NEW CASTLE, Del, April ll.-Chief
Jesse Mckay OF the Good Will Fire Com
pany is delighted over the work done by
the men at the Edgar Allen fire on
Thursday night. When attention was
called to the danger arising from the
proximity of an acetelyne gas tank to
the big building the iremen went to the
root of the plant. One of the hremen
used an axe on the gas tank and rcmov-
cd all danger. Another matter which
is pleasing is that the visiting fremen
had no trouble in connecting with the
fire plugs. Workmen were at the plant
yesterday and some of the departments
viii resume operations next Wedncs-
day. The plant had been so busy that
a night force was to have been put at
work. The fire loss will reach $4,000.
Now comes a revival OF the agitation
for a power fire apparatus The idea is
to sell the present fire house, engine,
chemical engine and other apparatus and
purchase a modern fire fighting machine.
City Council will be asked to take action
on the matter.

lsented in the NJ. i. Church tomorrow:
