DEMAND A BETTER
fire RATE SOON
Moline Will Be in Position to
Make Request When Motors
Are Secured.
PEOPLE MUST VOTE BONDS
Chief Hawk of the Department Says
but One Step Remains to Mod
ernize Facilities.

That Moline will be in position to de
rates from the underwriters associa-
ton if the people vote bonds for the
motorizing of the fire department, was
the statement of John Q. Hawk, head
of the department, in a paper read at
the weekly municipal conclave today.
Without a bond issue. he said, it will
be impossible TO make the required i'm
provements for many years. because
the needs of all departments of the
city are growing faster than the rev.
enue increases and sufficient funds will
not be available out of the current rev.
enueS.
The chief pointed out that bonds
have been issued fer waterworks i'm
provement and the work is nearing
completion. When the water pressure
is improved as contemplated. all will
have been done that is possible in this
direction. The city has building ord
nance and an electrical inspection ord
nance copied largely from the fire I'M
derwriters' code.
But One Step Left.
The only step to be taken to give the
very best fire protection practicable is
to motorize the fire department. This
is being done by other cities, and
where they have not sufficient current
revenue to bear the expense they are
issuing bonds for the purpose. Des
Moines and Champaign were named Is
two cities which have recently taken
this course in undermining the depart
ment.
When all requirements of the fire
underwriters are met in providing ev-
cry safeguard against fire. it must fol-
low that the city will get better rates
than it has ever enjoyed.
