They Bhould Recrive Competmatlon for Their Work at a Fire A largo number of our cltlz ns have boon giving our firemen deserved praise for tho excellent work done at tho fire Friday night. Hud It not been for the good water pressure and the effective work of tho firemen tho destruction of property would have been much greater than it was. On account of the cold and storm tho flromen suffered considerable, yet thoy stuck bravuly to their pimt and shirked nut at all. and this hard and disagreeable work was done without pay because the firemen are lojal citizens who are wili ng to make sacrifices and endure hardships to protect the town from tho lire fiend A paid fire company could not have worked harder to protect protorty. While the borough coffer would not warrant tho paying of annual salaries to tbe members of tbe fire company, yet wo believe provision could, and should, be made for paying the firemen for actual work done at afire. Surely no one would object to such a propo sition? The fire company is worthy of more than kind words. Amelia Bingham.
