34. For fighting fire: Any firewarden, $2 for 5 

 hours or less, and 30 cents per hour thereafter. 

 Helpers, $1 for 5 hours or less, and 20 cents per hour

 worked the same time are allowed to go.

 be charged at cost. 



40. It is expected that a firewarden will look after 

 the interests of his township and allow no item in a
