would cost about $4,000 8 year to
run a paid department which would
be practically 100000 above present
cost. This would not mean an extra
70 cents a hundred for taxes but
about 30 cents at the highest. The
question is whether we want a paid
department at an increased cost or
increased insurance rates on real es-
tate, furniture, personal property, etc.
Another thing that seems to have
been forgotten is that should City

fire companies Will not sign new con-

payroll and killing a man at South
Braintree, Mass.
SaccO and Nanzetta were friends OF
'Salsedo. When first arrested, they
