NEW APPARATUS WOULD DECREASE INSURANCE RATE

For some time our fire boy
have had merely a "ioke on tn,

great many Of them have lost
interest and dropped out of the
company altogether.
But a few of the faithful ones
have stayed with it, and in their
feeble efforts have done the best
they could under the circum-
stances.
AT their last meeting great
interest was manifested and
much important business was
attended TO. One important
feature was resolution to ad-
here strictly to the bylaws,
another was a revision of the
membership roll. and the follow
