Except for a rather serious discussion on how to help improve the volunteer fire department of the borough, council of the Borough of Bell Acres, at its regular meeting held Monday evening. August 14, 1969, confined itself to mostly routine business.
George M. Gaydos, Jr., president of council, expressed his concern over the outmoded equipment of the fire department. The fund campaign which the fire company promotes once a year does not provide them with sufficient funds to purchase necessary equipment. He suggested, therefore, that since the American LaFrance fire truck which the borough purchased for the fire department in 1964 Was paid off last year, that council offer whatever financial aid the' borough finances will permit to help the volunteer firemen purchase other badly needed equipment.
Members of council all agreed that a fire company without proper equipment cannot provide adequate fire protection to a community. William E. Latta, Chairman of Property & Supplies Committee. reconimended that the fire company be requested to submit a list of ths most essential items they will need to update their equipment. His committee will then review the list and make theit recommendations to coun-jCil.
