Milford Chronicle.
The treasury of the company has
been depleted to a great extent by
the purchase of the new ladder
truck, which is the most modern
of its kind on the Delmarva Penin-
sula.
The present need now is for a
new tank truck, the present one
having seen many years of stren-
uous service, needs replacement.
Persons conversant with modern
firefghting nfsthods know the great
value of tank trucks, especially for
use in rural areas, where sufficient
water supply is not available.
1t is the sincere hope of the
membership of the Carlisle Fire
Company that the public will rally
to the support of this strictly volun-
teer organization that serves the
area under all climatic conditions,
at all hours of the day or night.
Letters have been sent out to
business houses and manufacture
ing concerns, and anyone in either
category who has not received one
can still make their donations to
any member of the Company.
