cuse for deferring action but when this IL imposa-
ble surely no time will be lost in putting them up
house of proper dimensions for their necessities.
Some members of the Company have asked to have
the building erected over Shockoe Creek, fronting
on Main street, and their reasons for locating it
there, are very good. They say whenever an
alarm ofre is given, they are generally compelled
to run to Main street to ascertain where 1t is, and
consequently lose much valuable time in 30 doing;
whereas fthey were located on Main street, they
could be much more prompt than they now are
The matter is in the hands of the Council, who will
no doub do all that is necessary to add to the eci
ency and comfort Of the" Liberty Boys"
