the case in the new tangled dances of

there was such a darned crowd that

chine. I heard some old-time Jig
music in one of the dance houses, and
I'd got out and shook nv feet onlv
for the big crowd. Say, I believe
could get right in and show some

on the floor now, old as 1 am Saw.
Mr.. Bindloss, wish you'd get up an
old time dance, and I'll go and fiddle
and call off, free gratis. I'll bet a S4

Chief Samuel G. CottrelI of the
Westerly fire department is compiling
the cost of maintenance and operation
of the Rhode Island Ones and Cyclone
Twos motor driven fire apparatus,
which will have been in commission
one year on July I. While accurate
figures cannot be had until the year
is completed, the chief is satisfied that
the sum will be less than 5000, as
against $3.50 that has been paid in the
past for the service of horses. 1t is
understood that plans are being made
to connect a tractor with the Alert
Hook and Ladder truck and when this
is done Westerly will have complete
ly motorized fire department. In order
to insure improved service with the
hook and ladder truck, until the change
is made, Chief Cottrell has contracted
with George z. Champlin & Son to
furnish a horse for the truck and to be
always in readiness to respond to fire
alarms, and without any delay.

Chief CottrelI is deVisinq a plan so
that the Westerly department will be
of service in the event of fire at Pleas
ant View. With the modern motor
driven apparatus, the need for fire
stations in some sections is materially
lessened and two of these stations
fully equipped could be transferred to
Pleasant View, and an alarm service
established by use of the telephone,
and the addition of a specially cut cog
wheel specifying a number for the
Pleasant View section. The motor ap-
paratus could make the run in ten
minutes. and that growing resort
would have good fire protection. Of
course, this could not be done without
fire hydrant service. Already there is
a pipe line TO Pleasant View and it is
believed that if the water consumers
at the resort paid $12 for that service
instead Of SO that a sufficient number
of hydrants could be installed. While
the Westerly department is confined
within the jurisdiction of the West
erly fire district. still cheerful response
is made to calls outside the district,
and it could be arranged that Pleasant
View property owners make reasonable
recompense for the service and the
Westerly fire district relieved of any
extra expense.
