Other recommendations, all of
which were approved, included: APP
pointment of a committee to revise
the constitution and bylaws; that
the fire schools be continued and
that more firemen take advantage of
the courses offered; that district
fire prevention rule be laid down for
all counties, and that the award of
medals for fire prevention essays he
continued.
In his report. Mr.. Steward said
that the value of the buildings and
equipment owned by member COM

ings, $575,O00; pumping equipment
s56O,OOO; fire hose. $4,000; equip
ment and accessories, $4,000; new
