This papor believes in
anything which will lead to tho hotter
went of tho city llro department.
As wo gather It, a number of cities in
tho state levy an assessment of a tax
upon insuranco companios for the
maintenance of tho fire department.
Wo have been requested by members
of the department to bring this fact to
tho notloo ot the mayor and nity ooun
cil that steps tmy be taken to tbatond.
There Is no good roaBon why this mat
ter should not bo taken up by tho now
administration at an early dato. Tho
following oxtract from tho statutes
cites tho law In this case: "That in
cities of tho socoml class having less than
flvo thousand inhabitants and in vil
lager that maintain a llro department,
tho city council or board of trustees
may, by ordinance impose an occupa
tion tax on all firo Insurance compa
nies maintaining an agonoy or doing
business In such city or vlllago not to
exceed llvo dollars per annum, for tho
benefit of such tire department." No
institution In our city should bo fos

zation of lads who como to your as
sistance and help to save your proporty
