DESIRED BY FIRST WARD CITi-

WORK ON PLANS.
An Effort Will Be Made to Have Citi-

prise.

At the meeting last night the City
Council was asked not to rent the old
hose house in the First ward for SO
longSa period as a year. as 1t may be
needed by the Fire Department be-
fore that time. The people of that
ward will. be glad to know that a
movement is on foot to establish a
fire station over there
The first ward needs something of
the kind more than any other ward
in the city. In making the run from
the present headquarters on Monroe
street for the First ward. there is
first a hill to go down, all the way
OF which the horses must by held
back. Then there is long hard
bridge to run over and then if the
fire is up very far, there is a hard
run up hill, all of which is too much
on the horses.
Chief Reed and the other members
of the Department are planning
way to establish the branch lndepen-
dently of the Council, and if they are
successful the city will be only too
glad to accept it.
When seen this morning Chief Reed
said he had nothing to give out yet
as to the plans, but if he undertakes
It, success is assured.
