 A special meeting of the freemsn of the borough is called for Tuesday. April "A, to vote on the appropriation of $12.0 .00O to erect suitable buildings for the Wallace Hose and the Simpson Hook and Ladder company. The polls will be open from 9 to 8 p. m.
 This matter of new quarters for the two companies has been under confederation for some time, and has been freely dis cussed by the board of burgesses. It is a we'll known fact that the building in the rear of the town hall used to store the hook and ladder truck has never been suitable one or in any manner adapted for the pur- pose, being altogether too small, and the approach to 1t being narrow alley hardly wide enough to squeeze the truck through, besides all this the owners of the property have some time ago given notice that the building must be vacated, as the property Is wanted for other purposes. The house occupied by the Wallace hose is nearly . wreck and considered unsafe for occupancy, and is standing on ground leased from the Con solidated railroad company. The building, which was never of the best, Is now fast decaying, standing as 1t does on the ground without suitable stone founda- ton, and 1t is only . matter of time, and perhaps short space of time, when 1t will be unsafe for use at all. The fire depart ment is now in frst-class condition in every respect except in its accommodations provided with Q convenient and suitable house and 1t is no more than right that the other two companies should be cared for in the same manner. The exact location of the proposed new building is not as yet fully decided upon but 1t Is probable that 1t will be located west of Main street and not far from Center street.
