Port Hope Considers Fire Engine Purchase Plan
Councillor Benson Spicer reports three Port Hope fire engines hold a total depreciated value of 1560 dollars. He notes Ontario law bars selling or buying municipal firefighting vehicles after 15 years, making two older engines valueless for resale. A 1949 International is valued at 7800 dollars and will drop to 1560 by year end. He urges planning for a new engine costing about 16000 dollars, possible to reduce by local install of basic equipment, with engines in reasonable repair.

A Vineland researcher notes at least five peach varieties tailored for specific uses. Redhaven matures mid August and freestones, good for freezing. Golden Jubilee is for canning, not for freezing. Jubilees freestone with bright color, Envoy is good for freezing and canning, V varieties peak late August or September, Elberta is ideal for canning and freestone.
