best of sentiment. ,T. E Cal-
[ lioun was placed in seat as the
i chairman, and I. Stone, secre-
I tary. The object of the meet-
ing was to discuss ways and
means of some Kind of fire pro-
tection for the city of Cashion.
A committee of three was se-
lected, who were Tom Mon-
tague, Henry Borklund and Dr.
Raymond, who will act in their
full capacity toward making
arrangements tor fire protec-
tion for our little city.
I Various modes of fire protec-
tion were discussed by the sen-
iors present, but the only thing
brought to a starting point was
to organize a good membership
for a bucket and hook and lad-
deer brigade, and talK of ways
of getting capital and invest-
ing it in buckets and hooks and
ladders, also of making two
more cisterns, one at the corn-
ers of S. Main and Broadway,
and the corners of N. Main and
Boulevard, but the city already
t has a good, big cistern on the
' northeast coi ner of Main and
Peuna Vista, The recent fire
demonstrated the usefulness of
cisterns in case of that kind of
calamity, but of all the water
carried that morning, til's cis-
tern was lowered only eighteen
inches*
It is out of the question at
present ror a town this size to
think of voting bonds for the
erection of a tower and tank or
standpipe with all their trim-
mings, because the revenues
received from such would hard-
ly be enough for its mainten-
ance. A bucket brigade is prac-
tical if we could see the tire in
time, but once let a tire get un-
der headway, as in the recent
case, and buckets are almost
out of the question. We don't
mean to leave the impression
that buckets this last time did
not do any good. If it hadn't
been for the boys who rallied
with their buckets of water that
morning other buildings would
have burned. Buckets are all
right in a small fire, or where
the tire is corraled.
We would suggest one way
of lire protection which might
be a great help to our city: a
night-watch, paid by popular
subscription. Any property
owners, or others interested di-
rectly in the welfare of Cashion
would contribute their little
mite toward a salary for a good
dependable man to act as city '
What It Means
' (Did You Ever
Stop to Think
What a Hank's
Capital is Jor?
A Bank's Capital
Is the funds put up by the stockholders for the protec-
tion of the depositors. Therefore, the larger the fund,
the greater the protection.
This banic has a Capital of - §25,000 00
Surplus Fund of 4,250 00
Undivided Profits - - 1,000 00 • .
Additional Stockholders' Liabilities 25,060 00
A Total of $55,250 00
This means that we must lose §55,250.00 in bad loans or
otherwise before our depositors could lose a cent. Do
you think for an instant that such a thing is likely to oc-
cur when our losses from loans since the orgai ization of
the bank in 1902 have been $80.00.
A great majority of the people of this community do
busines with this bank because its record is an open booK
and time, that "wisest of all counselors" has proven if to
be a bank of extraordinary strength and safety
