Councilman Nunn stated, "If you could see what the Fire Department does, it gives you a much deeper appre- ciation of our responsibility as councilmen which involves protection of our Town and we must spend money to get decent fire equipment." More discussion followed. The Mayor then called for a vote on the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Further discussion was had concerning State legislation now pending whereby each individual city would have its own key rate for insur- ance purposes and the classification of a city is partly based on its fire department and firefighting equipment. He said our city's present classification is "unprotected" which carries a high insur- ance premium. In answer to Councilman Davis' question, the Mayor advised the Fire- men's Fund bank account is a type of "pal" fund for use by the volunteers. More discussion was had, this time concerning long range spending for capital improvements needed by the City. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
