Tho Delaware and the Phoenix hook
and ladder trucks will respond to all
alarms.
After tho ordinance had been passed Mr..
ONelll said he could not understand how
council could pass laws to govern tho fire
department when tho department had
been declared by legal advisors as private
corporations. MI. O'Ncill said he was not
opposed to any improvement of the system
but he could not understand why the dc.
partments could not be allowed addition
al appropriation when tho same body
should enact laws to govern 1t. He suggest
cd that the fire committee make a further
Investigation into thu. subject but \
the suggestion did not take tho form oi a
motion.
