Within the past week the city
fire department has twice been called
out by the burning out of chimneys-
one at the residence of Merrill
Hildreth and other at the residence of
Gus Munson. The department was
not needed in either instance, but the
expense to the city is considerable
and must be paid, just the same. 1t

partment until there is good reason
for feeling that its services are need
