Will Consider Plans For Uni
form Plugs For All Towns
in the Valley

Fire fighters from all towns in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley will meet
in Brownsville on Friday, November
Is, for one days session in which
important matters in connection with

mems Assubciation for the South
Texas district.
s'The recent instance in which the
Donna and Mercedes departments
went to the aid Of the little town Of
Weslaeo when it was threatened with
destruction is an indication of what
the Valley towns can do for each
other in the event of serious eonfla-
grations," Mr.. Kowalski said. s'It Is
Mr.. Mentions hope to so organize the
Valley towns fire departments that
equipment of one town may be sent
TO another and hook up lines without
trouble.
I'm this connection one Of the first
steps will be the establishment Of fire
plugs Of standard size in each town.
80 that the equipment of each town
viii fit the plugs Of every other town.
We believe that such installation viii
result in an appreciable reduction in
the fire insurance rate for all of the
towns. We also hope TO interest the
railroad company which will be asked
to hold two flat cars at central points
which may be made Immediately av-
ailable for the hauling Of fire appar-
atus from one town to another. Load
ing platforms would also have to be
available"

written to prominent fire fighting
