did not prevail.
Mr.. Bagley was In favor of ample fire pro-
lection but thought for real service on Com
mercial street, four hose reels. one stationed
at the hat factory, one on Boston and Maine
wharf, one at Center street, and one at the
Grand Trunk station, would do better than
steamer, as hose attached to hydrant in
the street will throw a stream over the
highest building. As for fire boat half the
time it might be too far away to be of any
service.
Mr.. Jordan thought from examining the
records of the departments in other cities.
that Portland was better protected for her
size than other cities. He had been told
that the old engine in Ward One, called the
"Mud digger" could today throw better
stream and work longer time than any other
in the department.
The order appropriating $4,000 fo1 steam
er, and not exceeding $500 for hose, was
then taken up and passed.
All other business coming from the upper
board received concurrent action.

and ourselves a good turn

object when we knife the

Pushes, and the other
high-class upholstery ma
terials which are at pres
ent taking up valuable
space in our draperies de-
partment.
We have decided to go
out of keeping coverings
of this sort.
To properly display the
immense line that we have
been carrying, double the
room is required. Our
constantly increasing busi-
ness in curtains and drap-
cries is also clamoring for
more showing space, SO
one line or the other has to
be sacrificed.
7Ae Aeacy goods must go,
so doaOn go the prizes.
1t means a considerable
money loss to US, but a di-
rect benefit to you, and we
hope an ultimate gain for
the store.
1t should be borne in
mind, however, that the
goods we offer at this re-
duction are clean, desira-
bic, useful materials, per-
feet in all ways, and sold at
these prices only because aOe
must haze more room.
The season for rejuven-
ating soiled and worn fur
niture is close at hand now,
you know, and these cloths
will be the very thing you
will look for first. Why not
anticipate the time a little
and buy the goods now
while there is a dollar to be
saved? There will be no
such offering of upholstery
materials made in Portland
again this season.
