HARTINGTON — It was voted to raise $10,000 by taxation and the levy, which was 26 mills last year, will be reduced by about eight mills which will make the levy this year about 28 mills. This money will be used to build fire escapes for the two school buildings, which by a law passed at the last legislative session, the school is now obliged to provide.
The District will also pay for the top 300 foot conduit to be built along the campus and the balance of the money will be used for incidental expenses.

HARTINGTON — A pedigreed male calf strayed away from the home of Casper Boehmer, Jr. about three weeks ago and no trace of it could be found until about three days ago when the calf came home badly disfigured. Casper believes it could have been in a cyclone or struck by a bolt lightning or may have even been too close to the Mexican war zone.

HARTINGTON- Deploring the tendency of firemen to climb onto the fire truck regardless of numbers when an alarm is sounded, the Hartington fire department at its regular meeting Friday night voted to assess fines of 50 cents each on all firemen who get on the machine after the first seven men.
At recent fires there have been as many as 15 or 20 men on the truck as it was going or coming from a fire. At the time the truck was sold, the agent stated that the capacity load for the truck should be but seven men, and from now on this ruling will be enforced. The first seven men to reach the fire house will be privileged to ride to the fire on the truck, and the same seven men will be the ones to ride back. Any others who get on the truck will be fined 50 cents for each offense.
It was argued that the seven men who ride the truck to any fire will be sufficient to handle the blaze until the rest of the firemen arrive, and in many cases they will undoubtedly be able to extinguish the flames.
The other firemen should have no difficulty in getting to fires in automobiles.
The practice of some people of getting in front of the truck in their cars and slowing it down on the way to a fire also came in for some censure. In the future the number of such cars will be taken, and fines will probably be handed out to the owners.
