Z , that the local fire department has purchased another piece of appar- atus, don't believe them. There's nothing to it although it is true there is a piece of fire apparatus in the hose house which is new to the local department. It is an old hose cart, to be pulled by either a horse or men, usually by the men, such as was used in the last part of the 18th century.
 It has the old fashioned hose reel and places for oil lights. II stands on two large wheels. II is for the state convention in Wa terbury next month and will be part of the local gathering in the parade there.
