CITIZENS DESIRE PROTECTION The city council may rest as sured that the citizens of Corval lis will not object to a fair ex penditure for the improvement Of the fire department. The citizens of Corvallis have reached that place where they would like to see everything that is done, done well' Corvallis wants the substantial, not the slip-shod, not the make-shift. Every vdte taken the past year has- demon strated that the people have con fidence in the future of this city and that they prefer to leave off the swaddling clothes and don knee breeches, if not the . full length trousers.
