Towboat Concern Offers
' ' To Supply Needed
Vessel
: Effort to obtain a fireboat to be
" stationed at th turning basin prob-
ably will be made Thursday at a
meting of the navigation commission.
' H was announced Tuesday. Following
a confer do with dty officials repre-
- tentative of the D. W. Ryan Towboat
' company submitted to tne narigation
f a 'plan whereby the vessel might be
'secured.
' 'The company offers the city a tug
with the understanding that it be
i equipped with the necessary appar-
atus for fighting fire. This would
i cost about $2500. The Teasel they
offer now is equipped with a pump
operated by a cssoline motor with
sufficient power to pump 2000 gal-
lons of water a minute. Under the
f agreement sought by tne towing com
pany the city win litre to innau
another auch pump thereby doubling
the value of the tug as a firebcat
. The turning basin now is without
any such boat In the even of fire
H-eoaW only be combatted from the
land' which shippers say would b
useless in the event of a big blaze
or a fire aboard a ship either in the
middle of the basin or along the
channel
Those in favor of the towing com-
pany's proposition gay that the earn-
logs of the boat would be sufficient
to make its operation virtually free
to the dty. It is suggested that the
tag charge usual towing fees for mov-
ing vessels in the turning basin and
Channel The vessel would at all
times however be ready to respond
to a fire alarm.

The Bible
ByF.A.LIli
V HRIST Divine Son divinely sent
A prophecy to fulfill and complete
The Father's great plan of salvation
The wiles of Satan to defeat;
Sent by the Father to suffer and die
Sent by the Father that His blood be shed
And sins of the world be lost in its flood
And into paths of right men might be led.
V HRIST who mighty wonders wrought
And in the paths of right He placed
The foot of man and made him tread
The ways of light with sin effaced.
He healed the sick the halt and lame
The blind they saw and the deaf did hear;
The dead He raised and the hungry fed.
And the sofrowing widow's heart did cheer.
V HRIST only hope for sinful man
The light that leadeth in the dark
The one whose blood our souls will cleanse ;
On salvation's road the only spark
By which man hopes his life to save
For He man's sins will ever bear.
If man but trust Him td the end; r
On judgment day He will be there. :
r . $r
V HRIST who in all meekness came
Not to condemn the world but to save
And bear with patience .vile abuse.
For us His life He freely gave
Without one plaint the cross he bore
In agony gave His life for alt :"
That all might have salvation's plan
If they would heed his loving call.
V HRIST who in the tomb was placed
And on the third day again wai raised
And walked and talked with men
Who at the miracle were amazed.'
Then unto His disciples He did say
"Unto all nations you I do send ;
Go ye preach unto them My gospel
: And lo I am with' you to the end
Amen."
