 While these preliminary figures may be voided by substantial reduc- tons allowed by the board of relief. tax reduction appears at present to be m immediate possibility.

He invites the taxpayer to call him up by telepheae or to make per- sonal call at his home. His letter reads as follows:
 "The department has about 10 members. and the number Is h. creasing daily. The dues are $4 per per year. If IF Der cent of the popu- iation of tho town can become in- terested in the existence of local department to tho extent of $4 per year. one years income from mem bership would be sufficient to secure . 800 gallon bumper, with necessary equipment as specified by the un- derwriters, and leave a balance of about S2.000 to be paid off. The yearly income would then be about t3.oo0 for maiutenance.
