NOT TO REOPEN
FIRE BUILDING
City Commissioners Claim Petition
of No Avail Although Document
Is Being Signed.

It is understood that citizens re-
siding in the vicinity of the fire sta
ton on Thirtieth street and Fiji
teenth avenue are circulating a pc
tition to submit TO the city in an
endeavor to have the station re-
opened
The building was closed about a
week ago due to the city plan for
retrenchment. Date for the clos
ing of this station was set for July
Is. but as two firemen have re-
signed from the force, causing a
shortage of men, it was decided TO
close the station before the time
scheduled.
It is inferred from conversation
with city commissioners today that
an attempt to have the station re-
/ opened will be unsuccessful as the
city had not the money to maintain
/ this unit of the fire department
Further reasons We're given by the
/ commissioners as being the reluc-
lance of the citizens to vote the in
+ creased tax to maintain the city
departments on the same basis as
before the revenue was Curtailed
/ which procedure forced the city tC
/ take the steps now being enacted.

Death of James Lennon.

James c. Lennon died at the
family residence at an early hour
last Friday morning, Feb. IS. Mr..
Lennon had been a sufferer for
some time from asthma, which as
sumed serious nature during his
residence in the Canal Zone.
The deceased had been i'll bust
ness for several years at Rolla, N.
D., but left there in 1914 for the
Canal Zone to assume a position
with the government as superin-
tendent of construction work at
Balboa. Last fall, due to his
health failing, he was given a six
ty-day leave of absence. During
that time he returned to the States
and spent part of the time visit
ing at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Emil Kraus, at Crawling, Mich.
After his return to Balboa he found
that the climate only aggravated
his ailment so he left the first week
in December. He visited at the
home of his sister, Mrs. ]. NJ. o.
Brien, at Milwaukee, during the
Christmas season. From there he
left for the west, accompanied as
far as Minneapolis by his nephew,
Lennon O'Brien. His brother,
William T., visited him at Rolla
the first week in January and they
returned home together. His sis
tiers. Mrs. O'Brien and Miss Anal,
were called home a week before his
death, but as he rallied later and
as there seemed to be no immediate
danger of his dying then, they re-
turned to Milwaukee and Menomo-
ME respectively. They were call
ed back on Friday by the an
nouncement of his death.
Funeral services were held on
Monday at nine O'Clock from St.
Mary's church, Rev. Father Klopp

ed is survided by his mother, Mrs.
