Hardware city, or as love to cali
it, the Special city The representa-
tiyes of the press have treated me with
mere consideration and genuine good
will than I ever should have received
anu which I have in such a measure
neve, deserved.
MY American friends as such have
gained my profound admiration for
their democratic spirit, and the fine
exhibition of their sense of equality,
and their fellowship with me, a born
foreigner, in many a sphere of our
religious and social life. My stay I'M
New Britain was a most valuable
epoch of my life and as l am about
to leave for Chicago. the city where
they do things. am persuaded that
the last four and a half years were
weaved into my existence for my very
best by the hand of the Master whom
try to serve.

depart with my hands filled by my
fri, nds and acquaintances with flowers
of sweet memory. May our CITY -four

It is expected that within the next
few days the safety board will con-
clude a deal with the American La
France automobile company for the
purchase of city service auto truck
for the central station at cost of
$500.
Car to Cost $500.
Yesterday the commissioners met
with the company's representative and
he made them his offer. The con-
tract is favorable to the city and pro-
yides that in case the city purchases
any more" apparatus before the first
of the VINE year they will receive a
rebate of $500 on their present pur-
chase. While there is no definite plan
in mind to buy any new apparatus, it
cost nothing to have the above clause
inserted and in case the unexpected
should happen it would prove bene-
fetal. Corporation counsel Cooper
will read over the contract soon and
as soon as he passes on it the board
will meet again and take action, it
is thought. ~
The truck which the board expects
to purchase is of similar type to the
two chemicals now in use. 1t is
and is equipped with seventy horse
power, four cylinder motor. The
truck will be geared up to fifty miles
an hour and the gasoline tank will
hold fifteen gallons and is manipulated
by gravity The vehicle is fully
equipped with different length lad
ders and will be a decided improve
ment to the efficiency of the depart
ment.
To Repair Old Truck. w.
The only other business taken up
by the commissioners yesterday was
the vote to have the idle hose wagon
kept at No. engine house repaired
and placed in commission at No. 8
engine house. The old truck there
will be stored at No. 2 engine house.
Neither wagon is in the best of con-
dition but the one at No. 2 house
is thought to be the lesser of the two
evils. =
