It was Obvious that Chief Mitchell was not worried about the financial burden the Fire Company would suffer, nor the personal loss members would sustain due to this latest project. "The Fire Company will have to find other ways to make up the revenue" and "anyway most of them can afford the loss" Chief Mitchell told this correspondent.
