The city council met last evening
and heard the report of Hayre's fire
department.
A communication was read asking
the council to build fire house, CEN
trally located, where both chemical
engines can be kept, also the para
phernalia of the department as well
as convenient meeting place for the
organization.
Mayor Newman appointed Peter
Wallihder, c. W. Young and A. D.
Smith committee to report as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of the request being
granted, after they have decided upon
the matter
The council is somewhat undecided
whether to build permanent or tenn
porary city hall, which in the latter
case would not occasion a great deal
of expense, as the old building could
be sold at good advantage. How
ever, the necessity of having city
hall, centrally located, for the fire de-
partment is a foregone conclusion.
