Onee moire we -have reason to »e
p[•gUd ^of .the Centr~.l ,Point fire
department. itnd ~ e~utpment. At th•=
time, over tihree years aka that tltP
wetter and George -Ford `spent so
many hours rebuilding ..the o}d fire
truck and adding the new pump anti
tank we predicted that' there would
coYne many times that this equipment
would save many Limes lt.9 coat. And
trill prediction came true once more
the other day at the Sugar Pine Sliti.
;Manager Chauncey Floret' state::
that the only thing which saved. the
main mill from burning was the fact
that they 'were able to check the fire
~mmediately,wtth the small hose from
the tank untlt the forest sPrvit~
pumpers al•rived. Their men then het~l
the fire under control until o[m boys

There have been rumors that th
burning of dead grass on vacant lo~.<
within the city would not be' p~i•niit-
ted this year .oUt account of the smoi~e
PaII interfering with army air obser-
vatians. Ari` inquiry to the state fire
warden's. office this morning brought
the repay that no such regulation.riarl
been issued and ao tar as they knew
our fi[•e. department would be able tq
burn the dead grasss within the clt~
as usual. There is a heavy growth cf
grass and weeds throughout the city
Lhis year which la a dangerous Pi: e
hazard and we a[•e glad to repo$-t'
that Fire Chef Tharp is planning t
burn off the vacant lots as usual.
