conference of the two local fire
companies and a committee repre-

gestef. fire ordinance drawn up by
Borough Attorney Wesley Bremen
was read and indicated a feeling
that the proposed ordinance provid-
ed only for the supervision of the
fire companies by the borough. brs
not the anticipated amalgamation
into the borough administration.
While most of those present were
of the opinion that the suggested
ordinance was a step in the right
direction, the firemen held that the
provision of the ordinance did not
sven include the acquisition of neo-
essary fire apparatus needed for. the
borough. The delegates OF the two
FIRE companies declared that the
only benefit they would derive from
the supervision is the help from
state fire relief fund. The ordi-
name proposed the naming of a fire
