Show OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. Our city fathers are taking a commendable interest in our fire department, with the view to having it thoroughly organized and fully equipped at an early day. Chief Engineer Curtis has been instructed to prepare a list of articles needed to equip the department for efficient service. The list will include a hook and ladder outfit, and there is every reason to believe that the City Council will appropriate the necessary funds to pay for the articles needed. The members of the company desire to provide themselves with a suitable uniform, consisting of a helmet, red flannel overshirt, and belt. These articles are not for mere show, but are of real utility and necessity. The uniforms will cost about ten dollars each, and a good way to raise the means for their purchase, it seems to us, is for the businessmen of town, for whom benefit the department is more especially-designed, to subscribe generously to a fund for the purpose. This we believe they will readily do, and ere long we shall look to see in Logan a nicely uniformed and well equipped fire brigade. |
