
on Lemon and other downtown streets
this week.
1t is an auto engine with two tanks
for chemicals, a platform for carry
ing the fire fighters and a piece of
lawn hose for squirting the juices at
the blaze. The machine is said to
be wonder, though up to the pres.
ent there has been no demonstration
of its power to subdue flame. Its
"get there" qualities are apparent to
any one who has witnessed its speed
ing up the street. The engine car
ries an alarm bell.
The engine is brilliant vermil
lion and the name "Palatka No. l" is
lettered on its side.
The council sent a committee to
Kissimmee last fall to witness the
performance of similar machine and
the committee was so pleased that it
reported in favor of purchase by
this city.
The engine costs the city $6,316.00;
the payments are of preferred order
and run three years; the interest OF
the deferred payments is figured lr
the amount above quoted and the
notes will be without other interest
The first payment of 81 800 is to be
made within ten days of the accep-
tance of the engine by the city
The contract binds the city to accept
in case a demonstration shows the
engine capable of performing what
was claimed for it.
There is some criticism of the coun-
Gil because of the manner of this
purchase. Aid Usina insists that
the council violated a resolution OF
that body when it failed to buy in
the open market. Several others
have expressed the same view, al
though they contend that a fire fight
ing apparatus was badly needed by
the city.
Others contend that the city has
no right to buy and give notes; that
in doing so it violates the spirit, at
least, if not the letter of the charter
Certain it is that the city needed
this engine or some other quick meth
cd of getting at fire, and it was
needed badly. The city attorney has
passed on the legality of the purchase
Late yesterday afternoon, Alder
man Usina, who also claims the city
is paying too much for the engine,
handed The News the following tele-
gram to prove his position. The tel
egram is addressed to prominent
citizen of the city who holds the same
views as Mr.. Usina, and the following
is a verbatim copy:

Mrs. Stoves Florida Home.

At the last meeting of the literary

where Mandarin, the southern home
Of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, was

on that day:
"The members of Martha Reid

SNEAK Thieves
and BURGLARS
Have Been Making Success
full hauIs in PaIatka.

On Sunday afternoon last and in
broad daylight a burglar or burglars
broke through the rear door of Lam
casters motorcycle and bicycle store
on Lemon street and secured about
500 in money from the cash drawer
and two or three revolvers, roller
skates, knives, etc.
The panel of the door was first
broken with the view of getting an
arm through to lift the bar that Mr..
Lancaster usually has across it from
the inside. But the bar was not in
place last Sunday; it had been neg
lected. The door was locked with
key and an iron bar was used to force
the lock. Evidence of the work is
still there to tell the manner of en-
trance.
The same afternoon a sneak thief
entered Dodge's news and novelty
store. Entrance was made through
the door leading to the upstairs apart
ments where Mr.. Dodge lives. He
heard the door click, but thought it
was Mrs. Dodge who had only lit
tie time before been down in the store.
From this hallway leading to the up
stairs apartments there is also a door
leading to the store. This door was
not locked. The thief secured some
knives, rings and other things of va
lue and retired through the rear door.
There is a good clue to this thief,
though up to the present he has not
been captured.
The police department has driven
several suspicious white tramps from
the city during the week, but on none
of these have been found anything to
connect them with the above men
toned robberies.

sort.

had succeeded in locating another
manufacturing plant in Palatka, and
that the same would be in operation
within few months.

ton to Palatka's manufacturing fam
ily, was begun the first part of No.

pentine barrels, BUSINESS which will

Answer To Chicken Problem.

Mr.. Editor:
In Saturdays issue of The Ban
ner the following chicken problem
was submitted to the Academy
Street Poultry Club for solution:
eff hen and a half lays an egg
and a half, in a day and half. how
many eggs will six hens lay in sew
en- days?"
On behalf of the majority OF the
members of the Club, the president
submits the following answer, which
is % eggs in seven days, from the
six hens:
One and one-half chickens in one
and one-haR days lay one and one
half eggs.
One chicken in one and one-half
days lays one egg.
One chicken ia oiie dayr lays fTo-
thirds OF an egg.
Six chickens In one day lay four
eggs.
Six chickens in seven days lay
% eggs.
While several of the members do
not agree on this answer, claiming
that the hens will lay AZ eggs In
seven days. we think that you will
find % eggs to be the correct so
luton to the problem.
