Mr. Hoyt pointed <br /> out that the Appropriation Committee was not in favor of <br /> purchasing capital expenditures out of expense accounts es <br /> they believe the citizens of the Town should have the right <br /> to vote on such items . Further discussion by Mr. Emery - <br /> this set is second-hand; used by the State originally and <br /> Mr. Anderson has it now. It is in first class working <br /> condition. Mr. Emery rent on to say that they had un- <br /> expended balances in the Fire Fighting Equipment account of <br /> around $150.00, and plenty of money unexpended in the Fire <br /> Alarm Maintenance ac-ount so that the purchase of the two- <br /> way radio set could be taken care of very nicely. <br /> One Two-Ton Truck Chassis <br /> a c ass s TE a Diamond T Motor Truck and <br /> is to replace Hose 1 housed in Fast Lexington Fire Station. <br /> rose 1 was purchased in the year 1912. Engine #2 was bought <br /> in 1925 and will have to be replaced soon. The $3,000.00 <br /> requested for the Two-Ton Truck Chassis will include a 500 <br /> 7allon pump, necessary metal, running boards, rear deck - <br /> In fact everything necessary to complete a hose wagon. The <br /> cost of the chassis alone with dual tires amounts to $2,400.00. <br /> If the Town were to purchase a new hose truck complete, it <br /> would cost in the neighborhood of $6,500.00. <br /> Fire 'epartment-Personal Services <br /> The salaries of the Captains will be the same <br /> as last year; Privtes-eight full-time men, six men at $6.00 <br />
