CITY FIRE APPARATUS
IN SATURDAY TEST
RUN FOR MOVIE men

One Of the finest demonstrations of
the efficiency of the new warning
sirens recently installed on Water
street, which has yet been seen in
this city, was pulled off Saturday af-
ternoon at $3.50 when the several
trucks of the Augusta Fire Depart
ment made a test run through the
street and were filmed by a moving
picture man who was taking pictures
for Richardson's Movie Ball which is
to be held next Saturday night.
Just before the trucks left the
Hartford station the sirens were
started and when the apparatus had
proceeded half way down Rines Hill
the entire street was clear. despite
the fact that but a moment before
there had been q congestion of heavy
Saturday traffic. The trucks went as
far as the Bridge street spindle and
then returned to the station. the
movie man getting them from all an
giles. The firemen made the run in a
fine manner demonstrating their abil-
ity as drivers and the test proved be-
You'd a doubt the greater opportunity
that the men now have in handling
their machines, due to the earlier
and more noticeable warning of the
new street sirens.
The films taken will be presented
to Chief Roy Small to be placed in
the records of the fire department
and they will be of great interest to
the firemen. The pictures were taken
the supervision of w. D. Johnson. Di-
rector for the Eastern Attractions,
who is in charge of the film work for
the ball. This is the same camera
that will be used in filming the
movie ball at Richardson's pavilion
on Tuesday night and is one of the
finest cameras that has ever been
used in Augusta. Twenty screen
tests of young men and young ladies
are to be taken and on Saturday
night at the movie ball they will be
shown for the benefit of the crowd.
after which they will be presented to
the subjects.
