City Buys Auto Fire Truck.

The firetruck which was ordered
purchased some time age by the
city council has been purchased and
is now equipped at the Watertown
factory with the apparatus.
The truck is a REQ make and will
be equipped with a chemical tank
and hose. nearly 1000 feet Of
water hose and hooks and ladders.
The total cost will be about So, 900
and will give M,lbank a freight
ing apparatus which will be ad-
equate protection.
The present equipment is entire
ly insufficient to assure the city
protection and only because the
city has been fortunate in not hav-
ing disastrous fire has the matter
been overlooked. The truck will
enable the firemen to get to the
scene Of the fire within a few
minutes after the alarm has been
sounded.

with all the colors of the rainbow.
Also flying fish-these have wings.
and come shooting right out of the
water like an airplane. fly along
over the water and from foot to

right back into the water again.
