Fire at Bridge- water. fact that the present money appropriation to the five lire com panies is not sufficient to maintain them, and that there is sufficient apparatus and trained firemen in the township now, is the basis for the objection to this says Aikens. Chief Aikens reported the proposed new company does not have any trained or experienced tire-fighters and they did not accept an invitation by him to join a Bensalem Fire Company to gain knowledge and experience before starting out on their own.

this there is talk of three more new companies in the township, altogether this would make nine companies in the township. The tax rate to equip and maintain this number would be staggering and the public would tie pestered to the poor house by firemen begging for funds. We want more fire companies, but instead stronger and better equipped companies. An appeal will be made to the township supervisors to reject further charters and to take action and not just talk about concludes Aikens. Bensalem township is geting died yesterday at Ills home.
