CITY FIREMEN BATTLE BLAZE

A roaring blare—the worst in
Orange in almost eight years—
last night took away the chill of
a winter night when one of the
city’s oldest landmarks, the Odd
/Fellows’ Hall, was gutted by a
fire which started in a wall switch
installed some 20 years ago.
Observers today remarked at

City Manager Hears Operators Gripe
About City's Business Not Distributed
*T>tv 'Manager Ralph R. Wolf apparently believes in tak-
ing advantage of opportunities . . . after a short meeting of
City Commission this morning, he went into conference with
about 15 service station operators who wanted a chance to
have their say. / .,
The commission adjourned its meeting after it agreed
to relegate to Wolf the matter
of the city’s purchase of oil
and gas and attendant services
for its foiling stock'for the po-
lice and garbage departments.
Directly after commissioners left
their meeting, Wolf addressed the:
operators, with, "Since you’re here, |
I’d like to hear what you have.to j
say on the matter,” The operators j
had .petitioned the city commis-1
sion for a hearing'on alleged un-
fair delegation of rolling stock;
service purchases. ! CORNER BROOK, Nfld. (AP)

easier to city firemen because of
their past experience in using the
structure for practices. It was con-

to its age. The building was built
by donated labor in 1891, shortly
after the Odd Fellows orgamza-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi-

and undermining from within”
while advancing human welfare
and economic growth.
The chief executive’s spending
blueprint, outlined In a 27,000-
word message and a bulky volume
of supporting figures, proposed a
12-month outgo of $62,408,000,«-

It contemplates a deficit of
about 2ti billion dollars-—a little
more than half the estimated for
the current fiscal year, the fifth
successive year of deficits.
Estimated- expenditures were

rent year. The President predicted
that income in the new fiscal year,
starting July 1, would be a bilttaii

optimism over the future of tha

WASHINGTON (AP)-Nearly
10 cents out of every dollar
government spends in the next
fiscal year will be allotted to pay
the interest on the national debt.
President Eisenhower estimated
today in' his budget message that
interest payments oh the debt will
total $6,300,000,000 the 12 months
beginning next July l.
Eisenhower said that when the
new fiscal year begins, the na-
