Reply #142: His neighbor subscribed... [View All]

[hayu_lol]

the fire dept. went to the neighbors and when the fire crossed the property line, they protected their subscriber. They had one pumper and one water tanker...when that was used up...they would have been out of business. They had to protect someone who subscribed. The subscription fee was in lieu of the taxes that the commissioners would not levy...they defeated that measure 19/1.

$75/year comes down to $1.44/week. How many beer cans do you have to pick up to manage that. Hardship cases I would bet could get reasonable terms from the S Fulton VFD.

This guy got a letter asking him to subscribe, got a phone call to subscribe, maybe the Chief made a visit. He declined to subscribe.
