Trustee May Purchase Fire Fighting Tools Under an act passed by the recent । Legislature, Trustees will be per- । mitted either singly or jointly with ' other Trustees or Towns and Cities .to purchase fire fighting apparatus I and equipment. | “This is a good law if handled । properly," says the Indiana Fire (Prevention Journal, and continues, । “it will enable rural districts to provide for adequate means of fighting fires. A great deal of country property can be saved thereby and rural fire losses greatly reduced. Many townships over the state will and should take the opportunity afforded under this new law to provide for proper and suitable fire fighting apparatus and equipment. By so doing a great deal of good can be done in saving much property in the country from total destruction by fire. “But those townships and small town officials upon whom will devolve the task of purchasing fire fighting apparatus and equipment suitable to be used in rural districts or small towns should be extremely careful in making such purchases. If they are not, they will bring discredit upon themselves and destroy the good that is possible under the law." , Diamond Jubilee On State Faii- Program This is the 75th year of the Indiana State Fair. It will be held from September 3rd to 10th and will celebrate its Diamond Jubilee Year. Seventy-five yearly expositions have been held since 1852. The Fair . management will set aside one day for those who attended the first state fair, 75 years ago and if they will write E. J. Barker, Sec.-Treas., Indiana Board of Agriculture, Room 234, State House, Indianapolis,, Indiana, they will be honored guests for that day having special privileges ’ such as free admission to the gates, grandstand, and coliseum. 1927 visitors to the Indiana State Fair will find a marked contrast even to the annual events of a few years ago.
