liam H. Price, driver of the Hydraulion
steam fire engine indefinitely, to take effect
from the first of November, his offence be-
ing disrespect to his superior officer, the
president Of that board, in informing him,
when admonished not to drive 50 fast to
fires, that he would drive as fast as he
pleased, and when told that if he did so ne
would be removed, replying that the board
could remove as soon as it pleased. Many
of the members of the Hydraulion company
contend that the law against fast driving is
applied, practically, to their driver only
and are therefore in sympathy with him !;
but, at very large meeting last night;
though there were many expressions OF
opinion on the subject, there was no propo-
sition looking to action, and the matter was
thus left where it stood.
