THE NEW FIRE HEADQUARTERS
OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED LO-
CATION ON THE BAY.

Property Owners in the Rear of the
Site likely to Take ActiOn-The
City Attorney Inyestigating the
Cfty's Right to Occupy the Ground
for Any Purpose Except as n High
Nay-Wby the Site Was Selected
by the Fire Commission.
The proposition Of the fire commission
to erect a new engine house 10 be used
as headquarters of the department. on the
vacant space on the north side of Bay
street, between Barnard and jefferson
streets. is likely TO cause considerable
discussion in the city council, with the
probability that permission will hardly
be granted at present, II at ALL
Several arguments are advanced against
the proposition of the fire commission,
the principal one being that the property
owners who would be shut OF from Bay
street by the erection Of the building
would be likely 10 enjoin the city from
doing so on the ground that the value
OF their property would be injured by
placing them on a back street. and de-
ereasing the space in front OF their build
Ags which is now available for draws
and other vehicles
10 is understood that the r,atter has al
ready been Informally discussed by the
aldermen, and that the city attorney has
Deen requested to give an opinion whether
me CITY mas the right to make use OF
the ground for such purpose, there be-
ing some question as to whether in has
any title to thu ground, except for use a.
a public highway.
Another argument which has been
advanced against the location Of the
proposed is that the engine house
on the western side of the
city is intended especially for the
protection OF the property west of West
broad street, including the wharves and
warehouses; OF the Ocean Steamship Com
inadvisable to locate the new engine house
any further east than West Broad street.
10 erect II on the site proposed by the
commission would place ii Just two
DOCKS further east than the present To-
cation.
Chairman Grayson of the fire commits
sion said, when spoken to about the
matter, that the commissioners expected
that their proposition would excite oppo-
sltlon ana comment, and for that reason
they made their intentions public in or
der that the subject might be generally
discussed, and the members OF council
might be given an opportunity to post
themselves as to the public sentiment
Inc simple fact is" said Mr. Grayson
that we have got to have a new engine
mouse. The present house occupied by
engine company No. 2 is almost untena-
BILE, and does not afford SUFFICIENT pro-
lection to the men, horses and machin-
cry stationed there. The best offer the
commission has had for a site is $1,000
ana that Is not altogether desirable The
ste recommended by the commission is
the most desirable to be obtained in
that section of the city, and, besides.
the city saves the $600O which ii would
nave 10 pay Tor site elsewhere"

THE Twelve Temptations, and other
spectacles of more or less note He is de-
voting his best efforts this season TO his
production of the Twelve Temptations. d"
The piece is of course wholly spectacular
1t is built upon an interesting little fairy
plot in which good and bad destinies are
constantly struggling for the supremacy
in the affairs of the pair of true lovers
who are separated for a time by malign
influence which is ultimately subdued
There are visions of hidden wealth and
thrilling adventures at the north pole in
terspersed with episodes in lighter Vein
The cast embraces Mai Estele as HUI

MIR. ale has written descriptive char
acter song over the Bridge" which is
meeting with great success in the specta-
Gle. Ihe song has the advantage of a hand

Ign bridge water front and other views
While the song is being sung, character
descriptive of the verse appears upon the
scene and passes over the bridge The
verses relate to ups and downs in life
The musical champagne bottles intro
duced in the bridge scene is said to be
pretty conceit. 1t represents four couples
who have just returned from ball in New
York, who are in a hilarious mood and
persist in playing popular airs by means
of the bottles and glasses.
The artistic brush of G. W. Valentine is
seen TO advantage in the piece. In all there
are twelve scenes, the more prominent be-
ing the Village of Wulna; the Heart of the
Frigid zone; the Wreck of the Hubert; the
Home of the Snow Queen; the Cavern of
the Green Dragon; the Palace of Solaris-
the Sun Queen; the Wulna Cathedral and
