The most| demage reported was at the Glen Fulls | plant of the American Woolen com- | pany, whers about 20 feet of the smoks | stack was blown dowm, striking on the | roof of the building used as a pump| room and smashing its way through to the bottom with a terrific crash. Steam | pipes and the pump were put out of business, and_the whole building was in a state of destruction in a jiffy.

It WESTERLY FIRE COMMITTEE REPORTS| Finding Received and Committee Continued, to Secure Def- inite Data as to Suitable Apparartus—Death of Msr. Hi- ram A. Edward—County ized. Farmers’ Association Organ- A special meeting of the Westerly fire district was held in the town hall ‘Wednesday evening for the purpose of hearing and acting upon the report of the commitiee appointed to investigate the present conditions in the fire de- partment, and, if possible, to devise ways and means to increase the effl- clency of the department, especially in the matter of prompt response to fire alarms. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock by Moderator Eu- gene B. Pendleton and the call was read in the absence of Clerk Lewis Stanton, by Edward A. Kingsley, sec- retary pro tem. In the call there was a proposition to ask the general as- sembly to increase the debt limit of the district and another proposition authorized the treasurer (o borrow money to meet any expense that might be incurred as an outcome of the spe- clal meeting. The special committee submitted a report as follows: To the Taxpayers of the Westerl District: In accordance with a resolution pass- ed at the last annual meeting of the Westerly fire district, the taxpavers of said district have been summoned to this meeting to hear the report upon better methods in transporting the fire fighting apparatus of the district while in service. Your committee has held a number of meetings and conferences; has en- gaged in some correspondence and considered in detail every method which | could be employed in handling the ap- | paratus effectually, 1 The first and foremost object of | the committee has been to determine upon a method which could be main- tained at least annual cost and at | the same time ensure strength, read- iness and reliability, thus enabling the department to render first aid most promptly after a given alarm in any part of the district and by such acti greatly diminish the probability of an important fire loss. The employment of powerful horses | in sufficient number to perform the service at all hours has been consid- ered from the standpoint of district ownership as well as upon the rental pian, but in each of these instances the "annual expense of maintenance appeared to be too great to warrant further consideration of these methods. After this, much time and thought was employed in studying different phases | Fire of motor driven equipment as pro- duced by various manufacturer: Primarily, this district owns two | most excelient and adequate appar- atus wagoms. One of these is equip- ped with a chemical outfit, and is the only one sent out on the first alarm to the more remote points in the dis- trict. The other wagon is the same in all particulars excepting the chem- cal apparatus and is sent out on the | second alarm from distant boxes and | always on the first alarm in the more compact portion of the district. Either of these wagons is much | too heavy for light weight horses to handle at a running gait on the level, to say nothing of the high grades which they are repeatedly called upon to encounter. Therefore your com- mittee has considered two plans by which this work may be accomplish- ed at a low annual cost, of First: One the present wagons could be disposed of and a motor fire wagon, with a chemical plant and suffi cient ladder equipment for low service, be installed in its ce. { Second: For about the same amount of purchase money two powerful tract- ors could be purchased and attached to our present fire wagons, in which event both wagons might be equip; with a chemical apparatus and ders. By this method eacl outfit would be an exact duplicate of | the other and afford a valual up- | port in the event of some accident oc- | curring to one machine or through the | failure of operation from whatever cause. In either instance these machines would ter as compared with ure automobile, since made of solid rubber Pneumatic a dom in s mercial tear on the entire mach exceedingly light. Therefore if the deemed prudent to make such a purchas might feel secure in the ownei 2 most durable equipment. I within the province of this to obtain competitive figur of these machine: structed to make any recommendations | at this meeting, hence its members | respectfully leave the matter in vour ands and ask that they may be dis- the ti nstead « v and 1d be | ot | { s upon neither was it charged.

Rooney asked” if there was_possibility of any horses being in the vicinity of the fire house within a short time that would be equal to fire service. Assistant Chief Egger favored horses as preferable to motor-driven appar- atus. Mr. Whipple made motion that the Westerly fire district request the gen- eral assembly to increase the debt limit of the district from $7,000 to $15,- 000. He did this to provide for action that may be taken in the future in re- gard to the purchase of motor driven fire apparatus, it being the sense of the meeting thus far that there was to De no vote passed at the meeting for the purchase of fire apparatus or horses, David Stillman was opposed to in- curring any additional expense on the fire_district. Thomas Perry, speaking to the Whipple motion_ sald that authority to increase indebtedness did not mean the expenditure of any more money than at_present. Judge Burke stated that if the com- mittee had suggested or recommended new apparatus and the cost of mainte- nance, there would have been some- the proposition. He was not opposed to the motion of Mr. Whipple to get authority from the general assembly to | increase the debt limit. Mr. Whipple did not believe that even the purchase of new apparatus would cause an increase in taxation of material amount. The Whipple motion was put upon its passage and carried unanimeusly.

On motion of Mr. Whipple the vote receiving the report of the committee and discharging the committee was rescinded. He then moved that the report of the committee be received and the committee continued and be uested to prepare all data that is ary in regard to the proposed improved efficiency of the fire depart- ment, giving as definite figures as pos- sible. The vote was adopted unani- mously. Lillian_Wilson Edmond, wife of Hi- | ram A. Edmond, died at her home on High street Wednesday morning, leav- ing a_daughter born last Saturday.
