PLAN TO MOTORIZE
 FIRE DEPARTMENT

Experiments are now being carried out at the central fire station which, if they conclude in satisfactory man. ner, are expected to terminate in the decision by the city council to trans form the hook and ladder truck into .autoIlobile apparatus, by using the engine and chassis of a Ford or other automobile as the motive power.
 The matter has been under con- sideration for some time, the idea Of Chief Briener, Mayor Bloom and other city authorities being that such automobile apparatus will be less ex- pensive to maintain than is the team of horses now in use for drawing this apparatus. It is figured that the automobile apparatus can make bet ter time answering alarms, can get started just as quickly, can travel 2 greater distance, at considerably less expense. Horses have to be fed every day, whether they answer an alarm or not, while the automobile apparatus will consume fuel oil only when it is actually going somewhere-Or return- ing. At the present high price of feed, it is expected big saving will result. The horses now used to haul the hook and ladder truck may be sold by the city, or may be turned over to the street department, where greater facilities are needed because of the growing demands being made upon that department.
 The truck was mounted upon a Ford chassis yesterday afternoon, and made a spin, in order that the fire chief and other city officials might see the manner in which the ar 'rangement will work Further such trial spins are to be made within the next few days, and upon the result of these will depend the report to be made to the city council, and it's de- cisiOn in the matter.

SEEKING SITE FOR AUDITORIUM
 AND THEATRE
Chamber of Commerce Com mittee Certain Project
 Will Go Thru.

So firmly established is the belief m the successful and early outcome of the plans for the erection of the audltorlum-opera house building in this city that the chamber of com merce committee in charge of the af- falr yesterday issued a call for own CTS of desirable sites for such build ing to tender such sites to the com mittee, stating at the same time the lowest figure they will consider in payment of same.
 The committee held a lengthy and enthusiastic conference yesterday aft ernoOn. The original committee was composed of President H. l. Holder ness and Secretary E. B. Bloom of the chamber of commerce, Mayor Simon Bloom. Leo M. Andrews and Clarence 1 Philpot. So important was the mat ter, and so large the project, that the l committee has been enlarged by the
 appointment of four additional mem
 bers, these being R. Fl. Stearns. \. J. l Can't IT,, J. C. White and Thurman ! Louthan.
 l The full membership of the enlarged
 committee was present at the confer
 ence yesterday and also present were | the architects, Messrs. Selligman and I Matthews The different members of the committee offered suggestions,
 which will be embodied in the plans
 and hlueprints being prepared by the l architects, and when adjournment was l taken it was with the decision to meet again within the next three or four
 days. when the blueprints are ready T for submission to the committee.
 In asking for tenders of sites to be 1 purchased by the committee and on
 which the proposed new building is to be erected, the committee announced l that no site will be considered which T is less than 80 feet in frontage and l 154 feet in depth, and that central
 locations must be considered an es- j sential Members of the committee made plain their individual and col I lective belief that there is virtually no l doubt that the project will be carried I through to successful termination, I particularly because there is such j great need for such a building here l and the financial burden is so light.
