Business Men's Association Anxious for Electors to Favor Fire Automo- bile Appropriation. In response to the 1.200 post card notices sent out by the Business Men's association, which is in favor of the proposition, and to the urgent appeals of other interested parties, both for and against, it 1s expected that a large percentage of electors of the eity will go to the polls today (Tuesday).to Vote at the special city meeting on the matter of making an appropriation of $6,000 for the purpose of purchasing and equipping an automobile fire truck. A hot canvass wasmade Monday to get out the voters and as many as a score of automobiles have been secured to get the.voters to the polls, which are to be open from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. It seemed mighty difficult for interest- ed persgns to settle in their own minds Monday what the outcome of the vote would be. Those who are opposed to the purchase of the truck are for the most part bellevers in being very eco- nomical in expenditure of the: city’s money and are of the opinon that the city should not make the investment asked for at present. On the other hand, those who want the truck belleve that if the city can reduce fire losses from the startling figures to which they have amounted in Putnam during the last two years by investing $6,000 in an auto truck that will be ready at an instant's no- tice to whirl away to a fire at as high a as even 50 miles an hour, they will have made an investment that wiil more than pay for itself in a short time by preventing the spread of fires that would not amount to mueh if handled with great promptness. Ar- rangements were belng made Monday so that employes {n shops and factories could vote on the proposition, OBITUARY. Mrs. Sarah Debson.
