- 10 the drying and draining OF the hose.
v 10 contended By certain members of the
rown hoard a Trustees thst il 10 the
aaey 0f the hremen to see that the hose is

10 be the general understanding that il 10
~ dsty Of the Town Board of Trustees TO
mske provision for the draining sad dry
inG n the hose. II seems TO have been
Ne custom. for years past. that the mar
sAal was elected by the hremea to act as
ose marshal. and in that case, it ives his
aHty 20 see that the hose WAS properly
drained and dried. II also seems to have
been the custom for the mayor Of the town
" instruct the marshal that II is his duty
te see that the hose 10 properly drained
and dried. after every are. and that he is
TO hire ell necessary help to do this. The
Areusen do not feel that they should be
ceWpelled to leave their business. after
| tAey have devoted their time for . IRE. in
srAes to see that q hose 10 properly
1rsined. dried. and put in place. Further

In many cases. the equipment hss been

These carts should be Atted thst the
esuipwent would be secure. and nothing
