(Speclul to Dally Democrat i—A special meeting hold In the town hall on Thursday night for the purpose of organizing a volunt<W r lire 'department, was well attended by the local citizens.

A meeting was set for Friday night at 8:30 o’clock, at which time an organization ' was perfected and several new members were enrolled. Monroe has felt the necessity of an organization of this kind for sometime. It has an excellent line apparatus, but has had no permanent person to manipulate the same, and since the fire on last Sunday afternoon at the Hgrmon Osterman residence, have wakened up and are noto determined to have .an eflicient working force ready and trained to cope with all fires that may occur in the future. The members of the organization are all itrong, willing men, and the citizens of the town can rest assured that when the Monroe Fire Departemnt gets in action, there will be something doin'. The time has come for the board of town dads to spare neither time nor expense in the proper protection of the town and if the present engine is too small it should be replaced with a larger and more up-to-date fire fighting machine. Montoe has always been in the fore ranks in whatever she undertook to do and intends to keep her standard as such. An electric fire alarm whistle will also be installed at once. MONROE NEWS Rev. S.
