Perkins verr ably answered Mr. Strong's article In opposition to the auto fir truck, and we thank him for his kindness, bat as ther are a few points ha did not touch upon we wish to explain these to your readers so that they may have a thorough understating of the auto truck proposltlopDefor Toting upon the measure. It Is not our wish or intention to force upon the taxpay ers of Roseburg something they do not want, but we, aa firefighters, have so much faith In the superiority and many advantages of the auto truck that we want every voter thor oughly to understand the auto truck and conditions aa they exist In Rose burg at the present time. In beginning his article Mr. Strong stated tv 'rsome of our. arguments worer.ar-fetciied, as they related to fire departments in distant cities, and that undoubtedly they were supplied by companies having fire apparatus for sale. The publicity committee did, it Is true, secure considerable publicity matter from a company hav ing fire apparatua for sale, but we secured this from only one company and we wrote to them asking for It. Every bit of this Is either signed by some city official or Is clipped from newspapers, and Is bona fide. He may consider some of the arguments far-fetched, but we do not. In choos ing the cities that have motor ap paratus we tried, st least, even If some of them are distant, to pick cities that compare favorably to Roseburg In slse and condition. Burlington, Vermont, Is larger than Roseburg, but we choso this city be cause a Roseburg man. L. A. Sanc tuary, recently visited there and saw the auto truck In operation. Ask him about It. Regarding the Lambert fire in North Roseburg, of which Mr. Strong spoke, we want you to know that an auto truck would havo saved a large portion of tho house, while as It was it burned to the ground, and had the lot been inflamable It. too, would have burned. Tho small North Rose burg hose enrt wns the first and only pleco of apparatus to reach the fire. and when It did get there and the hose wan laid It was found that It lacked about 50 feet of reaching the fire. Mr. French with his auto truck iett the city hall with the chomicn! truck, but ho got stuck on tho way and tho flro was past control when ho arrived. An auto truck such as wo want could have reached the flro by the time tho North Roseburg cart did and wo would havo had to work with :io gallons of chemical, nxes, ladders, etc., and what would have been In that enso moro Important, 1200 feet of standard hoso.

On this occasion tho flrc rigbtlng apparatus was taken from the fire Iioubo and drnwn ns far aa tho McClallen Hotel by hand, where It was left when It waB seen that no good could bo done with chemicals and that wo did not have enough hose to reach tho fire.
