the chairman of the fire COM
mittee of council gave the members
OF the company permission to purchase
the necessary furniture, and after they
| had done so refused to o. K the bill
, before it was presented to council This
was the subject discussed by the mem
Ders OF the hose company at their meet
| ing Friday evening and it was decided
| that If the bill was not o. Ked, the
| amount would be raised among the
members and would be paid, and then
they would disband. When the action
they had taken became known matters
assumed a far different attitude and
probabilities now are that the bill will
be ordered paid at the next meeting of
council. 1t is to be hoped that such
will be the case, as no citizen wants to
see the company disband, especially
when the liability of having their
homes destroyed by fire is lessened so
much.
