----
Firemen shortly after 9:20 o'clock this morning extinguished a blaze which broke out on the truck of George Glick who was depositing rubbish at the city dump. Only slight damage resulted from the blaze.
The fire broke out when the truck, which had been left in reverse gear and which Glick was endeavoring to start by cranking, backed into a fire in the dump, Assistant Fire Chief Ray Morgan said.
