City seeks to buy horse for fire department chief
A conference was held in Alexandria to review Chief Pettney’s appeal to free insurance companies for contributions to buy a horse for the fire department. Officials disclaimed city responsibility, noting Alexandria’s credit history and suggesting that insurers may have declined due to the chief’s request.
