The Black Mountain department was once known as on a par “with the best in the state,” Chief Allen said, and said “we are now trying to get the department, which has a present rating of Class 7, up to Grade <!. We have good equip ment. We need two men who can bo on 24-hour duty basis, with no other duties,” he explained, ad ding “our volunteers are paid no salary.” He pointed out that the depart ment saves home-owners money. About $1200 to $1500 of support for the Fire Department is real ized each year from the $3 assess ment asked from property owners. This comes from about 400 to 500 who respond to the 1500 to 2000 assessment cards sent out each year, in which property-owners are asked to mail in $3 to help with the w'ork of the fire depart ment. “We are revising our list,” Mr. Allen said, and asked that ad ditional names be given to add to the list. He reminded, "Insur ance rates would he double if the department could not go to fight outside fires.” Services Are Held For Harry Tweed Harry Tweed, 69, a native of Madison county and resident of Swannanoa for the past 33 years, died Thursday, April 3, at hit? home following a long illness.
