THE FIRE HOSE.
the
The City of ErenhamWill Pay for
Pioper Care Of It.
At the meeting of tho city
council Monday afternoon tho
question of the proper care of the
fire hose was brought up by Mr.
Russi, and was generally dis-
cusseed. The members wore all
of the opinion that immediately
after each fire all hose which has
been used should be cleaned and
properly drained of water, but
thoy stated that they did not ex-
pect tho volunteers to do this
work, Mr. Low said that the
firemen had done their share if
they fought tlio flames, and
should not be required to take
up and cloan hose. Mayor Wil-
kins was instructed to see Chief
Simon and learn the wishes of
the members of the department
in the matter, ft is the opinion
of the council that tho matter
should bo made tho personal
businoss of the chief of the de-

parlment, and that whatever ex-
penso i4 necessary in the matter
should be defrayed by tho city.
The Banner man saw Mr. Si-
mon, the chief of tho department
about tho question. He stated
that the hose should be properly
cared for or it will be of little
service, as it would soon wear
out. He is willing to give his
personal attention to the care of
it, if the city will do suggest-
ed pay tho necessary expense.
The department is graetly in
need of a supply wagon. The
reel now in use has but a small
capacity and it is always neces-
sary to send for that hose which
is held in reserve. With a sup-
ply wagon much quicker work
could be done, and the necessity
of carrying a section at a time in
the arms, would bo done away
with.
