For Purchase of New Equipment:
Urge Hearty support

Approval of the campaign OF the
Lynden Volunteer Fire Department
to raise funds for the purchase OF an
auto truck, was given at meeting of
business men at the City Hall Tues
day night. Nearly two hundred dol
lars was subscribed at the meeting,
and a committee was named to work
with the firemen in completing the
fund.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that the purchase of suitable truck
would mean the reduction of fire ins-
urance premiums of approximately
five per cent. The meeting recon-
mended that the property owners
and business men subscribe to the
fund at least ten per cent OF their
annual insurance premiums.
The Tribune next week will put
lish a report of the condition of the
truck fund, together with a list of
