gage Burning Celebration" A ban
quet was held in Firemen's Hall OF
; that evening. Speeches Of congFatu

by members and friends of the or
: ganization. Several years ago this
fire company purchased the Fol
building at cost of several thous-
and dollars and began at once to
give Milton splendid place for
dandes and other entertainments.
CarniYals were held each year and
other enterprises inaugurated and,
with the hearty cooperation of the
citizens of the BrOadkiln district,
have now succeeded in paying off
the Indebtedness. Aside from this
they have purchased a splendid fire
engine, giving to our town two en-
gines, and this has been paid for.
The extra engine was purchased to
be used at Out-Of-toWn firemen's
functions, enabling at the same time
| to have one engine remain in the
town for local protection. These men
/ deserve. and have. the cOmmenda-
tion of the entire community for
their very efficient efforts at fire
protection and their successful ef-
forts to better the fire fighting
equipment and home. II is their in
tentiOn to enlarge and improve the
building, making II more convenient
for their purposes. Our hats are off
to the firemen of Milton.
