FIRE COM PAN|ES SAID
TO Be READY TO SELL
Inability to Meet Expenses With
Appropriation Said tobe Bring
ing City Ownership Near.

The report that the Weccacoe Fire
Company was seriously considering offer
ing to sell its equipment TO the city, be
cause Of the fact that the annual appro-
priation by Council was inadequate to
meet it's expenses, has revived the talk Of
a paid fire department by the city to take
the place Of the volunteer system.
II Is said that the same conditions exist
with the other companies, and that now
Is the time for the champions of a paid
FIRE department TO make a move.
The executive board of the Wilmington
Fire Department will have q meeting on
February Il, a which time this question
and the general question OF finances in
relation to the companies viii be discussed.
1t is reported that a sentiment III favor of
selling to the city Is more general among
the members OF the department now than
it has ever been before.
II is said that several of the companies
have been obliged TO resort TO dances
and entertainments IN order TO raise
money enough TO meet DEFICIENCIES in ex-
penses, including the cost of repairs to
equipment The feeling is that tie drivers
and fremen are undergrad, but it is not
possible to pay them more out OF the ap-
received from Council.
