MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
NUMBER FIvE.s ENGINE-MOUsE.

We understand that the difficulty In the
way Of providing suitable engine-house for
Columbia Fire Company No. 5 can be easily
removed by a conference between q committee
from that oompanS with one from American
Hook and Ladder No.2.
There seems tobe no doubt that for several
years, seven or eight, Columbia No. Big house
has needed n thorough overhauling, amount
Ing to reconstruction, In order to make 1t
suitable for the purposes of an engine house
On tho other hand. the claims of American
Hook and Ladder No. a have ut least some
appearance Of right. According to the pres
ent project Of reconstructing No 5's house 1t
Will DO necessary to take portion OF the lot
on which American No. IS house stands. The
latter company claims that 1t will not only
involve the destruction Of a stOre-rOOm and q
bedroom In the upper story Of their building,
but that 1t will also make 1t incDnvenient and
difficult for them to turn out their truck
by narrowing the frontage Of their house. 1t
is claimed that q gompromise can be effected
by widening American as house to tho same
extent that No. IS house Is sought to be
widened. This IL Ia thought could be done
by tearing down the eastern wall OF No. as
house and extending 1t three feet on the wide
common alley on that side of the hook and
ladder house. Under the circumstances, 1t
would seem advisable for each company to
appoint q committee at their next meeting to
consider the subject. and report their coDclu-
sions to the Council, who will then DC, enabled
to act intelligently In the matter.

The largest portion of the first page of to-

all very good, so far as they go, but they do
not reach far enough. Among other things,
the people want an amendment making q

The present expensive and unsatisfactory sys-

1t costs the State nothing to issue tax re-

thereby benefit the public schools, and besides
it would be greater security against election

include a fractional part OF the abuses under
