Fires And Other
Emergencies

All Salaried members of the
London Fire department now have
full police powers, after taking the
oath of office in a special meeting.
Mayor Bryan Jenkinson said the
move has two motives: ID to give
the firemen the power to do police
duty when necessary around fires
and, ~ to supplement the regu-
lar police force, especially in emer-
gencies.
Mayor Jenkinson pointed out
that the seven London firemen and
the Fire Chief will receive no
salary as policemen, but will have
full powers as City Police officers.
He said the move was strictly in
the interest of public welfare and
safety, and that the firemen had
requested that such action be TAX

Badges and Identification cards
are being prepared for the extra
policemen who were sworn in dur
ing special ceremonies. They will
not be required to wear official
uniforms, but may wear their
fireman's clothing, or regular civil

The use of the officers will be
at the option of the Chief of Po-
lice, but the duties will extend to

Mayor Jenkinson added that he
plans to install several other resi-
dents into police positions, espe-
cially those people who frequently
work with large gatherings of peo-
pie. He emphasized that the volun-
teer firemen were not included in
the group invested with police
power, and said none of the ap-
pointments will be paid salaries,
other than the regular full-time

Tax Valuation

Madison County Commissioners
have approved annexation to Lon
don of several tracts of land locat-
ed on the northern edge of the
city in the Garfield Avenue area.
Final annexation depends upon

annexation, when approved by
Council, will add approximately
$4,000 to $4,000 to the London

involve accepting the responsible
