The Daily Butte Record

Reorganizing the Fire Department --By a notice which appears elsewhere in this day's Record, it will be seen that the members of the Butte Engine Company are requested to meet on Saturday evening in the County Recorder's office for the purpose of transacting certain important business. We have heard it suggested that the Buttes give a ball, the profits of which should go toward the purchase of an engine. Such a move would, in our opinion result very successfully. At any rate, the approaching dry season and the late disastrous fire at Forest City warn us to take some precautionary steps against a conflagration in Oroville.
