Charities Board
Discusses Several
Proposed Changes
In the Statutes

Proposed legislation affecting the
State department of charities and
corrections was considered at a
meeting Of the State charities board
held on Tuesday Of this week.
It was voted to request the SIND
Legislature to amend Chapter Ga,
Section 80, Of the Revised Statutes
by striking out the words "any town
or county," thus placing on the State
the responsibility to collect expen-
ses from parents of children in GUS
tody. Such collections are to be adj
ded to the regular State appropria-
ton.
Another proposed measure would
provide that whenever 1t Is necessary
for q court to commit child, that it
be committed to an individual or to
tho State and not to any private
child placing society. AS the law
now stands any municipal judge may
commit child to q private childrens
society and the State Charities and
Corrections board must pay the bills
Of that child. It Is the belief Of the
Charities board that private chill
dren's societies should take care OF
the temporary cases.
DR., c.. F. Kendall. State commiss-
ioper Of health. was present at the
meeting and made three definite sug-
Kestions: LIST, that every boarding
house and institution under the su-
pervision of the board be inspected
by the State Department Of health as
to its sanitary conditions; End, that
each child In an institution or or
phanage or in the custody of the

seventy-nve years ago. July 4, 1s49,
the first hand fire engine muster was
held at Bath, Me. Two of the five en-
glnes in that muster have been con-
slant attendants at musters and from
the same town ever since, the Tiger of
HaIlowell and Hec1a Of Randolph, the
two oldest muster engines now in ex-
istence.
The Tiger is the Oldest fire engine in
service in the country. 1t was made
for Hallowell in 1886 and for Sc years
has been located there. There are
many older hand engines in existence
but none Of them have been in service
for many years and most Of them are
kept in museums and elsewhere as
relics.
The Tiger was made by Zimmerman OF
Boston, who made hand and team fire
engines from 1892 to 1885, 1t was
made few years after suction en-
gines were invented and does not pos
sess all the improvements Of those
made later on including most OF those
used at musters since they commenced.
1t is a second class machine with cyl
inders 1916 inches in diameter,
which is the best size for service but
too small to successfully compete with
most Of the engines which have al
ways been Prize winners and best rec
ord machines Of musters including
Zimmerman engines.

HAND FIRE ENGINE TIGER ONE
OF TWO OLDEST IN EXISTENCE
ASL0NG STRING VICTORIES

! Because Of its age, size and con-
struction the Tiger has not been as
great a muster winner as most Of its
competitors, but its company has al
ways been one Of the best Of losers. 1t
has never been discouraged by defeat
nor over elated by victory. 1t has
never desired to possess q better mus
ter engine as many other organizations
with engines not always among the
winners, have done. It has always
been loyal to the old Tiger. 1t Is q
love Of the sport more than prizes and
victory that induces 1t to participate
in musters. 1t has done as much to
promote musters and keep them alive
as any other organization.
The Tiger during its IS years OF
musters has ben a contestant in ~ or
them, has won "a prizes. total OF
s1455. It's best muster play Is z10
feet ! inch. Its complete muster rec
ord follows: All it's musters have
been in Maine where most musters are
classed at six inch cylinder engines.
The Tiger in 81 has been in the second
class and won the first prize in five OF
them. It's record here is in both
classes combined. It's position ng-
ures S in S, etc, indicate that its play
placed it fifth in list Of five engines

Halt Predicted
County Auditor Harry Dunn Tues
day intimated the work might be
halted because the county board Of
commissioners have refused to ap.
propriate S175,O0O as a part of the
county's share of the cost.
Elmer Williams, board Of works

Of Dunn that the board acquired
unnecessary land at exorbitant
prices. totaling $175, 900.
ITO widen the channel of White
River, a measure necessary in flood
prevention plans, the board pur-
chased land near Greenlawn Park

strip on the west Side" said Will

taken only after the properties had
been appraised by the Indianapolis

County councilmen charge the city

the bridges to buy the land and re-
fuse to raise more money.
For several weeks city officials
have sought 10 obtain the county's
share Of the cost Of bridge construc-
ton. Numerous conferences have
been held without results.
A few days ago Joseph l.. Hogue,
city controller. asserted the city had
only $32, 900 to pay construction bills,
amounting to nearly S175,000
BY terms of the flood prevention
agreement, the city pays As per cent,

fitted property owners 10 per cent
