II. Hammond 1t was acquired by
the Fire Company several months
ago. when they purchased it from
Mrs. Hugh ID. Smith, sister of the
late DR.. Hammond. The lot is 60
by 240 feet. The house on the site
has been advertised for sale and
the purchaser will remove it is
soon as possible in order that
building operations may begin.
The history of the Georgetown
Fire Association" as it was then
known, dates back to the year 1881,
when the first fire fighting equip
ment was purchased, after yeceiv
ing an appropriation from the Sus-
sex County Levy Court for that
purpose. In 1888 the Levy Court
granted the Fire association the
use of the old Jail to house fire ap-
paratus. and in 1904 the Levy
Court granted them permission to
construct a building at the rear of
he Jail which then stood on South
Race Street. between Market Street
and what is known as "Tincup AL
ley" This building was occupied
by the Georgetown Fire Associa-
ton until the fall of 1926, when
they moved into quarters on the
Public Square, in the building
which for many years had been
the First National Bank Building.
and which the fire company had
completely remodeled to fit their
needs.
In July 1922, the company as
/ sumed the obligation and bought a
type IS American LaFrance fire
engine. at a cost of $10,550. This
engine, at that time. was one of the
most modern pieces of fire-fighting
equipment in State. The debt was
finally paid off in 1926, after q
series of carnivals, benefits, public
subscriptions and an allowance of
$4,000 from the Levy Court, in
consideration of protection for the
Court House and Jail. The pur-
chase price paid for the old First
National Bank Building, which
was vacated when it's stock was
taken over by the Delaware Trust
Co.. and the new banking house at
the corner of Market Street and
the Public Square erected, was
$3,20000.
The Georgetown Fire Associa-
ton was incorporated in Septem-
Der of 1922, under the name of the
Georgetown Fire Company, Inc

Handie-TaIkie Used For Bear

For the first time on Kodiak island a handie-talkie portable radio-communication system was used to get the famed Kodiak bear, by a hunting party consist ing of George Petty, artist, B T Meredith, magazine publisher, and c P Hunter, manager of the sporting goods department of Marshall Fields, Chicago.
 The experiment was instigated by MT. Hunter, and the handle talkie, a Alb. instrument with dry batteries, with range of 5 miles, was used successfully to direct hunters on the hills to- ward the bears, and resulted in both MT. Petty and MT. Mere. dith getting a bear, each one a. bout a 10 footer.
 Charles Madsen, local guide, said that the instrument would be effective on spring hunts, when the bears are on the hills, as the hunters could be seen from the beach and directed as to which way the bear they were stalking was going. He has order. ed 4 for his own future hunts
 Speed Dreyer brought the hunting party back Saturday, and 8 PIMA plane, that had brought in 15 Filipinos for Ka- diak Fisheries, was called back to pick up the group after the plane was only 20 minutes out of Anchorage on it's return trip.

UItin1atun1 Is Issued

At another fish price negotia- tion meeting held last night an ultimatum was issued by fisher msn representatives that if the salmon industry does not pre- sent "a constructive offer" by 2 pm tonight {Saturday), there will be no fish put in cans on Kodiak island this year.
 Steele Culbertson representa- tive of Alaska Canned Salmon Industry, Inc, returned to Kod- iak by plane yesterday from An chorage after a weeks absence, and requested the meeting. I. He had left last Friday after the union had offered to submit to their members a price sched- ule of 50 (reds & silvers)-20 (chums) and 12 (pinks) if the canners would agree to the prices, which, however, were not acceptable.
 Last nights's meeting lasted only IS minutes when Mr. Gull bertson reported he had no pro posal to make and told the union that their previous offer was so far out of line that the canners could not consider it. The fisher men stood by their last offer and after issuance of the ultimatum the meeting was over.
