Goderich August, z6, -No better need for the purchase by the Town Council of a Modern auto truck should be necessary after seeing the delay when the fire alarm was rung about 5,30 to -night for a chimney fire at C. W. Wurtelles, on St. Vincent street, cit- izens say. Considerable delay was caus- ed by the absence of a team, An auto truck was. pressed into service, but it had not got very far before the iron on the end of the tongue pulled off, By this time the town team, which is called the fire team, arrived' and the wagon got away. Fortunately the fire was out by the time they started, Had the fire been of a serious nature the result would have been disastrous. That the present alarm and fire system needs a big improve- ment is the opinion of prominent busi- ness ;nen and citizens. The fire team, which works for the corporation; is oftentimes out of hearing of the bell, and many times on the outskirts of, the town. The matter was discussed in Council some months ago but no action was taken., HONORED BY MONTENEGRO.
