MONEY GOES GLADLY
 IN CHECKS FOR FIRE
 PROTECTION SERVICE

Lowell and Johnson addition are
 spending money for fire protection,
 and are happier about it than they
 have been about anything in a long
 time They have the progressive
 spirit highly developed in Lowell and
 Johnson addition and no one can show
 them the way too fast when it comes
 to putting up money from which pub.
 lie benefit is to be received.
 CT never drew a check for anything
 that I considered more worth while
 or was happier to pay for" declared
 John M. Johnson of the Johnson Addi-
 tion Furniture Co.,. yesterday as he
 made 31lS6f payable Co County Treas
 urer Hicks. And his attitude was
 that of a large number of others who
 were writing checks yesterday in pay
 ment Of call made by the treasurer
 for the fund Of the new fire depart ment for the Lowell and Johnson ad- diton localities
 The fire protection provided in the new fire district will greatly increase
 the desirability Of residence and in. vestment in building there. It has
 been badly needed Had it been available a few months ago the dis astrous Johnson addition fire would have been averted Now they are pun ting fire plugs on the addition and on the main business street along Naco road. In all five fire hydrants go in at Johnson addition In Lowell there are seven Others will be placed in other quarters in the new district Loca. ton of the hydrants has been chosen in each instance with excellent judg- ment and to the end of securing the highest possible service and efficiency from each hydrant General opinion is that the local work provides the maximum of service and protection lt is expected that connections win be l made very shortly with the big main line Of the Bisbee NacO Water Co.,. through which will be obtained fine pressure. It has been tested to the highest points in the new fire pro- tectson district and found to be wholly adequate. The new fire district and its fire department were authorized recently by Inc Board of Supervisors. ] following a petition generally signed by the property owners resident in Lowell and Johnson addition. In ad- ] dluon there was volunteer depart. l ment fund started and generously sub l scrlbed to. The action Of the suDervi. l sors provided for the necessary spo- i cial tax upon property to secure the equipment of the district with hv. drants and service and in payment of this special tax the property owners are now remitting their checks to County Treasurer Charles Hicks. Asi stated above they are separating themselves from this money with prompt readiness and satisfaction.
 Meantime their localities have al. ready benefited much from the 8s- surance that has come about of fire Johnson Addition affords . a fine evidence Of this. for since i. has l been certain that there would be fire protection new building has gone on apace and the construction has been Of several times the worth. in regard to pemanence and improvement over former consumption on the addition. of that which prevailed before the hre The addition is coming rapidly. as a |, matter of fact into the position to which it is entitled as one of the very l most desirable residence locations i'm ! the entire district and where prop. l erty can only grow more valuable and ! desirable as time passes. Improved | building construction periods such as the present hasten the ultimate max. | mum values which win belong to l properties In this locality The ssmo | points apply also to Lowell
