and two more units on the way.
All he detachment's had arrived
except the machine gun company
from Paris and the medical de

Just been turned over to The

is the record of the fealem Gal
company, the first public service
company doing business in Salem,
and Its charter dates to Novem
ber, 1869, when the city council
gave it a franchise to do business.
The first gas works were built-in

of the original subscribers and
the kind of contracts they made
for the use of gas.
Saloons Were Prosperous
I There! were nine saloons In Sa
lem that first year, one for every
500 people in the community -and
apparently they needed that
many on the scale of drinking
then in vogue, for all1 seemed to
prosper. There was one classical
establishment, the Oriflamme.
Where it picked up the name, no
one knows, but probably out of
"King Henry of Navarre," the
poem. "Wash" Plamodon also
ran a saloon. He was rated as
one of the most upright men of
his, business who ever - did busi
ness in JJalem. -There i were all
