Story Resigns; Duckett
New Chief
At the special meeting, Jim

years, resigned due to other press
ing duties. In his resignation he
stated that he had enjoyed serv
ing in this capacity and had al
ways received full cooperation
from town officials. "The mem
bers of the present board, as well
as previous boards, have been most
cooperative with the fire depart
ment," Chief Story said. In ask
ing the city officials to accept his
resignation, Chief Story said he
, would gladly serve 'in any capaci
ty his successor might wish and
would always do whatever he
could to make Marshall a safer
place in which to live. He also
thanked the firemen for their fine
work daring ' the past eight year.

In accepting the responsibility
of Fire Chief, Mr. Duckett stated
that he wanted the people who
Hve outside the corporate limits
to understand fully the reason
that no fire calls will be answer
ed. "It's the law and we must be
in Marshall at all times to pro
tect property within the corporate
limits. Absolutely no exceptions
will be made due to the law,"
Chief Duckett stated.

Because of this restriction,
Mayor Nix and the board of al
dermen are now contemplating a
"second unit" for the file de
partment. If possible, a truck
will be "rigged up" with hose and
booster tank so that fires neai
the corporate limits can bt an
swered. By a second truck, it
will be possible to answer fire
calls with the alternate truck and
at the same time leave tne pre
sent fire truck in the corporate
limits at all times.
"We hope something can b'
worked out along this line," May
