Show Ex-Service Man Offers to Aid in Catching Firebugs Editor Standard: I have a proposal to put forth that might aid to rid our city of these cowards that work during dur-ing tho night, causing Irreparable dam-j age to this community by burning our manufacturing nnd other plants vital to the welfare of our city. My proposal is to make an appeal to our ex service men w ho, with the training train-ing received while in the servic would be the proper men to handle this situation. Hae them offer their BeirlC6B to patrol the manufacturing and other districts until wo have eth- r j caught or driven these cowards from our city We would also have to put the said districts to use an army term out of 1 bounds to all citizen.-t after a certain hour of the night, say 9 p. m. We would then know that anyone within this restricted district would be there for no good purpose. I am an ex-service man with 34 months' overseas service to my credit ; and would offer my services. I know j all the boys will do their part to rid our city of these undesirables. (Signed) ARTHUR SM ALLEY. |
