-82.86 THE YEAR
Passed Away Last Night
At a meeting of the Coquille Coun
cil Monday evening, it was decided
that the local fire department would
answer no calls hereafter, excepting
those for fires occurring within the
city, limits of Coquille.
Heretofore the Coquille Firi De
partment has willingly answered all
calls Within a radius of several miles
I
and has sent necessary equipment to
oombat any fires which -it has been
able to reach. However, at thia time
the Council felt that the expense of
the fire department would have to be
curtailed, and that funds were avail
able only for combating fires within
the city limits.
It is hoped that ranchers and
others living outside and within a ra
dius of a few miles of Coquille wiH
make some arrangements, to provide
ample fire protection, and if such pro
tection is requested the City Council
will assist such property owners in
procuring adequate fire protection
outside of the city limits.
Thia policy will take effect on the
1st of January, 1938, and until that
date the local department will answer
all calls as has been the policy here
tofore.
The city of Coquille will be very
