The new plan, attributed by
postal officials to Comptroller

Shipping authorities expressed
grave doubt that more than so

NYE TO OPPOSE
BIGNAVY BILL
international News Service


Led by their chairman, Senator
Nye (R) Of North Dakota, mem
bers of the Senate munitions COM
mittee prepared today to oppose
passage Of the 1891, ,06s,oO0 naval
appropriations bill.
Nye said he intends to speak
against all new construction pro-
vided for in the bill, but held
no hopes Of blocking its passage.
He is particularly opposed to au-
thorization Of $103,0 100000 for
construction Of two battleships.
He said:
There Is no necessity for con-
structiOn Of these ships at this
time, or at any time in the near
future"
The Senate appropriations sub.
committee amended the House
bill, making construction of the
two ships conditional. The PreSi.
dent would be permitted to call
for their construction If sigma
tories to naval pacts first began
building ships Of like type.

In the days when we had no place
from which to draw a supply of water.
so every man in the community who was
able came out with his bucket helping to
pot water in the engine, but all the work
those men did in those days could
be done today by one engine: therefore.
in this proposal provided the Governor
gets the money, we can have the wafer.
We already have the engine, what we
need is the fire chief to direct the opera
tons. Whenever a fire occurs most of our
people are will ing to help, but we need a
man TO direct the operations of putting
out the fire. | am going TO support the
ordinance but you caDnO. put out fire
by an ordinance, you must have water,
the engine and a man to direct the opera

from the immigration Fund 10 buy the
fire engines we did great good for this
Municipality; and when TIE Governor
gets the money and we have water tanks
and hydrants at the street corners then
we will be able 'to boast of a good fire
