The city of O’Neill is now the proud
owner of an auto fire truck, The
truck is a G. M. C. and was pur
chased from J. J. Thomas. It is
a combination chemical, hose and lad
der truck. It is fully equipped with
fire extinguishers, axes and other nec
eccary fire fighting equipment. The
truck carries 1,000 feet of fire hose,
and about a couple of hundred feet
of chemical hose. This is the same
kind of a truck as they use in the
Omaha and Lincoln fire departments.
The machine cost $3,500 and will be
kept in the engine house in the
southern part of town where a man is
on duty all the time. The addition of
this truck to the fire fighting equip
ment of the city will cause the fire
insurance companies to revise the in
surance rates for the town and make
a substantial reduction therein.

Henry Losher Remarks.
Editor Frontier: If the Honorable
ex-Senator, John A. Robertson and
clique can get enough of state
and Federal Aid they are going to
construct a viaduct over the Black
bird and Camp creeks; traffic is so
heavy and bridges are so hard to
keep in place, it is an absolute nec
essity. I think it better to go through
a corn field than to crawl out of a
mud hole on both sides of my house.
Yours truly,
HENRY LOSHER.
