An Estimate of the Cost of Another
Engine House to be Secured.
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of fire commissioners was held
last evening. The payroll and usual
monthly bills were approved.
1t was voted to subscribe for eight
copies of Fire and Water, monthly
journal devoted 10 fremen, beginning
January /. One copy will be sent to
Chief Snagg and one to each of the
houses.
The matter of an appropriation for a
new engine house in the north I'm part
of the city was discussed. 1t was sug-
gested that it would be good idea to
appoint committee who would secure
architects figures on the cost of a
building so that the board would have
some idea of the amount of appropria-
ton to be asked for. A committee con-
sisting of Commissioners Connolly,
Hart, and Chief Snagg was appointed
for that purpose.
1t was voted to recommend that the
board of finance make an extra appro-
priation of 81 900 for fire purposes.

Third Saves Himself.
Two painters employed by L. F. Haase
were seriously injured shortly before 8
o'clock this morning, by the falling of
scaffolding; third saved himself by
clinging to window sill.
The men were adjusting a scaffolding
near the top of the front of the building
occupied by Mr. Haase's paint store on
Bank street. Henry Heating and
Michael Amonz were on the ends and
Charles Carlson was in the center. The
hitch was not straight and in attempt
ing to raise his end Amonz let the rope
slip and the scaffolding went down
with rush. The distance was fully
forty feet.
sidewalk, and AmonZ struck upon his
side. Heating with great presence of
mind seized a window sill and saved
himself from falling.
AmonZ was removed to the office of
| Doctors North and AXtelle, where it was
found that one arm was broken. He is
also suffering from serious internal in
| juries. He is 20 years of age and lives
in Waterville. Carlson was placed upon
a mattress in Mr. Hasaes store where he
was attended by DIR Axtelle. His spine
is injured and he suffers from shock.
| Later he was removed to his home on
| Benham street, West Side hill. He is
30 years of age and married.
At the time the accident occurred Mr.
Haase was standing on the sidewalk
directly under the scaffolding. He heard
the men shout whsn the rope slipped
and he jumped from under just in time.
In speaking of the accident Mr. Keat-
| ing said that he told Amonz that he had
better take the center of the scaffolding
and let Carlson handle the end, but that
the young man said he was fully able tC
manage the end and wanted to do so.
