MAKES REPORT
Recommends Improvements and
Changes in Department

SOUTH AAiBOY, Jan. 1j:-Chicf
OF the Fire Department Walter Smith
has made a number of important
recommendations to the fire COM
mittee Of the Common Council.
These recommendations were adj
dressed to the council as a whole
and later referred by that body TO
the fire committee.
Chief among the recommendations
is hat a merit system" be establish
ed instead of the present method of
paying the members of the depart
ment. Under the present ruling a
man, whether or To- present at the
majority of the fires, at the end of
the year the same amount of
money as the fellow that has been
present at every call.
He recommended hat the Selden
fire apparatus purchased some time
ago by the city be placed in the GUS
tody of the Independence Hose Com
pany No. /. For some time past
there has been a dispute as to who
owns the fire engine. Up until pres
ent, however, no one company has
been designated SO consequently the
apparatus has not been kept in Al
condition.
He recommended that a fire alarm
signal box be placed at the corner
of Henry and Roosevelt streets. The
former chief made the same recon-
mendation but no action has been
taken.
He recommended that q stove be
purchased and placed in the house
of the Protection Engine Company.
John j. Donahue, chief of the fire
department at the Government Ord
nance Depot at Morgan, has placed
at the disposal of the city the COM
plete equipment and men of the
Morgan plant. These men are well
trained and well equipped and are
able to cope with most any situation.
The city has accepted this offer and
in return has offered to assist the

MAYOR OF WACO DEDI.
GATES A PLAY GROUND
FOR NEGROES.

| Waco, Texas, Dec. 23.-The South
Waco Colored Public School Of which
r. q. Bevis is principal. has every
reason to be proud OF the splendid
playground equipment that has re-
Gently been ens.alled. This school
though one Of the youngest in the
city, has grown by leaps and bounds
so to speak. Having been equipped
through the efforts OF the principal
teachers, pupils and Mothers Club
with almost all of the accessories OF
very modern school on the inside;
attention was turned last fall to the
campus which by the way, is said
| to be one of the most beautiful
among all Of the city schools OF
Waco. Feeling that Negro children
need every opportunity to develop
physically. as well as mentally, a
drive was launched to secure for the
campus few pieces OF steel play
ground equipment. 1t seemed like
a big undertaking for this small
school; they were determined. A Sc
ries Of room rallies were held which
in three months time Melted SIP.
Then city-wide campaign was
launched by the principal and as a
result at its close early in March
a little less than 5000 had been rails
ed.
Chief among the contributors to
this fund, and one which was almost
unprecedented, was a gift of One
Hundred and Fifty Dollars by the
City Commission. Unfortunately Wa
co has no City Park for Negroes as
have some of our larger cities This
fact coupled with a new spirit to
give Negro citizens more of their
just deserts, made possible this gift
and MOI only did it make this gift
to this school possible, but it
has paved the way for more play
grounds for Negro children in Waco
in the near future.
With the funds collected the fol-
lowing equipment was purchased and
installed for the pleasure Of the
children OF Waco
One thirty foo. slide, two strides,
one six seat swing, one tennis outfit,
one basketball outfit, three hand
balls, one voIley ball set. one walk
ing ladder and base ball equipment.
On the 9Th Of December this Play
ground was dedicated to the Negro
Children OF Waco by his honor,
Mayor Ben c, Richards. who spoke
in very high terms Of the efforts
that had been made and encouraged
other sections OF the city to follow
the lead of the South Waco District
