couucilmen Favor white Truck.

Sentiment seems to be developing in
this city favorable to the purchase OF
one Of the fire trucks manufactured by
the White company and present indica-
lions are that this is the make of fire
fighting apparatus which will ultimately
be purchased. All who have taken pains
to make an investigation Of the per-
forrnances Of this machine have found
its record favorable, and it's performance
I'D to the requirements. Among the cit
liens there seems to be sentiment de-
veloping that a machine Of three hum
dred and fifty gallons capacity Is not
large enough to supply what Is needed,
and several have ventured the opinion
that council should set the limit high
enough to permit Of the purchase OF
machine similar to the one marufac-
tured by the American La France com.
pany with n capacity Of seven hundred
and fifty gallons. as this type Of ma
chine would throw at least two good
streams Of water. whereas the proposed
machine will throw only one.
