NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
NEW TRUCK TRIED 
(Continued from Page 1, 3rd col.) 
was the scene of much activity Mon- 
day afternoon, when a large crowd, 
intensely interested in the proceed- 
ings, thronged the street and side- 
walks, the occasion being the try-out 
of the new combination hook” and 
ladder truck, the arrival of which, 
after many weeks of expectation and 
waiting, was noted in last week’s 
BREEZE. 
The committee on fire department, 
of the City Council, the fire depart- 
ment engineers, May or Wallis and a 
large representation from the various 
other city departments, and invited 
guests, were present. The machine 
was duly tested and found to be 
strictly up to all the requirements, 
and all that the makers claim for it. 
-After acceptance on the part of the 
committee it was housed in the West 
street engine house, where it is a 
splendid adjunct to the already fine 
appearance of the department appara- 
tus. 
At G.A.R. hall, in the evening, a 
banquet was held and speechmaking 
was in order. 
It is a Seagrave type of truck, 20 
feet in length, made of wood and steel 
trussed from end to end. It is painted 
a rich vermillion, trimmed with gold, 
such as is put on the highest grade of 
fire apparatus. 
There is a 25-foot extra wall ladder, 
two 20-foot Seagrave trussed ladders, 
one roof ladder, one 15-foot truss roof 
ladder with folding roof hook, one 18- 
foot Seagrave wall ladder, one 11-foot 
Seagrave wall ladder, all made of the 
best Oregon pine. 
The chemical engine consists of 
two 25-gallon tanks of the Holloway 
type, tanks lying horizontally under 
the trucks and made of copper. There 
is 150 feet of chemical engine hose, 
with hose pipe and all the necessary 
equipment. 
The truck, which weighs about 
3,300 pounds, .is fully equipped with 
lanterns and wire baskets, tool boxes, 
blankets, railings, and is the same as 
is in use in New York, Providence, 
Pawtucket, Holyoke and Lynn, anda 
chemical of the same make has just 
been shipped to Gloucester. 
WHEN THE LIFE INSURANCE 
Companies are under fire and are at their 
wits end to explain the unexplainable. don’t 
forget that the Fire Insurance Companies are 
doing business on business lines and that we 
make liberal rates on all kinds of INSURANCE. 
Don’t wait until you are burned out, but see 
me now.
