Richmond Has Facts and Figures.

The special village meeting called
for the purpose of seeing whether the
voters will decide to purchase motor
driven fire apparatus or carry out the
original proposition of buying horse
drawn ladder truck viii be held this
evening in Festival hall at clock.
Chairman Solon \. Richmond of the
commission is prepared with the cost
figures of seven different makes of ap-
paratus such ms would be suitable TO
purchase for use in Brattleboro, also
numerous letters from fire chiefs in
different towns and cities where this
style of apparatus has been used. The
chiefs in every instance highly recon
mend the use Of motordriven apparatus
even in towns and cities that are very
hilly.
There is un4uestionably some opposi,
tion to the plan OF purchasing the ma
chine. but many Of the heavy interests
of the village and town favor the pur-
chase of this form of apparatus and
somewhat of "A battle may be expected
to determine whether the village shall
advance the FIRE protection department
OF It's government or stick TO the old
form of horse drawn apparatus.
