New Ford Truck Ordered for Fredericksburg Fire Dept
A fire emergency last Saturday spurred Fredericksburg volunteers to order a new Ford truck from L Kott & Co. The committee, after several conferences, plans to raise 600 to 700 dollars through entertainments rather than direct donations. The town will back the loan, and Fourth of July events will kick off the fundraising, welcoming soldiers home and aiding the fund.
