O. U. A. m. AWARDS CONTRACT Hanover TowmUp Seeks' Additional Protection Within Ninety Daji; Martx Bid Wins LYNDW00D FOLK COMPLAIN Additional fire protection for residents of Hanover Township within tha next few days has been assured through Hanover Township commis sioners awarding to Frank Marts of Plymouth, a contract amounting to $10,200 for furnishing a Wilts triple combination fire engine.

The eon-tract stipulates that the apparatus shall be delivered to the commissioners within the next ninety days. Where the new combination engine will tie stationed has not been determined by the commissioners but It Is probable that the apparatus will be sent to the Newtown section where it is said to be most needed. Mr. Marti allowed the township $100 on the old truck now stationed at Preston. The commissioners received bid from United States Rubber Com pany offering to furnish Styx brand hose carrying thirty pound pressure and guaranted for thirty years at $1.80 a foot but no action was taken by the commissioners on awarding a contract The newly purchased White truck will be capable of pumping S00 gallons of water a minute.

Representatives of Franklin Hose Company of Lee Park were assured that the firemen would receive their pay during the early part of April when the commissioners receive the taxes. William Davis, a member of the health board, was discharged following charges of neglect of duty and John Emmi.nuel was named to succeed Mr. Davis. Stanley Balajszls was appointed truck driver of the Breslau fire apparatus to succeed Mr. Emmanuel.

The new appointments will become effective on March 1. A delegation of residents of the Lyndwood section appeared before the board and complained of poor police and fire protection. They were informed that the commissioners had ordered installation of five fire plugs but that the work has been delayed by Spring Brook Water Company for some unknown reason. Pennsylvania Power Light Company haa promised to Install five lights In Iona Place and seven lights In Lyndwood but Is waiting for the weather to moderate before undertaking the work, claiming that present condition of roads there prohibits entrance of the company's trucks. Regarding the request for additional police protection the delegates were Informed that the police fund appropriation in the new budget does not provide for additional policemen and residents of that section will he obliged to be content with the present system-Joseph Gutkowskt was named to a position on the police force to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of one of the officers by Luzerne County court recently.

Price's property was Insured to the extent of $4,000. The origin of the fire is unknown. This was the second fire at the Price home within twenty-four hours.
