The contract for the Ford chassis was awarded to Boyd-Boyce Jotor Co. at a cost of approximatey $700. It is expected that the new fire rngine will be delivered to Warren;on within the next 60 days. The Roanoke Company pump was selected from a list of six by the i*ire Committee composed of W. R. Strickland, chairman; George Scog;in and Bignall Jones, on Monday it noon, and was the unanimous :hoice of the board of commissionsrs at its regular session. The Fire Committee also opened ;hree bids for a chassis at its noon neeting, but largely due to the difierence In the submitted bids between the Chevrolet and Ford, rated to submit the choice of chasss to a full board. The third bidder, Dodge, was higher than either the Ford or the Chevrolet. Scoggin Motor Company offered i Chevrolet chassis as specified for ;he sum of $575. Boyd-Boyce's bid )n the specified Ford chassis was 1691.84. Following a discussion of :he mechanical differences between ;he two trucks as they applied to ;he operation of a centrifugal pump, argely led by Chairman Strickland, ;he commissioners voted six to one ;o purchase the Ford chassis and it was so ordered.

The Fire Company proceeded to White's Gin in the other end of town, and as a result, it is felt by many that the delay caused the complete destruction of the Dameron Gin.
