Becoming alarmed at the recent de- .
;tructive fires at Lewes, MillsborO and 8
Georgetown, some citizens of Milton
ire making an effort to organize a fire n
It is proposed to purchase h
N automobile fire truck, with a chem u
cal attachment, and erect a concrete
II brick fire house on the lot between h
he stores of J. H. Walls and I. G. 7
King, on South Union street. The pro- h
ects has got no further along than
ak, but meeting of citizens will be Z
allied in few days to decide the mat N
er. The town has a splendid system :,
f water works which, with an eff g
lent fire company, is sufficient for n
he protection of town properties, but r
5 of no value to the surrounding
ountry; hence the motor truck and q,
hemical tanks. There have been sew n,
raj fire companies organized here, +e
ut they failed through lock of inter-
st on the part of individual mem c,
ers. The idea now is to bond the =,
)wn for several thousand dollars IN
18th which to buy the truck and erect
le necessary tuilding. Yet there is n,
1me opposition based on the belief 1o
lat the farmers near here would re- M
Give the full benefit of the protec- +b
on secured and should therefore pay NJ
lie major portion of the cost. An IN
her obstacle is that the fire house
'ected by the firemen in 1903, and do
lmaged by fire recently has been ~,
1t down to One=story building; 70
aving no space for meetings. This
as done by Town Council in spite To
the fact that the building was ~,
ected and given to the town at
st to council of only fOrty-five dol Do
RS, and those who built it are not ro'
sposed to support the present plans. D.
