|GREAT SAVING
| ON FIRE TRUCK
Figures Given out Today BY John An.
derson. Chief Of Fire Depart
ment. Compare Truck
With Horses.
IN USE SEVEN MONTHS
Estimated Saving for That Period Is
Sss5-Wm Mean $s75 for
Full Years
Time.
IN USE SEVEN MONTHS

According to figures given out to
day by John Anderson. chief OF the
! fire department the new FIRE truck
has not only been an economical ad-
dftion to the fire fighting apparatus OF
the city as compared with the two
teams it took the place of, but is
making rapid strides toward paying
for itself.
The truck was placed in service on
June Is. 1915, and will have been
used seven months on the eighteenth
period OF time was $40, or approx
mateiy sixty-five cents day.
The upkeep OF the two teams would
have been $3.50 a day at the lowest,
which would have made $525 for the
seven months. The difference be-
tween $525 and $14O is what was
saved by tho truck, a total OF 1886.
With the same figures for q base.
the annual cost to run the truck will
be $40. while that of the two teams
would have been $912.5O. The saving
for the year will therefore be 1915.
The $3.50 day cost for the two
teams only takes into consideration
the feed alone while other possible
expenditures from bedding, wear and
tear on harness, veterinary calls, ETC.,
are not counted in SO that the $3.50
represents the lowest possible figure.
The truck has run 421 miles since
it was put in commission. Actual
runs to fires and back covered 105
miles. The rest was on tests and otn-
er runs not connected with fires.
There is a general average OF four
runs week of two miles each. max
ing eight miles a week. Considering
the cost of running the truck and that
of two teams, the cost OF running a
mile with the former has been fifty
seven cents, while a mile with the
teams cost $500.

New Confectionery Store.

The secret is out and we are
pleased to announce new bust
ness concern for Arvada. There
have been many rumorS as to
what was going into the new
Davis corner store and everyone
has been guessing, but all were
wide of the mark. 1t has now
been learned for certainty that
a confectionery store, strictly
modern, will occupy the corner
and c. II. Buck with his daugh-
ter Leila and son Robert, will be
the owners. An -to-date So
da fountain will be installed and
intentions are to have it ready
for business by June lst. Miss
Suck is just graduatingfrom the
department of Domestic Science
at the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege and is a most capable and
ambitious young lady with pleas
ing manner and no doubt will
make many business friends.
Robert attends the Aryada High
school and will spend his vaca-
ton assisting in the store. The
new corner is a good location for
such a business and we predict
for them success.

scarcely as much as Arvada had
under existing conditions.
This fact can be easily account
for in this way. Aurora is not
as attractive as Arvada as q res
idence town and further more
we are informed it has a heavy
water taxation hanging over it
which discourages investors. AS
to Fairmount it has a cemetery
and a tuberculosis sanitarium as
its advertising features both of
which repel rather than invite
home builders, and aside from
this the land is arid and the irri-
cation facilities limited-two
very unfavorable conditions,
while Arvada has all the verdure
and water, all the landscape, the
air, the people, the churches,
the schools, the soil, the water
and lighting systems and every
thing to induce people to build
homes.
These are facts that Mr.. Hid
probably has not had the time to
assimilate in his six months con-
nection with the company.
Nevertheless, Notwithstanding
a depressing picture painted by
Mr.. Hid from an operative
standpoint he agreed to do some-
thing for Arvada on three prop
ositions: First to put doors on
Arvada cars to keep out the cold
and to keep the Denver people
off the express cars. Second, to
consider the building of a line
up into Arvada and possibly thru
Arvada to the tire factory and
on to Leyden via the brick plant.
Third. to make some concessions
in fare, at least for those who
work in Denver The object
will be to give better service in
every practical way-and he
promised to give a final answer
within ten days or not later than
two weeks. Hurrah! For we
believe in Mr.. Hid and believe
the audience did.
Gov. Smith also made a pleas
ing speech assuring the audience
of the splendid achievements Of
Mr.. Hid since his connection
with the company and that he
was a man to be relied on to do
the hest thing for all concerned.
Mr.. Smith expressed much en-
thusiasm over the prospect of
extending the line thru town, as
it would be so much more desir-
able for their sight seeing car.

Messrs. West and Casey also
made short talks and all furnish
ed much entertainment by their
humorous stories.
The meeting adjourned with
the most cordial feeling toward
our guests and we feel that Ar
vada's day of great things is
daWning. =

President Maloney called the
meeting to order and called on a
number of citizens to give some
reasons why Arvada should be
entitled to a five cent fare.
C. V. jackson was the first
speaker, representing commit

should have a five cent fare, and
Mr.. White in particular enlight-
ened the new Tramway official
upon the status of relations as
they have existed between the
tramway and the people of Ar
vada since the building Of the
tramway thru our town. Much
of this was a revelation to Mr..
Hid and he at once decided to
bring about more mutual rela-
tions.
Mr.. Hid is one of those unas-
suming, genial and at the same
tine sincere men, personally and
when Invited to speak the audi
ence at once assumed a most cor
dial and responsive attitude.
His remarks were in reality les
son in economics concerning the
relations of the public. the en-
ploye and the corporation to
each other. He illustrated his
subject by using the triangle
showing that each side was or
should be equal in order that all
might gain mutual benefits. He
showed how they must be
brought to point Of co-opera-
ton so that the public would get
the required service, the employe
would get a fair and equitable
wage and the stockholders Of the
utility should get a reasonable
profit on their investment.
He gave data to show how the
passenger traffic OH the Denver
Tramway had fallen off the last
few years, largely because of
the ever increasing automobile
traffic and how that with the
growth of Denver's business
center the long and short haul
had been affected. As the bust.

Improbable and the latter which

cutting out the intermediate
traffic from the town center to
the suburb.
He also made a distinction be-
tween the city traffic and the
railroad traffic as he claims Ar
yada's S line to be.
One comparisou Dir. Hid made,
however. regarding Fairmount,
Aurora and Englewood which
have five cent fares, and Arva-
