Legislation calls for a bond of about 10 000 at the next general election to fund rehab of the fire department. Funds would cover remodeling City Hall to house the department and laying larger central city water mains. WPA assistance could cut costs by more than half. Councilman P F Good backs the plan, linking fire improvements to lower insurance costs, with two thirds of costs potentially covered by WPA aid. Council orders inquiry into issuing additional bonds to obtain federal aid for public works.
