Casper is facing a pecul brought about by ituation, ¥ of quiék action in order to secure badiy needed equipment fc r the neces the fire department and save a little matter of $1,700 dnt its ptit- chase. More in detail the facts are, a short time since, after an underwritér’s sur. vey of the city, the suggestion . was made that insurance rates could be cut by substantial reduction from présent rat if the city authorities pfréVided adequate fire protection to thé busi- ness and residence sections of the city hy. the establishment of a conVetifently located fire station and supplied addi- tonal and neces: ment. ry moderi equip. The mayor and city council at once began an investigation into the cost of both station and equipment, stieéh a would be deemed rié quate.

This option -r $1,700 on prices exact time specified for delivery. Lt is resents a saving df with no quoted tod: understood that thé optidti still f ten di to run. The city, in the first place; was in hopes that # plan could be devised of using a portion of fire funfs on hand and making a temporary loan for the balance in order to secure the neces- sary equipment. This was found im practicable, however, because the pres- ert fire fund cannot be miade to sttétch beyond this ¥ezt’s requirements for the ofain: purposes of the dépdttmieént, and a bond issue was the only alterna- tive. Here again was the city up against it for the reason that the pres- ent securities market is absorbing no of ariy destriptibti ahd time ftiust be awaited, or the bond# discounted, which is fér- bidden by stitute. In this situation, if the city would take advantage of the option she Holas on equipment and effect the saving she is attempting to make, ara would sup- bly pelled to have for the prot t once the apparatus, she is com- etion of the property, one’ means oOfily is rtivh she ts people's open to her in the quick tind that is for focal required to take bankers and apitalists to ¢obme for up this Ward temporarily and shoul¢ matte the e prepare ,issue and market her bonds.
