LACK OF FUNDS TO
FURTHER REDUCE
FIRE PARTMENT
Underwriters Engineer to Ask
Council to Have Apparatus
Kept Fit.
DIFFICULTIES MULTIPLY

Why city council has refused to make
sufficient appropriations to the various
companies of the fire department, in order
that the mechanical efficiency of the de-
partment may not deteriorate, pending
the discussion over paid department,
will be one of the questions that will be
brought before council in a committee of
the whole at q meeting tonight.
That the department Is sadly deficient
mechanically bee ause lack of funds to keep
apparatus in proper shape, was one of the
interesting points brought out at meeting
of the presidents and representatives OF
eleven of the fire companies last night
which was attended by J. III. Rowland,
engineer of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters who is here making survey
of fire fighting conditions here.
Mr.. Rowland was told that in addition
to ladder truck which the Phoenix
Company it is said, intends to retire from
service next month because council has
cut the appropriation asked for, there
are others that may be cut out-an engine
by the Reliance Company. This move it
is said is due to the same reason that
prompts the action Of the Phoenix Com
pany-lack Of funds.
This development adds still more to the
seriousness of the present situation in the
minds of the Underwriters, because if it

SELL S67 900 BONDS
FOR B..& D. BRIDGE
Money is Due Contractor for I'm
provements All Small Sub
scriptions.

Individual subscribers made short
work of the S67 900 County bond issue,
foated for the purpose of paying for the
improvements made in the old Baltimore
and Ohio railroad bridge. The Chamber
of Commerce committee which had charge
of floating the bonds was rather surpris-
ed at the ease with which it was accom-
plished.
The manner in which the citizens took
the issue is construed as meaning that
they realize the Importance to the city
of the bridge improvements. and were
willing to push along a good thing.
All the money realized on the sale of
the bonds, it is understood, is due the
contractor, and had the issue failed of
purchase at par, an embarrassing situa-
tion would doubtless have resulted with
a deficit not provided for in the tax levy.
The completion of the bridge opens
a new avenue TO the north side of the city
and will take care of traffic which normally
passes over the Washington street bridge
when the latter is open
The Chamber of Commerce committee

Roosevelt Ceremony August g;
Campaign Will Then Get
Into Full Swing.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

BY Associated Press 10 Every Evening
Columbus Ohio, july 21.-The Dem
ocrats' campaign craft was under nearly
full sail today with what Governor Cox
characterizes as a new captain, George
II White, the new chairman of the Ma
tional Committee and campaign manager.
Mr. White, former Ohio Congressman,
and assistant manager of the Cox conven-
tion campaign, was elected yesterday,
succeeding Homer ). Cummings, of Con-
necticut.
Dates for the notification of Governor
Cox and Franklin d. Roosevelt have been
set tentatively for August and g respec-
lively.
Travelling itineraries of both candi-
dates are being planned to begin immedi-
ately after the notifications.
Campaign policies are becoming crystal
lized as a result of the National Committee
meeting and Governor Cox's address in
which he charged the Republicans with
raising a campaign fund sufficient to
stagger the sensibilities of the nation.
