Portable Tank Aids In Fighting Fires Another valuable psset has been added to the Decatur fire department’s repertoire of equipment. The department received this week a hug portable tank for holding water, which fire chief Cedric Fisher explained will be a valuable piece of equipment at rural fires. The portable tank, that folds open, holds 1,200 gallons of water, the same quantity of water held by thetank truck which was added to the fire department this summer. Fisher explained that when the department is called to a rural fire, where many times there is no source of water, the tank truck and its 1.200 gallons of water are taken along. If the fire is one that will take a lot of water to extinguish, the new portable tank will be unfolded and the "water from the tanker emptied into it. While the firemen ai-e using the water ip the portable tank, the truck will be returned to the city to refill to its capacity from a fire hydrant. Fisher said it takes about "seven : to nine liinutes to empty the water •from the'tank into the new portaable tank, and the truck then can return to the city for more water. Since the department never has a fire more than about eight miles from the city, it takes just a short time so . return and then about three minutes to refill the tanker from a hydrant. The department has four regular fire trucks, plus the tanker, which many times is used to extinguish grass fires, as a hose apparatus was placed on it by some of the firemen. Approve Transfer Os Funds To Schools INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Board • of Finance Wednesday approved a transfer of $1.7 million from the general fund to be distributed to Indiana schools for special education as a means' of correcting a recently discovered error.

The board also approved a postwar revolving fund loan of $15,000 to Bedfbrd, with a proviso that whenever another $15,000 accumulates in the fund, Bedford is to have it. Vernon got $1,500 from the fund also. The Department of Public Welfare was authorized to spend SSOO for “temporary assistance for repatriates.” Reckless Driving Charge Is Filed James H.

To Broaden Cost Os Living Index ' WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Labor Department will check prices from the cradle to the i grave for its streamlined cost-of-living index that will appear next Frebruary. The costs of funerals—a controversial national topic—“ Will be calculated for the first time in computing average expenses of the city-dwelling wage earner. . Labor Department officials said investigators would check the price of a complete funeral with undertakers in 50 cities. Their findings pn funerals will not be listed separately by the government but will be blended with other price data in determining the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Bank service charges, legal fees, room rent,, and hotel and motel charges also will be checked for the first time next January for inclusion in , the revised index. The index already includes the cost of a baby delivery, a tooth, beer and whisky, movie admissions and news- , <•_ papers in addition to food, housing and transportation. The index, often considered one of the government’s most valuable statistics. will be broadened to include single persons living alone. It formerly was limited to families of two or more. Ewan Clague, commissioner of labor statistics, said this would make it more useful as an indicator of how the 60 million urban wage earners in the nation spend their incomes. Changes in the price of food, often of major importance in the index’s fluctuations, will be considerably less important” in the new measure of inflationary trends, Clague said.°n the other hand, housing and transportation costs will have more weight in the index starting next year.
