William Dunn, of Wyoming aenue, held tho lucky ticket that won tho bicycle at Lautel Hill park Saturday. There is an ominous cloud of largo proportions looming upojihe council manic hoiUon which so far as West Scranton lesldents are concerned will break In the near future and cause considerable trouble. Unless steps nre taken to ofiset the penny wine and pound foolish policy In fire protection, effective and general action niuy be taken. In West Scranton, with Its popula tion of 35,000, a tesldentlal class occu PJlng principally fiame dwellings, there are three companies. These aie the Eagles, located on Fifth street, near the corner of Luzerne street: the Columbia, on Division street, near Main nenue, nnd the Fiankllns on North Hyde Park avenue, near Jack son street. The llrst named Is a hose company halng R00 feet of hose, and it ever needed above the Bloomsburg line would necessarily consume much valu able time, owing to the steep ap proaches onto Main nvenue fiom tho lower portion of West Scranton, whec they are located. The Columblas are at present a com bination hose and chemical company. They have 300 feet of hose, but depe. d In most Instances solely unon their chemical tanks. The present ntpai ntus, owing to the natur of West Scranton Btreots, is entirely too heavy for quick and efficient servlc A rem edy was sought. A chemical appar atus, pure and simple, will bo pur chased within a few weeks and located at the Columbia quarters, thu displac ing the combination apparatus. The llrst pernicious effect Is hete discern ible. Three hundred feet of fire hose Is thus taken away from this side. The Fianklln is an engine company, but there Is a hose wagon located here too. There Is 500 feet of hose, but the engine has now seen tw Ice as many jeais' service as It was cuatanleed to undergo. It invariably breaks down nouadavs on the least pretext and eery case of repairs necessitates the flittering away of several dollars. A few w eehs from now West Scran tonlans will face the situation of hav ing one chemical engine of small cap nrlv, COO feet of hose and broken down steamer with which to be protected from lire. The remedy, firemen say, for the present state of affairs lies In getting a new steamer, and In the ad dition of v. hose wagon, man nnd horse or team to the Columbia's, thus adding another 500 feet of hose. Or on the othei hand, another lire company. The latter, however, Is not as practicable as the former. That something must be done and Immediately is the whole sentiment of thinking West Scranton residents. today on their annual excursion out ing. Mnny tickets have been sold, and according to the announced arrange ments of the committees a pleasant day is in store for those who attend. The funeral of Michael, the Infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Moian. was held yesterday afternoon from the parentnl residence, 919 Scranton street. Many friends of tho bereft parents at tended.
