Substitution Of booster pumps for
chemical tanks on all District flre ap-
paratus not already SO equipped, was
urged by the Burroughs Citizens Asso-
citation last night at a meeting In the
Burroughs School, Eighteenth and
Monroe streets northeast.
Because the chemical equipment has
been found less satisfactory than

out, the change already has been
effected in all but a few of the engine
companies here. or those remaining

Quarter Revealed
Counterfeit When

quarter until Russ Alexander,
Star printer, accidentally drop

But imagine his surprise-in
these days when quarters most

The coin, he discovered on

broken the metal into almost
equal pieces.

was voted that work done by the Lib

time all relief needs will be taken care

The Libby Woman's Club, which has

lief committee is organized again next
fall that the Woman's club will con-
fine its efforts wholly to the distribu-

organization the management Of other

sion Of relief work in May by the Lib

For some time perplexing problem
has been confronting the board of

instances the commissioners can issue
emergency warrants in certain amounts.

The state constitution also provides that
the commissioners shall not create an
Indebtedness of more than $4,000 for
any one purpose without vote of the
people. That combination produced All

commissioners had already issued one
batch of $4,000 emergency warrants.
The commissioners were confronted
with a statute that says they MUST
