R: Mackenzie and Charles Gustafson Prime Movers.

There is no dovbt but that the Tenstrike organization will start out under most auspicious conditions, and will soon expand to generous proportions. - Pertinent Questions. L. F. Johnson: “Will you ask our firemen if we have a fire engine and a paid engineer, and if it is not | known that the engine can be taken out and hose laid a block from the lake or a little further? Also, why is it that a citizen who pays for his ’phone and turns in an alarm, cannot get an answer from: ‘central’ inside of three minutes? And why does not the fire whistle give an alarm inside of five minutes? = These are vital matters, which interest every taxpayer and property owner, and should be remedied.” ) Notice to Undertakers.
