HOSE MISUNDERSTANDING is given I'M
der the head of New To-Day" that
there will be a meeting of Rescue
Hose Company at 81 o'clock, sharp,
next Wednesday evening. 1t is I'M
perative, we are requested to say, that
every member should be present.
The business to be considered is of a
highly important character and all
should attend and have their say. As
we understand it. there is to be a gen
eral overhauling and reorganization of
the company, or, at all events, the
drones, unless they respond in a salts
factory manner, are to be weeded out
and good active tiremen admitted in
their stead. This is eminently proper,
and we are glad to see our Fire Depart
ment adopt this measure. which must,
i'll the very nature of things, tend to
enlarge the sphere of its usefulness.
Attend the meeting.
