INSISTED HOLDING
FIRE INSPECTION
Fire Committee Had Thought
Of Dropping Semi-An-
nual Inspection.
NO CARRIAGES PROVIDED
Inspecting Party Slipped in I'm
awares on Some of the Fire Com
panies, but Found Everything
i'm Excellent Order. In
spection Was Con-
cluded Last Night.

The semi-annual inspection of the fire
department came very near not taking
place. The inspections used 10 he made
great deal of. The chairman of the
fire committee always hired il lot of
carriages and members of council and
officials ana the members of the COM
mittec would be driven around to the
different fire companies houses.
Announcement was made beforehand
and there was always a large turnout
Of the members Of the various conn
panies To greet the inspecting party.
Everything is changed since Prince
\. Mousley is chairman Of the fire COM
mittee. At the last inspection he cut
out the carriages and this caused il fall
ing off in the numbers of the persons
who usually accompanied the committee.
The committee used the street cars
when they could in getting from one
engine house to another.
When the time arrived for the pres
ent inspection the members of the fire
committee thought it might be advisable
not to hold the inspection on the ground
that it serves no practical purpose. The
committee is ready at all times to listen
to committees from the various COM
panies as to the particular needs of the
companies.
Informal inspection can be made Mt
any one of the engine houses if required
for any reason.
President Alexander thought however
the inspection had better be made and
| arrangements We're hurriedly made for
it. The start was made Monday night
without any special announcement.
The inspection of the first night was
made by only three of the fire COM
mittee. Messrs. aIouslev, Smith and
pierson. President Alexander. George
! A. Willis and Clerk Morrison and
Bailiff Ryan accompanied them.
The inspecting committee dropped in
on some of the engine houses before the
| firemcn knew that the inspection was
taking place. but everything was found
in excellent condition. At such houses
the customary refreshments were not
! Forthcoming.

ing party last night when the Reliance,

houses were visited and the inspection

Chairman Mousley says the commit
| tee has better use for the money an
nropriated to it than to spend it in cab
/ hire. The committee will recommend
