to provide quarters for the war plant down near the lake add to this loss the tremendous damage done by the truckers hauling grave and supplies to the plant and we find the municipality is going to be out financially for their additional grow th government officials visited the plant last week and an effort was made to have them assume some portion of the cost of maintaining a road for this traffic

trustees a meoting ot this board will be called in the near future to discus the lireengine situation in the village the present fire outfit understood to be in such a dilapi dated condition that it can only reach a fire under the most favorable conditions the truck has served its day and either a good reconditioned truck or a complete new outfit must needs be purchased to provide the village with the fire protection neces sary the truck now in use is only provided with chemical tanks but several have voiced the opinion that any new firewagon should be equip ped with both chemical and water- pumper the township is now paying an additional 5 per fire or 30 for those the village truck at tends and a pumper would certainly make the outfit much more effective in dealing with farm fires

noticeable that god did not send an apostle or persecute some honored jerusalem elder to confer with saul and reveal the way of the lord he chose what men to day call a layman a godly hebrew christian
