FIRE CHIEF DESIRES
AUTO LADDER TRUCK
May Ask Council TO Appro,
pirate $4,000 AT Septem-
Der Budget Meeting.

A new automobile ladder truck may
be asked for by Fire Chief Ed Miller
when he prepares his budget for pre-
sentation to council in September.
The present ladder wagon at No. .
hose company in the city building is
old and in a bad condition and the
laddermen claim that II is dangerous
TO ride on.
A modern ladder truck of the kind
desired by Chief Miller costs $4,000,
The ladders are arranged SO that a
hose can be carried TO the top of the
highest ladder and directed TO throw
stream of water which would prob
ably shoot far over the highest build
ing in the city at present.
The old ladder wagon leans to one
side: the axles are twisted: the
frame is warped and the entire Wa
gon is in state beyond repair. Turn,
ing corners at high rate of speed nee
essary in going TO fires requires the
skill on the part of the driver and
the firemen say that an accident can
be expected at any time.

IS NOW ALLEGED

temporarily at least. and make this
explanation for the notes plausible.
Moore went to Melh and is alleged
to have declared that he knew where
Melh could get eight per cent inter
est on loans of his (Melli's) money
Seeming a profit. it is said Melh paid
sums of $3.50. $500 and $500 to Moore
IN return for the notes supposed TO
be properly signed by the New Paris
men. The notes ran for six months
and were made payable to ]. E. Moore
on different banks of Richmond.
The real estate man is then al
legged TO have carried out his scheme
by renewing the notes himself and
paying the interest TO Meln. In prac-
tically every case there were two
names signed to each note. Four of
the men whose names were signed
have been dead for several years.
Moore Was Despondent7
1t is not positively known what
caused the suspicion to arise in Mr..
Melli's mind that all was not right,
but ii is thought he wrote to one of
the indorsers whose name was on a
note, stating that the note was due
When the supposed indorser an
swered that he had no note out, fur
Their inquiries were made and 1t de-
veloped that Melli had apparently
been swindled. Whether purposely or
not is problematical in view of facts
which have arisen since.
1t is asserted that Moore had be-
come respondent because of business
difficulties and had permitted his
mind to become overtaxed. George
Gates of the Union National bank said
today that he never. heard of Moore
committing a dishonorable act in his
life, but knew that he would sometimes
give out checks when he had no mon
ey on hand. In each case, however,
he said he always made good" the
amount.
Mr.. Melli declined to answer any
and all questions, but Mr.. Schwegman,
his son-in-law, said he believed that
Moore did not commit the misdemean-
or with the intentions of defrauding
his father-in-law. He said that it was
his opinion that Moore intended to ul-
timately pay back the money Dor
rowed from Mr.. Melli
Efforts to get into communication
with Mrs. Moore today failed, but
from remarks made by Mr.. MeIli, he
will not lose anything and has already
been repaid for a partial amount of
the sums he gave the real estate
agent. Mr.. Melli is the only person,
so far as has been learned, to whom
notes were given.
Moore has lived many years in
Richmond and had his office in the
First National Bank building.
