FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

one OF tlse questions which was brought
up at the session OF the council yesterday
was the appointment OF an Inspector OF
buildings. President Horton Of the council
discovered that the statutes demanded
that suoh an appointment be made IN the
month OF January and called the atten-
ton OF the council to the matter. Sec
tion Of chapter 10s OF the general laws
provides as follows:
The town councils OF the several towns
throughout the state. and the mayors
OF the several cities. except In the city
of Providence, shall annually In the month
OF January elect an inspector Of buildings.
who shall be paid such amount for his
services az shall be determined by the
town or city council electing him.
This law has been on the statute books
Of the state for a number OF years, but
the attention OF the town council has
never before been called TO the fact of
its existence and it's provisions have
never been complied with in this town.
