THE MARLIN DEMOCRAT
Eighteenth Year - Number 15
Marlin, Texas, Thursday, June 6, 1907
-------
IMPROVEMENT AT FIRE STATION
-----
Department Well Equipped with the
Quarters at Station House.
-----

       The Marlin Volunteer Fire Department has, under the direction of Assistant Chief B. F. Foster, recently overhauled, renovated and repaired its quarters at the station.  The sleeping apartments of the men who stay at the station, have received special attention and now look spick and span.
       The reception hall has been fitted with tables, chairs, etc., which will be of great convenience in meetings and consultations of the department.
       The entire interior of the second story has been repainted, the rooms overhauled and rearranged.  There will be more comfort to those who occupy them than in the past.
       A porcelain bath tub will probably be added and when this is done there will be little left to be desired for the present.
       The citizens of Marlin are greatly indebted to the department for protection to their property in the past and it should be reason for congratulation that it is now upon such a creditable basis.
