Board OF Firewards.
Next Monday evening the regular
monthly meeting of the Board of Fire
wards Will be held, and It is expected
there will be considerable business

Early this Spring Chief Engineer Patt
showed the members of the Board very
plainly the need OF Il sitting room for the
fiIemen In Winter, something TINT con be
seen In every fro station except in this
| village.
II Is practicing economy for tho town to
build sitting room for the men, as it
does away with the necessity of heating
the apparatus room to such an extent that
the hook and ladder and S&so trucks are
almost ready to fall apart when Spring
rolls around, and thon they have to be
thoroughly overhauled.
The apparatus room is so large that it
cannot be heated to degree sufficient to
make II comfortable for men to remain,
unless they were engaged In some violent
exercise to keep the blood In circulation.
According to the ordinances a regular

Therefore, the regular men cannot 60 up

bones OF the regulars down below. Every
body agrees that action should be i'm

II is claimed there is room enough
without putting on an addition by re-
moving stairway and closet between the
stalls in the rear OF the room, and the
Board should take whatever action Is ncc-
cessary Monday night.

| the engines given a trial on Boston Com
mon.
The champion will be there with all
its strength, and Judging from appear
anccs will como out of the "squirt"
second to none.
Some have spoken of ii being a good
idea to make it a rule to have the winning
engine hold the muster at its home the
following year, and 80 on.
President Wilmarth wns spoken to
about 1t and said; at would never do.
III that was made the rule We would be
