10 double that number. though why II was
necessary to use two methods in computing the
currency. We do not sec. AMI whether the price
Of the punch was high or low, remains, and
will ever remain mystery until we learn how
large the "bolcs" we're; however, those who
drank the toddy evidently were "high" in due
time. The proceedings appear rs follows;

The last meeting of Council pu

The last meeting Of Council put
a quietus to the scheme Of getting
up paid Fire Department. The
committee to whom the subject
was referred, reported that it was
not advisable to do SO at present
time. In that report we heartily
concur. for we do not believe that
there is a paid department in the
West more efficient then our VOL
enteer department. The records
will show that Richmond has suf-
as little by fires as any city of its
population in the West, in the last
four years. When the "boys"
ges tired and fail to come to time,
it is time enough then to talk
about paid Fire Department.
