Fire Fighting Committee Plans Equipment and Levy
A Friday night meeting of the fire fighting committee chaired by Dr. Bills discussed placing alerts on Manila street poles between the post office and Briscombe's. Subcommittees were formed to manage time and duties, with gear to include a cistern or wheeled apparatus, an extension ladder, a suction hose, hurricane lamps, and 12 helmets. The council was asked to fund six extinguishers, funds were needed due to hard times, and levy details were set to 64. A demonstration and competition will be held next month at the Mechanics Institute Continental, with a practical next Wednesday night. The president donated £1 to Mr. Binns for services as instructor.
