A. communication „was read from the secretary of the ..Fire Brigade; asking that the council' buy the fire= men's boots. This was filed: One from, Capt. Clarke of the, Salva- tion Army asking that a grant of ten dollars, the amount of 'the rent ,paid s thetwn • theuse f for o the Arm oP b Y as hall for a lecture, be given to the S. A.

A communicationwas read' from thq Alexander.; Murray Company; re Rotar B. This was dealt with in the, report of the chairman 01., the street committee. Mr. Bishop, assistant Fire Marsh- all, who had been making an inspec- tion i he mteiests of of the'tow n t tmo n the Fire Marshalls office was pie sent and addressed the cou cn at some length. IIe had copses eof the, town fire bylaws and drew the'atten tion+" of the mayor and :counciI to many clauses which were not being strictly "enforced and explained how important it was that iftecautions ,should be made to prevent fire.- He said the'Collegiate should have^a fire gong and ,recommended the procuring. pf one at once. He also.called atten- tion to the fact, that the furnace room was not properly ,yroteeted and that unless the ashes' were not dis- posed of differently no insurance cotyld be collected in ease cif fire. The fire. gongs in the Public school,. although there are two, are not In good repair, one having, to- lie rung with, a baseball bat. 4/4..ttention should be Maid to these at bice.' He also called attention to the fact that permits .had not been obtained for some buildings which ware al- ready in eourse.of'erection or in eon temmplation . and to the manner in which a gasoline tank was, being in- stalled as not being in accordance with the town bylaws. - Ile called attention to an old Build ing in Huron ,,etr et, which he con sidered a fire risk and Mayor Jack- son who owns :t, vronused to look afr. ter -it. At the suggeetion°of Mr.'Bislio and on motion of Reeve Middleton and Councillor Pateley Chief` Stong was appointed fire and `building in- spector, in conjunction with the fire chief, and in addition to his. ;,other duties. On the request of the. Mayor Mr. Bishop said he would aslc the Fire Marshall to confer' on Chint Stong authority as fire -marshal]. Mr. Bishop considered that the chiefof police would find it easier to visit buildings`. for inspection, etc,. than,. the fire chief, and that they eduld work together for a .better 'enforce- ment of the fire •bylaws. n • Chairman Jenkins; of the Parks Committee reported sonic improve- ments being made in the ,park ant recommended that -the/ fence on the east -side be removed and the moterial used for repair work, • Chairman Middletan of the street oomnmittee presented -a lengthy writ- ten report, which p was considered clause by clause and amended in sev- eral everal instances. He reported the rounding, off of the sidewalks at the Royal Bank and Morrish Conipahy's corners; .recommended the purchase of 7,000 gallons of Rater B. for deliv- e;y-at .the discretion of the commit- tee and, the purchase of five barrels of Rotar Gold Patch for immediate shipment, ; all of which was :adopted without aniendrtient.

His recommendation that the. first gravelil ng be- done ori •Matilda street brought oot the inquiry as to how the work was todo dont and a sug- gestion 'khat ^tenders be asked for. Reeve Middleton clid not favor „this, thought that as good results were obtained by day labor and more peo- ple- were benefitted. Counciliors Paisley and Bozell, -•however, thought more would be eccomiplishecl:_by eon- tract work and'finally, on their nio- tion this clause was amended and it was decided to ask for tenders. The recommendation that the town gravel and:. stone pit be cleaned and opeated passed without amendment but that to set' up 'the stone crusher at the pit '.was opposed and it was finally decided that the crueller should be set etp, iii town if,a suitable - location could be found .Ior ft.
