'
Nome Goes Modern
With New Fire
Equipment
^ The new Chevrolet fire truck •
for the City of Nome was receiv-i
ed on this Victoria, and delivered I
to the fire department yesterday
afternoon.
After it had been inspected and
gassed up trials were made today
and a few minor adjustments
have been completed.
On a run through Front Street
to the East End, the truck per-1
formed perfectly and with its set
of booster pumps, sucked dry, a
well at the east end in two min-,
utes, testifying to the power and
resourcefulness of the machine.!
Preparations are going ahead for
the installing of the hose on the
truck and the placing of other
equipment from the old wagon
truck.
No definite time has been set
when the new truck will take ov
er the duties of the old equip
ment which has been in service
* for the pasrt twenty-five or more
years, drawn by horses, although
it is expected that the new outfit;
will be in action within a day or
two.
And that brings to mind the old
question: "What to do with the
horses” That question has both
ered the past three or four coun
cils until it is a permanent head
ache. However, it is believed
that suitable arrangements will
be made soon and the horses dis
posed of.
When placed in service, it will
be certain that no cars in town
or people for that matter will be
at the scene of a fire before the
fire department, as has occurred
so many times in the past. So,
here's looking forward to “Nome
Going Modern in a Big Way",
with its new fire department
equipment, minus the olfactory
profanication.

interest, and also due to the ad
ministration's policy of trying to
balance the budget in 1938.
