'ew or them are serious, some day there may be a big blaze and when the fire department is called to fight It, 1t will be handicapped without the aid of proper apparatus.
 The present truck is in good shape but has done it's duty With the ad {. dition Of a new one and enough so foot ladders and hose lengths, the peo pie of the town would need have lit- tie fear of fire destroying their homes through negligence of the taXpayers not to vote for the apparatus needed.
 The cost of the necessary apparatus VIII not be large, Chairman Skelley will explain to the people this eve ming. It will mean hut slight addi- ton to the present tax rate.
 flalnville is now listed in the in surance companies as d ID" town Ihat means that the insurance risk or the town is very bad. considering the fire fighting apparatus and the distance of hydrants from each other There is no doubt but that anothe, 'ruck would aid in eliminating the town from this low rating by the in surance companies and the taxpayers would save money in this manner
 Every citizen is urged by the town ofnclals to vote for the new apparatus and thus safeguard their homes.
