A NEW ADDITION
Structure of Brick to be
Added to Present
S. S. Building

Plans for the construction of an
addition to the Sunday School

at an estimated cost of approx

ed, it was announced today. Work
on the new building will start in

The plans call for a brick build

necessitate the removal of prob

new brick structure to be supple

GreencastIe, like many other
towns in the nation, apparent
ly believes in economy, which
is most commendable. But there
are two kinds of economy-and
one of them is false economy.
Many communities have order
ed generous supplies of hose
and other efficient fire-fighting
equipment, following a needless
and disastrous confIagration.
During recent years, Hagers-
town has been fortunate in this
respect. The volunteer fire de-
partment, is, without question,
one of the most loyal, efficient
and enthusiastic organizations
OF it's kind to be found any
where in the United States. But
It would be "iust one more fire
department" without the COOP
Grafton and recognition of for
ner city administrations. And
It is to be hoped that the pres
ent administration will carry on
and recognize the value of the
department, as did their prede-
cessors.
Frequently one hears a tax
payer criticizing the City Faith
ers for what he, the taxpayer,
claims is unnecessary expendi-
lures in the fire department.
But the taxpayer overIooks one
most important fact-that the
low tax rate, which Hagerstown
enjoys today is made on the
basis of our efficient fire fight
ing equipment, and the efficiency
OF our volunteers.
An active volunteer fireman
who stands ready to answer
calls at all hours Of the day and
night, and who receives nothing
for his services, not to mention
the many dangers encountered
IN performing those duties, has
no apologies to make to anyone.
And, furthermore, he owes the
city Of Hagerstown nothing. In
stead the city is Indebted to
him.
This city has never practiced
false economy" In dealing with
ITS fire department, and hope
that day will never come.
