Councillor R. G. Parke, chairman of the titre and water committee said lie had attended the fire brigade meet- ing last week when representatives of companies selling gas and smoke mash equipment ,were present. Need for lucre ntaslts was felt after diffi- culty encountered - recently. The meeting decided Ole canister style of gas mask was too heavy and ('llnlb- ersome and that the firemen would rather have the smoke masers with a water -soaked sponge in the breath- er tulle, to remove smoke.
