Fire Trustee John Muir complained
to the Board that the quarters as
signed to Columbia Hook & Ladder
| Company, MOL, in the new Town Hall
were unfit to occupy. The roof, he
said, leaked so badly that it was i'm
possible to keep the truck in good
Condition. The Board informed Mr..
Muir that Contractor Fitzgerald had
been notified and that he had dis
claimed all responsibility, stating that
as his contract had been accepted by
the town no further work could be ex-
pected from him.
The matter was then referred to the
Land and Building Committee, and
they will have the necessary repairs
made at once.

their badges, despite the order of the
Police Committee to have them all re-
turned. They must be in before the
