FUND TO CARE FOR
F|RENEN'S WIDOWS
Movement to Use Proceeds of
Sale of Equipment for
That Purpose.

A memorial fnud 10 care for the wild
ows of deceased members Of the volun-
teer fire companies has been proposed
by Liberty Fire Company. and il is said
the movement is gaining strong support
in other companies.
The buildings and all equipments Of
az the companies will be for sale after
August 81. when their contract with
the city expires. and the paid fire de-
partment comes into being.
II is said that the plan has been pro-
posed by which the widows of volunteer
firemen are TO benefit, is that when the
buildings and equipment are sold, the
widows be allowed TO share prorata
with members of the companies in the
distribution Of the proceeds. 1t is said
that this plan would not in any great
degree lessen the share Of members of
the companies. and would be of great
help to many of the widows of members
who have died.
From the time of the incorporation
of the Friendship Fire Company, the
first volunteer company in the city, up
TO the present upon the decease or dis
missal of a member, his claim to any
rights in the corporation ceased, it be-
ing understood that in the event of
dissolution the living members only
would be entitled to sha in the dis
position of the company's tssests. Most
of the older companies have a member
ship of from so to rs, while some of the
younger organizations only number
from IS to 40 members. Several of the
older companies ceased taking in new
members years ago, and especially has
this been true since the agitation for a
paid fire department started. IL Is un-
derstood the heirs or assignees of a
deceased member have no claim on the
assets Of any of the fire companies.
For years past the families of de
ceased members have been assisted by
the Volunteer Firemen's Relief Asso-
citation in defrayins funeral expenses
Of members of the volunteer depart
ment TO the amount OF 500, and the
act creating a paid department carries
with it an appropriation of $4,000 to |
the association to enable IL to continue |
its relief for volunteer veterans.

was in the store and the loss is ex-
pected to total $4,000. The building
IS complete wreck, the brick walls
