Commerce Body Discusses
Civic Improvements
The regular monthly meeting OF
the Harrington Chamber OF Com
merce was held Monday evening IN
the Town Council rooms. Despite
the fact that only a small number
were present, much discussion was
held relative to the crowded conul-
tion of the local school, also the
needs of modern fire equipment.
Secretary Jacobs suggested that the
firemen arrange for citizens meet
ing in the near future at when
time the financial condition OF the
company would be discussed and
some definite plan adopted to finance
the purchase of new equipment. The
firemen's parade held here recently
brought to the attention Of the local
citizens the need of modern equip
ment and showed them just what
their sister towns had in fire appa-
ratus. A resolution was adopted
that the Chamber of Commerce go
on record as being in favor OF spe-
cial tax plan to meet the require
ments of the Fire Department. II Is
agreed that the maintenance OF the
Fire Department is just as essential
as any other department OF the
town. The firemen who are Yolun-
teers should not be expected TO
hold carnivals and bazaars to raise
money for equipment. 1t is very
likely that carnivals will be aband-
Oned if the plans of the Chamber OF
Commerce are carried out.
In a contest between two teams OF

cabees, fittingly observed the found
ing of the order here last week at
