AUTOMOBILE FOR FIRE FIGHTERS Fire Chief Canfield is delighted with his new automobile which has been turned over to hint for use in the department de-partment The machine has been remodeled re-modeled by the garage men until It is now capable of carrying a 40 gal-i gal-i Ion tank of chaniicals and 150 feet i of hose. With this advantageous i equipment, Chief Canfield expects to pave Ogden many dollars by stopping incipient fires. j Instead of a gong the new fire ma- chine will have a ten-Inch bell just J 1 back of the hood which will be oper- ' I ated by a foot pedal leaving Ihe operator the free use of both hands j lor steering and feeding the gasoline. ! In furnishing and fitting this ma- 1 j chine the Becraft company has saved j the city about J1.700 as the machines I j which are specially built for this pur- j ( roso cost twice tbe amount paid and I I do no better service. This low, rangy I ! Stoddnrd-Dayton wi'l take Chief Can- ! ' field to a fire at the rate of fifty I miles an hour If he desires to go that fast it is built to, take the cor-I cor-I uvr "on the run" and will doubtless ) be the means of saving the city many expensive fires.
