 VESSEL OF FISHERMEN
Parts of Natalie Drift Ashore; Cap-
 tain and Crew Went Down Is Belief

No Two Platoon This Yealy
 Is Chairman Halls Belief

President indications are that 1t will be impossible to provide funds for a two platoon system in the fire department this year, Chairman E. F. Hall of the board of finance and taxation has stated. If all the funds now sought were to be granted, it would require a So-mill tax, MT Hall says, while to reduce to 25 mills will necessitate the looping off of request ed appropriations to the extent of some $45O,000 On this account nothing but maintenance expenses can be thought of this year, MT. Hall explains. The finance board chair man is heartily in accord with the principle of a two platoon and under more favorable financial conditions would favor its adoption this year, he assures.
