steam fire engine should Immediately put
in thorough repair as fires are becoming
very frequent and those living beyond the
water service are at the present time at
the mercy OF the elements.
Rumors are current upon the streets
that the Bristol Hotel is about changing
its management. IL is receiving a new
outside coat, and probably that is what
gave rise to the rumor.
There seems to be good deal OF dissatis-
faction manifested in the Naval Reserve
Torpedo Company over the manner in
which the minor officers were appointed
by the commanding officer. 1t is evident
that the company has been brought up TO
the highest standard under the immedi-
ate attention of the commanding officer.
Its formation was completed under his
direct and uutiring energy, and today 1t
commands the respect oil all other organi-
Zations throughout the State. They are
having fire granite building erected,
overlooking the beautiful bay.
