TO RETIRE SIX FIRE HORSES.
City Plans to Save Faithful Animals
From Strange Keepers.
Six horses, that have become decrepit in the service of the fire department, are to be put on the retired list. Chief Egner asked the board of public works yesterday to either sell the horses or trade them for a team that can do the work.
R. H. Williams of the board and President Gregory suggested that if the animals were still able to do ordinary work, they should be transferred to the street or water department. There they will get the care and consieration to which they have been accustomed.
