London, Sept. 25.-A fake message

FIRE TRUCK DISORDERS

Council Votes to Advertise for
Bids on Modern Equipment
With Privilege That All May
be Rejected.

The fire truck now used by the PEN
dleton fire departmeBt must be replac-
! ed bya new and up-to-date vehicle,
the report of the fire committee of
| the city council, presented last night,
| declares. The efficiency of the de-
partment is being interfered with by
the condition of the present truck the
committeeman report.
As "A means Of ascertaining costs on
"A new fire truck the council voted to
advertise for bids with the UNDER
standing that any and all might be re-
jected. Bidders are to be asked to
place their exchange value upon the
Seagrave truck now in use.
See Modern Equipment Need
Although no provision was made in
the 1920 budget for new fire appara-
tus of such description the council
men agreed that there probably was
need for the modern equipment. The
present truck was purchased in Sep
tember 1913 when fire trucks were

up, the committeeman told the coun-
ell.
The report recommends that the
truck needed should have a pump of
from 500 to 500 gallons per minute
capacity. This size pump is required II
owing to the low water pressure on
the north and south hills in summer.
Cost Near $500
Delivery on a fire truck would take
probably six months, the report shows
and one condition of the contract. If

Estimates w5-o received from the =,

ion.
