Gas Engines Replace Horses in Local Fire Department
Plainfield records indicate the city is moving toward a motorised fire department as the last horse teams are phased out over the next one to two years. The first motor apparatus arrived in 1912, replacing several horse-drawn units, with further upgrades in 1914. The department plans to dispose of unneeded horses and consolidate operations at headquarters. Also, Monroe Good of East Front Street gained All American guard consideration after a strong season at Colgate and Brown rivalry, with coaching offers following graduation.
