< OAINlEAs1ON
 The loading of big motor trucks, bound for Akron, O., with tire fabric for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, proceeded apace at local fabrics mills during Thursday. Some of the trucks took on loads at the Connecticut Mills in Danielson and others were loading at Goodyear. Many of them got away for Ohio dur ing the day, and others will follow during today (Friday).
 Seventeen trucks that were reported in the Westerly news in The Bulletin of Thursday as being in that place Wednesday were bound for Danielson, as part of the fleet of 100 great ve- hicles that are going to make the trip. These trucks are owned by Callan Brothers of New York, which has supplied a heavy percentage of the trucks that are to make the trip that has created so much interest throughout eastern Connecticut.
 Just at noon Thursday, the fire de- partment was called out by an alarm from Box 23 for blaze at the Dan ielson garage, where one of the fleet of busses operated by c. H. Pellett caught fire when the motor was started to make a regular noon day trip. It was later stated that the motor back-fired and ignited gas feeding into the tank. The bus was in the garage at the time, but it was quickly backed out into the street, as the front end of the machine burst out in flames. The body of the bus was materially damaged before the blaz- ing gasoline could be extinguished. Many who gathered to see the fire received a wetting as they>got in the way of streams of water being used by the fire department.
 Chief Engineer A. p. Woodward of the fire department has been request | ed by borough officials to submit a | new pay schedule for memb trS of | the Danielson fire department, which is the poorest paid of any in town | of like size in the state. It is under stood that the warden and court of bur | gesseS will give friendly considera- 1 tion to a request of department mem bers for more money for the import ant service which they render each year. At the present time members l regulars-of the volunteers companies | get only $10 a year. The honorary members, who often work as hard as regulars at the fire get their exer- else for their efforts. It is generally conceded that the paid members are | entitled to at least more than $10 { 1 year and announcements of a new
 schedule of pay may be looked fol
 in the near future,
