in the Central Fire Station and he
felt that the department had the
mayor ito thank for that. He felt
that the new piece. now used by
Hose Two and called the Baby
would prove its worth no matter
where it was stationed.
While motorized equipment can be
used at least nine months of the
year in Waterville, he declared that
he would never forget the feeling
that he had at the Fred Wing house
fire few years ago when the chemi-
cal truck became stuck and thus
necessitated the dragging of the
hose over a hundred yards, when he
saw old Colonel and Major" come
swinging around the corner with
Hose Two and their line proved a
property saver at least.
Chief Berry recalled the old time
gatherings of the department which
were held each January q. The
years during the war saw those
gatherings discontinued because ev-
eryone was busy with other matters
and he never had taken the time
to bring the matter to the attention
of the companies again. But he felt
that it would be mighty fine to have
a banquet again and have the bust
ness men set down with the firemen
oEce more.
Assistant Chief Iyers also spoke
in favor of such a gathering and de-
olared that he would like to see all
the companies cooperating in the
matter and have Hose Three and
Four take the same interest in the
social events that they do in the fire
fighting work.
Thomas Delaney. former mem
Der Of the city government and the
fire department committee, declared
that he still kept his interest in the
department and always would. He
declared that what Waterville need
ed most was firemen's mutual
berefit association for now the fire.
men have no protection if they are
injured while at a fire and such pro-
lection is needed very much.
John Intern, clerk of the COM
pany, was introduced as the Oldest
member of the department now in
service and Lieut.. Francis j. Will
SON also spoke briefly, declaring that
tho company always was ready to
Cooperate with the others in any
undertaking.

was glad to be invited to such a
pleasant gathering for he liked the
fellowship displayed and he felt that
1t would be O good thing for the de-
partment IL the companies would get
together in such a fashion once a
wear or II they could not all meet
together to have company dinners.
He thanked the members of the
department for the hearty support
that they had accorded him and he
later included the citizens generally
in this and he wished the depart

year. that they would see a pumper
in the stall at the Central Station
now occupied by the new Ilre Truck
for Hose Two and that the latter
would he put in commission either
at the North End or on the Plains.
Captain Poulin assured the mayor
