making was in order and the mem- 
bers of the board of selectmen and 
the engineers were called upon for 
remarks. Among those to respond 
to toasts were Chairman F. kK. Swett

among other things of the efficiency 
of the department. Charles C.

curate account of the history of the 
department, going back some 40 
years and bringing his hearers step 
by step up to the recent Bullock bak- 
ery fire. Asst. Engineer George 8. 
Sinnicks made a speech in which he 
presented the department with a pic- 
ture of the hose wagon with ‘‘Tom”’ 
and ‘‘Jerry’’ and their driver. This 
will be hung in the room of the hose 
company at the Engine house.

mons, Melissa Stanley, Ruth Baker,

the May Queen. Myrtle Preston
