Fire Company Receives 800 Feet Of New Hose
Eight hundred feet of new fire hose arrived Saturday and was placed in engine houses for use. A request for the hose was sent to Borough Treasurer Taylor on May 9, who telegraphed for it at once. The department reports dissatisfaction with slow council action, though every request for equipment has been granted promptly. A modern expander for repairing old hose was ordered last year and, with the new hose arrival, two thirds of the hoses now out of commission can be repaired and reused.
