Put Ban on Immortality

draft of a proposed ordinance making
Il misdemeanor for anyone to use
rooms in either public or private
bouses for immoral purposes. There
have been numerous complaints made
to the city officials regarding the use
n rooms for immoral or assignation

STAMP out the evil. The ordinance.
which provides fines of $25 and up for

Auto Fire Truck Advocated
Fire Chief Frank J. O'Malley was
present and advocated proposition
for the city to purchase an automobile
fire truck, which would be propelled
by gasoline the same as delivery
trucks and automobiles and would con.
tain large supply Of high pressure
chemical as we'll as hose reels and
hooks and ladders, and to cost not to
exceed $4,000. Mr.. O'Malley pointed
out that the fire fighting apparatus
at the present time is in bad shape
and also mentioned the fact that in
Surance rates would be materially re
duced by the acquisition of a fire
truck by the city. The matter was not
acted on, however, it being the con
census of opinion among the council
members that nothing could be done
in that direction until after the frs
OF the year, when the correct assess

able, and at which time the matter will
De taken up and disposed of one way
