Dear Editor:
Seeing as how you miss some
news nearly every week that
should be in the paper I thought
that you might permit me to
contribute to The Tribune each
week from among the items I
pick up on the street.
I know that you are busy and
can't be on the street all the
time like I can so I thought I
might give you some ideas and
news all at the same time. If
this is satisfactory please let me
knnow sol can start looking for
another pencil stub and get to
work on next week's pick-ups.
Hoping that you will be able
to use my ideas I bes to re-
main Yours truly
Uncle Hezzie
P.. S. (plenty spare-ribs) I
will answer one question . each
week that is sensible so hoping
you the same I remain as above.
The above letter no doubt will
be of interest to our readers. We
are aware of the fact that yes
we do miss news nearly every
week almost any publication
r is guilty of such. So why not
take a chance and see what this
'dear old character has to offer
in the way of news for this pa-
per. You understand Uncle Hezzy
the Tribune reserves the right
to omit any copy you might send
in that is slanderous or tends to

Fire Record In. '39;
Loss Is $13070.55
Bartlett's fire record for 1939
was more than four times as
great as it was during 1938.
The total fire loss for the past
twelve months- was $13070.56
as compared with $3115.78 in
the preceding year. The-1937
loss was eleven thousand dol-
lars. The figures represent only
the amount of insurance. collect-
ed on the fires. iltf does not in-
clude $2500 insurance paid by
the mutual organization because
this is not charged against Bart-
lett by the State Insurance De-
partment and has no effect on
insurance rates.
Insurance rates are set in
March and it will not be deter-
mined' until that time whether
or not this record will bring a
penalty to Bartlett. Chief D. D.
Bartlett stated Tuesday that it
looked like a penalty would be
assessed.
