About one hundred members attended a three hour session of the Friendship Fire Company. They pressed to raise city appropriations to match the Charley Rouss Fire Company by $300 and to share proceeds from the sale of the old Charley Rouss engine house with the three companies. A committee was named to protest perceived discrimination by Chief Fire Warden J. W. Sibert in prioritizing the Rouss company for out of town calls. They also moved to ban Sunday card games and to recapture deferred purchase money from the church sale, proposing a three way split among Friendship Sarah Zane and Rouss.
