Commission Asks Approval OF
Loan of $4,000 for Fire

WANT NEW STATION ON HILL
Purchase of Four More Motor Driven
Trucks, One With Aerial Equip
ment, Is Desired.


Voters of the city will be asked in
the spring to pass upon bond issue
of $4,000 for the purpose of modern
ising the fire department. The subject
has been realized to be of first impor-
lance for several years and the present
administration has diverted such
fnuds as. il could from other depart
ments in the hope that bond issue
could be avoided. 1t is believed, how
ever, that such a course is no longer
justified inasmuch as the city must
necessarily be stinted for several
years in order to provide sufficient
fund from the general revenues.
Decision to put the bond issue up
to the people was reached at the meet
ing of the city commission this morn
ing. If it is not found necessary to
hold an election in April to fill the
Office of police magistrate a special
election will be called. City Attorney
Johnston is preparing an opinion as
to whether an election for police mag
istrate is necessary.
