During the past week Councillor

tions about the fire engine of this
town. It seems that Hensel' has prac-
tically nu fire protection and during
the past few years the Observer and.
citizens have been talking the matter
up. Following is a letter sent the
Hensall Council by the town Clerk on
Monday: -

Bider of great importance and hope of the town of Clinton has notified
that our conclusion in regard to this me of a telephone conversation which

ence to your purchase of our steam
tiro engine.
This engine was purchased by the
town of Clinton in the,year 1878 trent
the Ronald Fire Engine Co., or
Brussels, Ontario, costing $2900.00.
In 1905 we had this engine thoroughly
refitted, cylinders rebored, and in feet
everything done to it that was necess-
ary to make it as good as new. This
transaction cost us $950.00.
It is now fully twe years or better
since we have had any use for this
engine, so you will readily see that
slime 1905 when it was repaired it has
bad very little to do and is today prac-
tically as good as when it was first
mNadoel:withstanding that this engine
cost us originally $2900.00 and that we
have spent 0950 00 in putting it in first,
