Bill Providing For Good Roads
Bond Issue Introduced by
Senator J. q. Hughes
Provides for Election
Next June.

A bill calling for an election in
Union county upon the question of a
quarter million dollar bond issue for
the building of good roads has been
introduced by Senator Hughes. 1t is
probable that the bill will be passed
and that there will be an election this
spring for good roads in this county.
The following is the full text of the
bill introduced by Senator Hughes:
Putnam patriot., 1916-12-15

The committee finds that another
piece of apparatus placed In the north
end Of the city would be in closer prox-
unity TO our large manufacturing
pIarts and Catholic church and
schools and that it would be able to
sooner reach property on the northern
boundary line OF the city. If there are
two trucks and one Is delayed for any
cause the other would be on hand, and
with two such pieces there would be a
good natured rivalry between the COM
panies and one company would not
have to do practically all the work as
at present.
The committees statement points
out a possible cloud burst, or thunder
storm or . high wind spreading fire
SO that there are two fires burning AT
the same time, as happened during
the Wheaton fire. The large area 10
be covered is mentioned and Ii is point
ed out that the truck engaged in fight
ing fire in one corner leaves the rest OF
the territory without protection. This
also happens when the truck is out 10
brush or a slight chimney fire. The
growth Of the city is pointed out, both
in population and number of build
ings, meaning more property to pro.
tect.
In closing the statement reads in
part as follows:
The definite proposal is TO purchase
chemical combination truck, Of
somewhat The same type as the pres
ent Chemical No. l. II should be
large enough to carry chemical tank,
500 to 1000 feet Of water hose and
light ladders, which latter are often
the first things needed 10 save life, and
TO make possible the use Of the other
equipment. IT need not be so expen-
sive as the present truck, as the ilatter
is designed TO permit the addition OF a
pump If desired. Also, money goes
further in these lines today, because
automobiles are lower in price than
they were two years ago, and because
more concerns now make motor ii re
apparatus.
1t is further proposed to make alter.
atoms in the Smith street fl re house,
lowering IL to conform to the new
street grade, putting in a suitable floor,
and installing stove.
The cost Of the truck and the altera.
tions to the building can be met by an
appropriation of a sum not to exceed
$500, as proposed for consideration.
This first cost Is certainly m oderate, If
anything is TO be done at all, and the
experience with the present chemical
shows an actual reduction of upkeep
over the former arrangement.
The committee Will welcome COM
munications from the point of view
that more apparatus IS not needed,
either to the committee itself, through
the press or at public meeting.
