Show Fire Hydrants Being Installed Thru Efforts of Firemen, City and Local Citizens Two fire hydrants are being installed in-stalled by the city with a third purchased and ready for installation. installa-tion. These hydrants are purchased pur-chased by the citizens on the blocks they are installed on with the assistance of the City. Those being installed are on the corner of 1st North and 2nd East and 6th East and 2nd South. One is also available for either the corner of 1st North and 4th East or 3rd East. A small amount is yet to be collected collect-ed to determine which of the.se corners the hydrant is installed on. Both corners are to . have hydrants but both blocks still lack a Utile to finish their quotas. This work is being carried through by the St. George Fire department with the assistance of the City. The Firemen have solicited the money from the citizens and have given their time in an effort to get citizens to provide this fire protection. The aim of the department was for 10 hydrants this year. At the present time it appears that it will be impossible to get the full amount this year, although there are several not listed above that are partly paid for and it is the opinion of the Firemen that they will be able to secure several more. |
