POLICE COMMISSION
WOOS HELP FROM
MUNICIPAL BOARD

A lively exchange of opinion be-
tween two WyandOtte commissions
may be in the Offing.
The Police and Fire Commission
proposes that before giving the pro-
perty located at Biddle and Elm street,
formerly the central fire station, to
the Municipal Service Commission, the
Board of Police and Fire Commission
ers respectfully request that enough
money be given them for same to make
il possible TO buy new pumper.
According to letter addressed by
the fire commission to the Council, the
tire fighting equipment is in a bad
way. The assertion Is made that ''Our
three bumpers are Anticipated and
about TO fall apart. One new pumper
seems absolutely necessary and be-
cause money for the purchase Of same
was not allowed in the present budget,
this would be logical way to obtain
it."
The letter was received and placed
on file.
What the Municipal Service Com
mission thinks about the logic Of the
situation has not been disclosed.

BY IHOhN1ON w. DOnOESOs
Peter Rabbit, scampering through
the Green Forest in search of feath-
cred friends who had come down
from the Far North to spend the
winter, suddenly spied bird who
was a stranger to him. He was
lust a little smaller than Welcome
Robin, and at first glance seemed
to be dressed in strawberry red.
However, a closer look showed that
there were slate-gray markings on
his head, under his wings, and on
his legs. His tail was brown. His
wings were brown, marked with
black and slate. His bill was thick
and rather short.
"Who are you?" demanded Peter
very bluntly and impolitely.
I'm Piny the Pine Grosbeak," re-
piled the stranger, seemingly not
at all put out by Peters bluntness.
"Oh," said Peter. Are you re-
lated to Rosebreast the Grosbeak
who nested last summer in the Old
Orchard?"
II certainly am" replied Piny. "He
is my own cousin. I've never seen
him, because he never ventures up
where I live and I don't go down
where he spends the winter, but all
members Of the Grosbeak family are
cousins"

she wanted of them.
