$3.50. The machine will be delivered
here inside. of so days. 1t is 10
horse power machine. 1t will un-
douDtedly prove great protection to
the city, as great majority of the
fires can be put out with the chemi-
Gals, instead of throwing water. The
latter ruins a great deal of property,
as well as fire. The buying Of this
machine will necessitate the services
of two paid firemen on the job all
the time at the city hall, we under
stand, to be ready to take the ma
chine out the minute an alarm is
turned in. Besides the chemical,
which is used most extensively at
ahe fires, the machine carries some
1900 feet Of hose also. which is put
into use in case the chemical cannot
put the fire out.
