Jesse A. Mckay is Nominal
ed for Presidency of Fire
Company
WILL PURCHASE
SUCTION PUMP
Special to The Evening Journal.

monthly meeting OF the Good VIII
Fire Company was held in the par
lors Of the fire house last evening
with President Theodore w. Caven-
der presiding. A new 300-gallon
Hale combination suction pump will
be installed on the REQ chassis. The
awarding OF the contract was left in
the hands OF the board OF directors.
Two estimates were read, the United
states Fire Apparatus Company bid
ding s1,1OO OF about $50 higher than
its competitor. The offer of the
United States Company to install
more than 500 worth of extra
equipment makes their bid much
the lower. and IL is probable the
contract for the pump will be award
ed to that company.
1t was at first proposed TO remove
the chemical equipment. but after
discussing the possibilities OF this
equipment being frequently called
into use, where tho water stream
would not be necessary, IL was de-
cided last night TO not have 1t re-
moved. The company has nearly
enough to pay in full for the new
equipment.
Following the report OF the mask
ed ball committee, which showed ar
actual profit from the dance OF last
Monday evening OF $201, the Nom
beers went into the nomination OF
officers. The election will be held
ut the December meeting and the
