AS the year ends, another begins
. with settled custom to take stock
l. just at this time of the year, 1928,
whose early months found us with 800
feet OF fire hose, 10 years old on 2 two
, wheel hose carts, some ladders on a
truck, axes and lanterns and about
$4,000 in the treasury.
An effort by the firemen to create a
supreme confidence with the citizens
OF our town resulted in raising ST.
9OO6O, with which we have purchased
800 feet of double jacket hose and a
3-horse power electric siren and made
improvements to the fire house, in
GLIDING cement floors, and installing
heat and have in the treasury of the
department, $625.S4, and with the aid
of our Town Council, together with
small bond issue, have been able to
secure a REQ fire engine, with Hale
pump and also liquidated the mort
gage on the fire house.
The firemen have examined all fire
hydrants, oiled and put leather caps

progress and the firemen have some
thing to show for their honest endeaV- |
or to have a modern equipped fire de-
partment.

fire, namely: VIM. Willen, Carl Graef,
B. P. Jones, two chimney fires, Mrs.
Hill and Robert Sedgwick and two out
of town calls, Seaford and Cannons.
