FIRE DEPARTMENT;
It was the consensus of opinion of the Board that decision in the
matter of awarding contract for pumper should be held in abeyance at this
time.
The Fire Department application of Allen E. Yeager was examined and
ordered placed on file.

attention his department's need for an ambulette in replacement of the
ambulette which has now been in service fourteen months and shows mileage
in excess of 46,000. The Board conceded this need and directed the Clerk
to proceed with the required advertising for bids.
Chief of Police Gillen, together with Fire Chief, R. J. ?duck,
suggested to the Board the transfer of the Police Department ambulance to
the Fire Department, inasmuch as this piece of equipment is rarely used,
