City Commissioner NJ. Harvey Tay-

day in discussing the report of the fire
fighting committee of the Underwrit-
ers to the Chamber of Commerce rela-
tive to Harrisburg's fire protection
needs.
The experts report points out the
need OF modern automatic motor
pumps. for instance" went on Com
missioner Taylor. Now they are
needed it is true, to complete the eff
cient equipment of a fire department
and undoubtedly Harrisburg should
have them. But they're costly-they
average from $4,000 to 100000 apiece.
In buying what motor apparatus we
now have we had S25, 900 to spend So
you see we couldn't have gone very
far if we bought pumps, too
But, If the people vote to float the
100000 loan to motorize the whole
department the city will certainly pro-
vide, pumps too. Not only will it be
able to fill all the suggestions of the
Fire Underwriters but it will be in
shape to go far beyond what the re-
port has called for.

Some time ago the commission re-
fused the petition. The company then
went to the courts, where additional

petition. Judge Heuisler sent the
matter back to the commission for an
other hearing, in the light of the new
evidence.
In the order refusing approval which
was handed down Yesterday by Com
