City Treasurer. c. w. Green last

from the North Dakota Firemen's As
ISOLATION, this being the pro rata due
the Devils Lake Fire Department out
of the amount of insurance premiums
collected in the city during the past
two years. This money for 1920 was
held up for some reason or other, and
check for two years was sent at
one time. The fire department here
is one of the best in the state, and
like all other enterprising institutions
will be able to make good use of this
money in making itself even more eff
cient.
