Eural Fire Fighters For some time Murray has had a volunteer fire department, capable of serving the interest of the town in guarding against and extinguishing fires. This organization is to be aug mented with another, to be known as the Murray rural fire department and that will serve the surrounding ter ritory as well as the town itself. The two organizations are expected to work together in close harmony. In fact, it is hoped that they will be able to secure a pumper outfit that can go beyond the territory served by town water mains and by placing the feeder hose in a well or cistern, per form equally as well in the country as in town. The new department held a meet ing recently and discussed matters of interest. In conjunction with mem bers of the town department, they have visited other towns that have dual systems and find they prove most successful. , A meeting is planned in the near future, when it is hoped to have the state fire marshal here to explain the method of organizing rural fire dis tricts under the law passed by the last legislature. Murray will probably be the first town in the county to complete such an organization, although there has been a move on foot at Plattsmouth for several months to take similar action.
