The agreement was reached after a large committee from the fire depart- ment appeared before the board and announced that the holding corpora- tion, which is made up of members of the Clarendon Citizens’ Corporation, who own the building formerly oc- cupled by the department, and which was recently sold, leaving a sum of $10,000 above the indebtedness, had of- fered $2.500 toward the erection of a: new engine house, providing the fire department raised an additional $2,500 and the board of county supervisors the balance. Under the agreement the county would take title to the property. Both Supervisors Duncan and Hed- rick expressed in no uncertain terms their opinion that the holding corpora- tion should give the entire $5,000, there- by relieving the fire department of the necessity of canvassing for their share of the fund. Department Obtained Funds. In their opinion most of the funds raised for the purchase of the house that was recently sold were obtained under the auspices of the fire depart- ment. Nolan D. Mitchell, chairman of the special committee, stated that the fund of the two associations had been kept separate, but the two members of the board insisted that it had been the general consensus of those donating money toward the purchase of the prop- erty that they were doing so for the fire department and not for the citizens’ association. ‘Turnburke stated that he could not understand why Clarendon, the largest single community in the county, could not afford to o¥m its own engine- house when every other community in the county, regardless of size, had been able to provide sufficient funds with which to construct buildings in which to house the engines, which are county owned. Duncan and Hedrick both stressed the view that the county must at some future time own all of the houses in which the apparatus is quartered and that the present situation offers it an oppor “anity whereby it could acquire title to the proposed Clarendon fire- ::sae without assuming but half of the MT.
