"-rf ) mm mum PERFECTLY SATISFIED APPROPRIATION OF teOO A YEAR WILL MEET NECESSARY EX PENSES OF THE COMPANIES. The volunteer firemen were feellnc ubllant Friday because of the action of Council Thuraday night In the mat ter of an Increased appropriation for he nre company expenaea In the city. At the meeting of Council the City Attorney was Instructed to draw up an ordinance appropriating $100 a year for each of the Are companies In the city, payment to be made the first of the year aa haa been the usual custom. And the firemen were feeling good In the matter. . This action does not appropriate tha money, but aa all the members voted unanimously to have the or dinance drawn It la argued that they will vote to pass It. which Is likely, ao the matter la aa good as settled.

They seem to fear as to what politics might do to the morald of the companlea. The volunteer department haa been a faithful organisation In the paat and bad tne well wishes of all the people. While the city la getting much larger and a paid department would prove Ideal, still with a little cloaer-organl satlon on the part of the volunteers a great work may yet be done-by-them and the business men and cltltena feel a warm place In .their heana for the fire laddlea. What else the firemen want In the way of Improvements and new meana of fighting Area la for the good of the cause and not for the personal benefit of any of the members. They feel that certain accessories are needed and ahould be secured, but thla la In the line of efficiency aa fire flghtera and not to enter Into any benefits for the volunteers.
