The city council lias practically reached a deadlock so far as selecting fire apparatus is con corned. A triple combination has been voted down and an auto truck has met with the same fate. The council has failed to agree as to what shall be secured. All however, are of the opinion that some kind of apparatus should and must bo procured. The peo ple in general also seem to be divided on the question as to which is best to buy. One coun cilman has stated that the reason the people in the outlying iliK tricts did not want a pumping cnirinc was because in some in stances the pumping attachment' might not prove of material ben efit. And the business section docs not want anything else, be cause nothing else would prove adequate in case of a large fire. Of the two factions it would seem that tho business interests arc the more magnanimous, because they propose that an apparatus be purchased that could be util ized, all or in part, anywhere in the city, while the other fac tion wants an apparatus that they believe will servo to the greatest degree of elllcW ncy in tho resi dence district only, and would not avail against (Iron in large structures. It is also contended that the city of Portland posses ses no triple combination ma chine, but it is explained that Portland has no need of a triple because it has paid men at hand to man the different pieces of apparatus separately, while in smaller cities where less pau men arc used, the triple is the only practical machine, wher only one machine is nrocurcc Portland, however, has two com bination hose and pumping ma otiincs, titosamens Jumonstrat in St. Johns, but without the chemical engine. And the price paid lor eacn machine, it is tin derstood, is $0000. It won seem that the best would not too good for St. Johns. Progres Hive in most everything else, St .Johns has not been progrostiiv so far as lire lighting apparatus is concerned, mono opposed a pumping engine give ae one reason for their stand that tho water supply is inadequate atu without Bulliciont force. Those in favor of the pumper content that is the very reason why pumping attachment ia essentia -to supply force where force lacking. As a matter of fact pumping attachment can be user wherever theiv is a lire hyditmt and llioHpt'od of the engine coul I i t i t i,t ue reguiaieti to null hip size o the maiiiK. It is now pronoaed to find way out of tho difficulty by holt ing a special election, and letiv ing it up to the people to doei what kind of apparatus they want, wnomor mis will clear tho atmosnhoro to any ureat ox tent, or be a wiso move to make, is a matter of conjecture. The pcoplo as a rule, Homo contend know little or nothing about fir apparatus, and. therefore, tlifll cult for thorn to vote intelligently upon same, it is pointed out that thoy have elected repre semativostoiooK into mutters o this nature, ami get what most feasible and practical, after n thorough investigation: that the people tlo not havo the time or tho opportunity to investigate. and whon thoy vote on such a proposition can only tlo so blind- iy or irom an impretMion they havo formed from what thov havo aeon or hoard; and knowing little or nothing concerning such matters, it is more than likely i would "cut more ice" It will pay you in security, in safety and in compound interest that transfers units of dollar values into tens, and tens into hundreds. Consider how the big men got their first foothold. It's only the first thousand that comes hard, Friend. The rest of the road is paved with the en thusiasm of Oliver Twist's desire for MORE. FIRST NATIONAL BANK, ST. JOHNS, OREGON be that price with them than anything else, unu mo moms oi me machine given litllo consideration. In view of the fact that we havo no organuod lire lighting force, havo only inferior and inadequate apparatus, and that thcro is a likelihood that umv anco rates will soon increase or bo cut off in somo instances. there is justification for calling a special election, since the council cannot agree. Under the provisions of tho city charter it is somewhat iiouuuui u lire an paratus could bo purchased on the installment nlan. wliothoi- the city has tho right to purchase anything without having the money on hand with which to pay for that which is purchased therefore a bond issue would seem to bo tho practical thing to do. Somo citizens claim that the city council, as representative or tho people, with the onnor tunity to investigate, should tie- cido lor tho people as to what is needed, if thoy themselves could agree. It is not so much what is the most popular, but which in tho estimation of the councilmon is the most serviceable and prac tical. Councilman Chadwick is a strong.advocato of cal inga spec ial election and vol ng upon threo bonding propositions, viz; Pumper and hose at $9,000; pumper and hose and auto truck and chemical at about $12,000: pumper and hose and chemical and hose at $113,000, placing each proposition tin the ballot inde pendent of the other. He be lieves in St. Johns securing the best apparatus obtainable, some thing it can point to with a great ileal of pride and gratification. Ho does not favor a trinle com bination, believing that better) service can be secured by having the pumper separate from the chemical. How tho matter will nnpearon the ballot if an election is called has not been definitely decided, but from tho present outlook 't seems apparent that the matter will be left to the people to make selection. t- Don't forget that our towns M-m t i man u. U i.owih ts a candidate for Hcnresentativc on the Ho publican ticket. He has lived In St. Johns for soveral years and is known to most of ourciti zeus as an active and hustling gentleman. That ho would do anything in his power if electetl to advance the interests ol this section is a foregone conclusion It would be wisdom on the part tif St. Johns pcoplo to vote for men who havo knowledge o nut are interested to some ex tent in the development of the lower Peninsula.
