"They responded very quickly. They did an excellent job, but there just wasn't much that they could do," Dyer said.

By about 3 a.m., he said, the fire had been put out. Christianson said, was all wood, and it went up just like a bonfire." He had been called to the scene by Dyer. Both Dyer and Christianson said that they were uncertain how the fire started. fire killed six rare young double-wattled cassowaries, a bird from Australia and New Zealand resembling an ostrich. No other animals were hurt or killed, and no other building was damaged.

Christianson said he had been especially proud of the six chicks, which he said were worth more than $1,000 each. "They're goofy little things, they usually die right after hatching in captivity. besides us, only a zoo in Denver had been able to get them 1 past the danger period." The chicks the oldest of which was about 3 months old, the youngest about a month old had been separated from their parents and put into the destroyed building to be kept warm during the night. The parent cassowaries remain safe, and Christianson said that he hopes they will successfully mate again next year. The building, however, is another story, he said.

It was constructed out of long cedar logs from British Columbia, and it's unlikely they could obtain such logs again, Christianson said. Christianson said that he believed the building was insured for about the cost of its construction. burns Still, "we were so proud of what we had, and it's impossible for the insurance to cover the loss some of it you just couldn't put a price tag on." He indicated that the ruins of the building would be carried away this fall, with planning for a new building to begin over the winter. Rebuilding is complicated by the fact that the 200 receives no tax monies or government grants, although it is supported by a private organization, the Dakota Zoological Society, Christianson said. Jim Christianson, Marc's son, said that "people have already written out checks" to be used in How to help Donations to aid in the rebuilding of the Dakota Zoo's main building can be sent to the Dakota Zoological Society, Box 711, Bismarck.

The donations are tax-deductible. the rebuilding. "'We'll get it rebuilt, no doubt about it." He indicated that a concerted community fund-raising drive is a good possibility. Walt Neuens, a director of the Society, told The Tribune, that he and other directors will be meeting at noon Friday to discuss the situation. He predicted that "we'll open on time next spring.

Even if we have to pitch a tent, we'll get going again." Christianson, even as he was looking at the burned-out building, echoed that determination. "It's at the end of the season, which is a small consolation, 1 suppose. But," he said, the drizzle falling around him, "this isn't the end for the zoo. "It's a setback all right, but we're not going to let it beat us." Mandan studies cuts CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A For Mandan's Police Department (33 employees), the budget next year stands at more than $700,000 while the fire department (five fulltime and 25 volunteers) may cost about $147,000 in 1986. Some changes are being considered in connection with the Fire Department, including one for the 1986 budget.

Commissioner Bruce Boehm, who holds the portfolio for the fire and police departments, suggested Wednesday that the $38,600 insurance premium payback through the state Insurance Department be transferred to the city instead of to the Fire Department, where it has been divided among firefighters. The city could use the money for equipment, half for 1986 and half for future major purchases, he said. However, that would cut down on the money that the volunteers now get at the end of the year. NOW THE city pays the volunteers as a group $125 per fire call and training session, and that, combined with the payback, is divied up among firefighters annually, based on attendance. That pay ranged from $550 to $2,800 for them, according to city officials.

Boehm suggested that the city could increase its pay-per-call to $150, budgeting $22,500 for calls and training, instead of the $21,000 in the preliminary budget. Gerhardt said he is concerned about losing volunteers. Boehm acknowleged there could be some that would quit. He said that a meeting is planned with volunteers to review the matter. The fire commissioner also suggested that non-profit, tax-exempt institutions be charged $150 per fire call or false alarm and questioned whether fire inspections should be done free for private, profit-making businesses, such as day-care centers.

BUt GERHARDT said he fears the prospect of charging schools for false alarms, offering a dilemma in which a teacher smelling smoke might be thinking about repercussions from the $150 charge if it turned out to be a false alarm.

Said Gerhardt: "I don't know how we got into it (ambulance subsidies) but I think it's time we look into getting out of it." Commissioners plan to meet with ambulance representatives at next Tuesday's regular meeting. The prospect of eliminating the job of city forester, held by Terry Schmidt, arose, too. "It's no reflection on the job Terry does," said Boehm.

"He's doing an excellent job." The city had gone with a volunteer for some time before hiring Schmidt two years ago. Now the question is, said Boehm, is it an essential service? Schmidt's forestry department budget for $1986 is nearly $12,000. To add to city coffers, the mayor suggested looking at a city sales tax. It should at least be considered as another means of gaining revenue, she said. But, Boehm countered, if Bismarck approves its sales tax, that could produce additional shopping dollars in Mandan.
