the new equipment that has been
recently received at the arsenal.
The exhibition was viewed by
about thirty-fve spectators from
the tri-cities, including the mayors
OF each city, who were there at the
invitation Of Colonel Jordan, whose
plan is to get the fire departments
OF the tri-cities and Rock Island
arsenal to work together. so that
Ia case of a confiagration in any
one city, all the departments can
act in coordination.
Shire has just recently returned
from the fire college in New York,
having a diploma Of graduation.
Inc first event TO be shown was
the answer Of an alarm. in which
the department arrived at the
scene and had stream of water
with 40 pounds pressure on in the
excellent time Of minutes and 40
seconds, and three more streams
were going within a few seconds.

After the practice run, display

days Mr.. Schriver stated that it
not only makes the department
more efficient, but the training that
a man will receive is something
worth while.
With every fireman trained in
the same manner. the tri-cities
would have four fire departments
surpassed by none.
