Show o Council Begins Investigation On Fire Equipment Prospect that American Fork city may soon modernize i"s fire equipment appeared this week, as two city council committees started a joint investigation of the problem. Appearing at the city council meeting Monday night, Fire Chief Walter Devey told the council that the fire truck, which has been in service for more than ten years, will soon have outlived its usefulness. He urged that the city buy a new truck, with modern equipment, to replace it. The council advised the fire and finance committees, both headed by James Tattersall, to go ahead with an investigation of the need of a new truck, and of the cost of an up-to-date machine. A. F. Christensen is the other member of the fire committee, and W. S. Storrs of the finance committee. The council appropriated $50 to the Band Mothers organization toward to-ward the purchase of suits for the band members, and considered a number of applications for abatement abate-ment of water and cemetery charges. |
