LAFOND AGAIN CHEF.
The Fire Department Elects
>.." Officers and Does Other
Business.

Falls fire department was held at the
city hall Wednesday evening. About
sixty members were present. The
question Of funds for the state en-
campment came Up, and 1t was
developed that some of the COM
panies were holding their cOntribu-
tiOns rs company funds, instead Oi
turning them into the general fund.
That condition. OF course, LETT the
money outside the control of the
department. and any amount not In
possess:on OF the department rs a
whole could not be considered avail
able. 1t seemed that the different
companies were not in position last
evening tO state their plans in the
matter. 1t was therefore voted that
the chief of the department and the
fvremen of the different companies
have consulta ton. and prepare a
report of the exact condition and in
tentiOns OF oil companies, and that
the report be- submitted at called
meeting of the department. 1t vii!
be remembered that it was the de-
cisiOn of the department some
months ago that each member con-
tribute p cents month to the fund
for the state meeting. While 1t IL
not evident that there is any Oppo-
&ition to the plan, the full amount of
money has not reached the general
fund, and it is probable that con-
sultation between the representa-
tives of the different companies and
the chief will bring about u definite
understanding in the matter. After
that question, was disposed Ct the
election of officers came up.
Ethan s. Brown was unnnimOu
elected treasurer.
There were three nOmina tiOns
made for secretary, and the vote was
as follows:
John McDOnald.............................. 38
Frank ......................... ~
