New Plans for the Wissahickon Rrc Cc.
Members   Inspect   the   Revised   Draw¬ ing—Donations    Cominq     in    Slowly j for Motor Apparatus. j
A dozen members of the Wls-sahick j on Fire comjiany, Ambler, met in the flre hall un Iriday evening, at which i time Architect Phillips presented tho revised plans for the proposed new j lire house which it is believed can be erected  for about  $12,000.
The new drawings retain the artis¬ tic effect of the front of the .structure and the practical features of the In¬ terior. The basement will be chang¬ ed but little. All the present windovvs are retained, one on the east side be¬ ing made into a door, which will open into the corridor between tho two rowa of cells. The .present heater will be utilized, ,ind only a portion ot new concrete floor will be put down. On the first floor, several of the gird¬ ers will be lowered to bring the floor tu the street level, and a concrete floor will be laid on that section occupiea by the app.aratus. A walsh with a drain will bo provided in the middle thereof. In the rear will be the gen¬ eral assembly room and at the ba<:k will be the sleeping qu.irters of the hoiwe man. (.>n the second Iloor front will be a room for council .and a com¬ mittee room in the rear, with the rest of the structure roofed over the first story. A hose tower is provided. The frontal design substitutes a plain but ornate and practical design for the loggia plan of the Hrst drawings. The brick work will be of substantial ef¬ fect and the terra cotta work of plain design, which will add to the practical simplicity of the structure.
Contractor Kemmerer, of Ambler, who was the lowest bidder on the ori¬ ginal plans, inspected the new dra*^- Ings and expressed the belief that the building can be erected within the amount above stated. Architect Phillips has the speciflcations com¬ pleted and hopes to have the new bids ready by Nov. 17 for submission to the ne.xt regular meeting of the company.
The method of financing the struc¬ ture has already been outlined in tht. "Gazette." The plan provides for a blanket mortgage to secure the isau- iuice of five per cent, bonda in de¬ nominations $100 each. These will be issued for a short term of years and sold at jiar should make a very attrac¬ tive local investment with ample se¬ curity. The company carried a mort¬ gage on its former Butler avenue loi, jiald the Interest promptly and at nearly every semi-annual interest jier¬ iod w.as able to liquidate a portion of the principal, thus establishing a re¬ putation for promptness and good m.an.agement in the conduct of its business and the control of its flnan- ci.al credit. Several local men have 3.xpresaed their desire to aubacribe to the proposed bond issue, and it is be¬ lieved th.at some of the financial in¬ stitutions also look favorably on tho issue.

A   aecond   machine     haa   been   pur¬ chased and on the chassis thereof the ! chemical  apparatus    will  be  mounted, which  will  motorize  the  whole equip¬ ment   of  the   company.
This means that the company will shortly be thoroughly equipped to promptly respond to all calls from within a district' comprised within a five-mile radius from the borough limits. The chemical motor app.ara¬ tus, which is strong, durable and of 90 horsepower, will respond to all such calls and should be able to ren¬ der valuable service In all cases. This means that the district outside of Ambler, wherein there are man.v ex¬ tensive homes and valuable property, will be protected as never before, and it is hoped that the efforts of the company to extend Its activities wUl be appreciated by those projierty owners and residents within this dis¬ trict.
Let everyone .give what he or she can. A check mailed now to H. G, Knight, president, or Wm. J. Brown, secretary, will be appreciated gjid wilt bo Immediately applied to the funds for these machines.

Care of Tires in Winter.
"The winter season seems to strengthen the properly Inflated tirs," says an official of the Fisk Rubbei company.
¦'Under-infllation is responsible for a   large  percentage  of tire  expense."
"Most motorists think that during the summer months tt^y should ride their tires at low presJnre to prevent blowouts. The decreasing of the pres¬ sure does not decrease the heating of the tire, but rather increases it, as the side walls nre subjected to a great¬ er bending strain and friction be¬ tween the layers of fabric generates heat. Due to this excessive flexing the the fabric cracks and loosens up to such an extent that the tire be¬ comes weakened. The cracked ancf chafed fabric ruins the Inner tube."
"During the winter season, the mo¬ torist does not let the air out of his tires as he does in the summer, but alows his tires to have a greater and more con.stant air pressure; hence, the percentage of tires consigned to tho scrap lieaji is much less ii^ win¬ ter than  In  aummer."
"It has been definitely determined by test, with a tire at jiroper press¬ ure, that It is impossible to effect an increase in air jiressure because of the heating of the tire when in use, tn such an extent that It will injure it in an.v way. To prevent your tirss from painting, give them the jiroper amount of air."
