The city council hold n special meet
ing Tuesday evening and ontercd into
contract with the Andersen Compnny
of Kansas City for tho purchase of nn
auto firo car at a cost of five thous
and seven hundred dollars. C. J. An
dersen, of Omaha, representing tho
company, was present at the meeting
and made thcsnlo. Tho city trades in
the present fire wagon, which cost
$2,000, on tho purchaso price of the now
uuto car. Mr. Andersen i agrees to
deliver tho war within ninety dnys, but
says he will make nn effort to have it
hero in less time. This car is the same
type that has been sold to the firo de
partment nt Kearney and also at
Columbus.
The car is seventy-five horse powor,
and in addition to carrying hose and
fire ladders, has three chemical extin
guishers, one of forty gallon capacity
and two of three gallon capacity each.
These chemical extinguishers will prob
ably be used five times where water is
used once in the extinguishing of fires,
as by the use of tho new car the sceno
of the firo can be reached much more
quickly and unless tho flames have
gained much headway the extinguisher
will do the work quickly and without
the. damage which ensues from the use
of water. No doubt in many instances
of the drivfbr of the car will
be able to extinguish the fire without
the aid. of the firemen, as tho chemical
apparatus can be handled by one man.
The car is sufficiently large and heavy
to carry a dozen firemen in nddition to
the regular equipment.
It looks to this writes as though the
council made a good move when it en
tered into a contract to purchase this
motor fire car.
