SHELDON AUTO
WILL BE TRIED
8YJIRE CHIEF
If Satisfactory, Gat Wagon Will Be
Used to Pull Chemical Engine
to Fires.
Only a small number of residents
responded to the call for a public
meeting at the fire hall last night,
for the purpose of organizing a
volunteer fire department, and no
definite action was taken, in con
sequence.
The suggestion was made that the
Sheldon auto, which was brought to
Nenana on the last snow and left
here by the veteran auto trail blazer,
be given a trial as motive power
for the chemical engine, and if satis
factory, arrangements be made for
the use of the auto during the sum
mer to haul the chemical to fires,
j in case any should occur. Such an
1 arangement, it was pointed out,
would insure prompt response to
fire calls and make less urgent the
organization of a volunteer depart
ment.
This plan met with the approval
of those present, and it also appear
ed to be the concensus of opinion
that the town purchase a regular
auto fire truck, at a latter date.
Another meeting will be called
j later, at which time another attempt
j will be made to organize a depart
I ment.
