THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. Some Changes Made That Are of Interest to the People of Klnaton. Will Purchase a Hook and Ladder Trudk. The town aldermen have authorized the fire department to purchase a hook and ladder truck with a chemical engine attached. This -truck will be operated by the "Dread $ot Hook and Ladder Co.," colored. .! '',. ' . . We think the Authorities were wise in authorizing thisf purchase, as the hook and ladder commny ' may often render better service at a tire than can a steam Ore engine. Thi has been the experience of the very beRtjlrompanies everywhere, especially where there is tbe chemical en gine attachment Mr. B. W. Canidy- recently offered a resolution at a meeting of the fire depart inedt, which was'adopted. . It is that a box be placed in, the engine house con taining two small wooden balls, num bered 1 and 2. tV hen fire breaks out and tbe alarm is turned onj the first member of the company reaching theengine bouse and securing ball :No.l will receive a reward of 12, the Second man, securing ball No. IS to receive 91. in addition to tbie the first man at the engine house is allowed to wear a medal, which he wears until some other member wins it, and so pn. Thus there will be a fepirit of rivalry among members of the ' department, and the very best service assured.' Several small fire extiniruishers, that bare been of so much service in Kinston, will be distributed among members of Jbe departmeoli, be,rea4y4or ase. xnis is anotoer sten in tna narnt airec tion. Mayor Webb has rendered great service with "his 'extinguisher.' Our peo ple will feel safer ta know that, there are a number of them in different parts of the.town;.AV,.::: yi-:i The Fkbb Pbess aDDroves of all the changes made, and predicts great things for the fire department. We hope to see is soon tne very oset m the state. There is one thing that our oeonle are becoming tired of that is; tbe hiurh rate On insurance that we are forced te pay; The insurance companies claim as acanse of their high rates - that -we have sue poor fire protection. That is . no longe an excuse, and the people -will not sub mit to pay a ' higher rate of ; insurance than any other similarly protected town in iHorth uaroana. v t f Thi Beat PresoriptloR far nbiMs aA faar U . feptl ot Gsovs't TAmiuts Chili TikMM i- 2- t : i . i noCam-noMv enc. , . i Fbek Press Kvnnklf. v, T.n.nrnTi(lPi rwmhori T "1 QOO As usual our merchants' have an nrto- uateuixpiay o turucaias goous.
