DEDICATION OF
 NEW FIRE HOUSE
AN INSTITUTION OF WHICH THE PEOPLE OF PULASKI HEIGHTS ARE JUSTLY PROUD
 MANY PRESENT.

The new $10,000 fire station erected by the city of Little Rock at Beech and Prospect for the Eighth and Ninth wards of the city, was formally opened and dedicated Wednesday night in the presence of several hun dred happy citizens. It was a gala event, and on every hand were heard words of praise and commendation,
 The fire station and equipment rep resent an outlay of about S17.0OO. Fire Chief Hafer announces the ap- pointment of the following men in charge of the station, which will be known as No. T: Arthur Ray captain: Chas. Baumeister, J. M. Gray and Morris Westerfield.
 There were speeches by Judge ]. w. sBlaekwood, Mayor Chas. E Taylor, AL dermen J. P. Streepey, H. O. Mccain, R. C. Powers, Ben D. Briekhouse, and Clio Harper The speakers congrat- ulated the citizens upon having se- cured such q beautiful building, and felicitated them upon the improve ments that are being made in this rap- idly growing section of the city Be fore annexation the annual revenue of Pulaski Heights was about $6,00O a year. This amount would never have enabled the Pulaski Heights adminis- tration to build the fire station or to put in hydrant connections, paved streets, sewer lines or street lights that already are provided for.
 Mayor Taylor made the closing ad- dress and said nothing was too good for the council to give to Pulaski Heights. He also told of the need of adequate fire protection, and said that the present station would serve a use ful purpose
 At the conclusion of Mayor Taylor's address an American flag was raised on the fiagpole in front of the station, and those present sang one stanza of ''rhe StarSpangled Banner" An in- formal reception followed and the vis- itors were showed over the building and served with refreshments
 Musical and recitative numbers were furnished as follows: Two num- bers by quartet consisting of Mrs. Keene Lewis, Mrs. Will Hennfger, Will H. Iaubach and Charles c. McClue, with Miss Joyce Manning, accompan- ist; piano solo, Rustic of Spring" (Sindling), by Miss Adeal Lewis; readings from the poems of James Whitcomb Riley by Mrs. Lillian Hart man Bogart.
 Judge Blackwood spoke in words of the highest commendation of the pub lie spirit of the Little Rock Railway and Electric Company and the work that it has done for the advancement of the interests of Pulaski Heights. Without it's help, the beautiful suburb would have been impossible. It is' giving the people of the Heights an excellent service, and no one should object to holding to a strap during rush hours for little while, when they remember what they had a few years ago. There is a maximum of seven cars on the Pulaski Heights line, and they make 12 miles an hour on the average. They have six additional 1 cars added recently on the whole sys- 1 tenn, and the average speed of the sys- tenn has been increased from IA to 1 3 1-2 miles an hour
