The Milwaukee Convention.

James McFall, secretary of the International Association of Fire Engineers, states that he received a communication from Chief Clancy, of Milwaukee, showing that the coming convention promises to be a great success. Manufacturers of fire apparatus are showing a lively interest in the meeting, as indicated by the number of applications for exhibit space already received. So far, 20 pieces of motor apparatus have been booked, and a correspondingly large number of entries have been made in other lines. Chief McFall says: “It looks to me that the convention this year will surpass that of Syracuse, both in attendance and the size and variety of the exhibits.”
