q. l.. Chamberlain Alleged to Have
Assaulted William Brock at Gar

and Costs

and costs on a charge of assault and
battery. Chamberlain is alleged to

marks, interspersed with numerous
cuss words, at Brock and to have an
nounced that he had been laying for
him. He is alleged to have started

Fire Situation Discussed at Chamber
of Commerce Meeting-Co-op-
GRAFTON Is Urged

Ii the city council will not CO.
operate with the fire department and
the citizens and give us real fire
fighting equipment, let's load the
obstinate members on the little red
fire wagon which they wished on us
and send them out of town to-
gether. Thus did one of Pullman s
foremost citizens and a past-presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce
pull the trigger on the local fire
situation at the chamber of COM
merce luncheon Tuesday Practical
ly the entire meeting hour was given
over to a discussion of local fire haz-
ards and fire fighting equipment and
the city dads were subjected to a
severe grilling because OF purchase
Of alleged inadequate and inferior
equipment, as we'll as for alleged lack
of cooperation with the fire depart
ment
J. R. Griffith, instructor in civil
engineering at the State College and
an acknowledged fire hazard expert,
dealt with the situation from gem
eral standpoint, and stated that Pull
man is on the verge of national no.
toriety as showing one of the heavi-
est fire losses, per capita, of any
town in the country. Rigid inspec-
ton laws, with investigation follow
ing fires, was suggested by Mr.. Grit
fifth as the first step in improving
the situation. He called attention to
the excellent showing of Moscow,
Idaho, which town, he said, will show
one of the smallest per capita losses
of any town in the Northwest, and
urged that Chief Carl Smith of Mos
COW be invited to address the cham
Der at some early date on the meth
DDS and policies followed in the Idaho
town. Chief Smith is also a member
of the Moscow city council, and close
cooperation between the council and
fire department have resulted in the
attainment of a high degree of eff
cheney from a fire fighting stand
point, with modern and adequate
equipment and a satisfied fire de-
partment.
Mr.. Griffith was for several
months associated with the office of
the state fire marshal of Oregon and
stated that from an appropriation of
500, 900 by the Oregon legislature
for fire prevention and investigation,
two state arson Investigators secured
100000 through confessions follow
ing incendiary fires.
Pullman has had 80 fires since
November 2, 1920, according to Fire

CITY PUTS PRICE ON
LITTLE RED FIRE TRUCK
Offers Truck for 1880 to Dana &
ThorntOn-WOuld Purchase More
Powerful Machine

Definite assurance that the city
council contemplates improvements
in the fire fighting equipment of the
city came Tuesday night when the
council, upon request of Dana &
Thornton, a local engineering firm,
set sale price of $3.50 on the " =
ton fire truck which has proved of
insufficient power to negotiate Pull
mans steep hills. The price set by
the council represents loss of $735
to the city. Dana & Thornton will
endeavor to dispose of the truck,
which is equipped with chemical
tank and other equipment, to some
town where the hills are not SO for
midable. During the past few
months the council has expended
$500 on the truck and fire equip
ment. All of the equipment, how
ever. is not included in the sale offer.

1920, With Corresponding Growth

The increasing prosperity of the
PULLMAN community is mirrored in
the annual report of Manager J. c..
Ruth of the Inland Telephone COM
pany, which shows 55 more tele-
phones at the close of 1921 than
We're reported in 1920, with a CORE
spending increase in the total
amount of toll service. An interest
ing feature of the report, which COW
ers every year from 1915 to 1921,
is the decreased number of tele-
phones used during the war and the
sudden demand for phone service
"hen the war closed, with an in
creasing demand since that time.
The figures for the seven years in
Guided in the report are as follows:

ROAST COUNCIL FOR PURCHASE
OF INADEQUATE FIRE APPARATUS

Chief George Ewing, who stated that
one-half or two-thirds of these would
have been prevented had proper pre-
cautionary measures been taken. He
paid fitting tribute to his % volun-
teer fire fighters but stated that their
work is woefully handicapped
through failure of the city council
to cooperate. He urged closer CO.
operation especially in the matter of
the purchase OF equipment.
Assistant Chief Leon K. Martini
stated that cooperation is the reason
for Moscow's success and the lack
OF cooperation the reason for Pull
mans failure to effect an efficient
fire fighting system. Here we have
no equipment and no cooperation, >"
he said. I'VE can't get to fire as
fast as we used to with the old
equipment. l can take you to over
half dozen places where the water
barely runs through the nozzle, yet
the council says we don't need a
pressure pump.
M. j. Chapman, D. f. Staley and
William Porter, local insurance
agents, discussed the situation from
the standpoint of the companies and
urged closer cooperation with the
fire department and a more general
inclination on the part of the citizens
to keep their premises clean and free
from fire hazards. Pullman can not
expect a relief from high insurance
rates until her record is improved,
was the opinion expressed by the in
surance men. Mr.. Staley secuted the
idea Of incendiarism as the cause OF
the four fires Wednesday and Thurs
day nights, claiming that piles of
rubbish might have been the cause
of all of them. His view is not
shared by the majority of citizens,
however.
The discussion brought ridicule to
the city fire truck, which has not
sufficient power to negotiate the hills
in the residence districts and which
was mentioned as pretty wagon
for Fourth of July parades.' The
council was also raped for purchase
of fire hose which, it was alleged,
will not stand the pressure from
some of the fire hydrants, and for
negotiating for the purchase of
fire siren which does not meet the
approval of the fire department, even
after the department had agreed to
give its entire yearly appropriation,
$500, toward the purchase of the
siren which they desired.
The discussion will probably lead
to action by the chamber toward Sc
curing an accurate survey of the city
from fire hazard standpoint and
cooperation with the fire depart
ment toward improving the equip
ment and the organization.

Ions remain the same but that the
charge for additional water be 20
cents per 1000 gallons. He also rec

same as other users, and that the
use of water for power be forbidden.
