ventative of Serious Down

BORROW LIGHT FUND
Commercial Club Believes
Additional Equipment Will
Mean Lower Insurance
Rate.

Board of works members today in
structed City Clerk Bescher to adver-
tise for bids for an automobile ladder
truck for the fire department. The
board was unanimously in favor of
providing an adequate ladder equip
ment for the department. The plan
was indorsed by Mayor Robbins and
it's adoption urged by f. NJ. Camp.
field, representing the Commercial
club.
1t was decided that the money re-
quired to purchase the truck, the cost
of which will be in the neighborhood
of $4,000, should be raised by a tenn
porary loan, being borrowed from the
sinking fund of the municipal light
plant. City Attorney Bond, however
declared that no loan could be ne.
gotiated unless it was paid off before
the close of the year, a task which
would be difficult for the city to &C.
complish, otherwise bonds would have
to be issued.
CampfieId Gives Plan.
NO they won't" interrupted Camp
field. 1T can be arranged to turn
over the money from the municipal
plants sinking fund to some bank and
then have the bank loan the money
to the city At the close of the year,
pay off the loan with money taken
from other funds then the first of next
year secure another loan from the
city plant and distribute the monies
into the various funds from which
money had been taken at the close OF
this year. You won't have any trouble
about this loan. I'll guarantee that it
will be cared for
City officials have reached no def.
mite conclusion as to what method will
be pursued in raising money to pay
for the truck.
Mr.. Campfield declared that the pur.
chase of a fire truck would have the
additional advantage Of bringing
about a substantial reduction in fire
insurance rates in this city. Rich.
mond, which is now in class three
fire insurance rating, would be ad
vanced to class two and half, Mr.
Campfield asserted although the
state underwriters bureau insisted
that the fire department be increased
one man before taking such action
He thought, however. that the bureau
would not be arbitrary in this respect
and would be satisfied with the ad-
dition of a modern aerial truck.
Truck Means Saving.
According to Mr.. Campfield if Rich
mond was advanced to class two and

FRIGHT IN ROME
QUAKE RECORD.
Dead (estimatedD, $4,000.
Injured (estimated) $4,000.
Towns destroyed or damaged 81.
Homeless 100000.

ROME, Jan. 14-Three more shocks
occurred this morning. one of them
very severe. These, said the refugee,
an employe of the normal school and
college at AveZzano, completed the
work of destruction begun by the
shock of yesterday. The tremors
were also felt in Rome, the heaviest
coming about 3 a. m. and driving
thousands of persons from their beds
in terror.
The AVeZzano refugee brought the
first story of the disaster to Rome.
"Avezzano is mass of ruins" he
said, "1n the normal school were 14O
girl students. The college was de-
stroyed in the same manner
Houses standing upon the shore of
Fucino Lake were thrown into it's
bed. Other houses were smashed into
heaps Of dust that buried their occll-
pants.
Il believe that not single student
at the normal school escaped.
Il was caught among the debris near
the college and was unable to get out
for several hours.
Several survivors fought to reach
the imprisoned girls even after their
voices had been stilled, but they had
to abnadon the task"
The man tainted three times while
he was telling this brief story
The heavy loss of life in the earth
quake zone is attributed to the
methods of construction used in build.

peasants in the surrounding country
lived in stone houses and huts.

The Naples estimate was based on
message from Solmona. town TWEEN
ty-two miles east of Avezzano. which
had been reported destroyed with a
loss of 11.00O lives. The Solmona mes
sage stated that there were few cas-
ualties at Avezzano, but a refugee who
arrived here this afternoon said that
the first reports underestimate rather
than eXaggerate the horror at Avez-
Zano.

more than $4,000 were injured At
least 100000 are homeless.
Some of the more ina ginat tive ex-
pressed belief that the earthquake was
divine warning to Italy not to take
part in the war and this conclusion
was not confined to the masses. 1t
was heard even in official and palace
circles throughout the day
The Superstitious looked upon the
disaster as an omen which the Italian
nation should heed
The greater part of the territory in
Eastern Italy affected by the disturb
ance is mountainous country. In some
places railway tunnels were DESTROYED
and it will be months before rail traf-
flc can resume its normal sway.
Quake Zone 2eo Miles.
The region most deeply affected ex-
tends about 2S0 miles from north to
south and about 100 miles from the
Mediterranean east toward the Adri-
attic sea, with the heart of the most
terribly stricken area being in the
valley OF the Central Apprentices.
These mountains are not volcanic
origin. although from Naples it is re-
ported that Nesuvius has been show.

the past twenty-four hours
Rome appears to have escaped IA
talities. although some persons here
were injured.
King Visits Scene.
Announcement was made at noon
that King Victor Emmanuel had left
Rome for the interior to visit the
points where the earthquake was most
severe.
Premier Salandra Cancelled a trip ha
had intended to make to Naples today
and stayed in Rome to superintend re-
