thus giving them an hour to respond to
any alarm that may come in on the bor-
0uxh's advanced time-then naively re-

Another week, in all probability, will
see the fire departments new motorized

painting work is practically completed
excepting the putting on of the gold

would have been finished this week.
The modernized ladder outfit will be
hauled by a departmentized Cadillac
which has been through an extended
course Of revamping to fit for the service
IN which hereafter It is to be engaged
Also the rear wheels that have served
on the ladder truck which formerly was
horse-drawn will be replaced by a pair
Of heavy wheels with 3-inch rubber
tires.
