and the City Council answers to the
people for the care Of the fire company
and assumes all debts. The people orl
taxpayers, through the Council. own
the engine and paraphernalia and when
the hall was constructed several years
ago by money secured from the peo-
pie largely by contributions it was with
the understanding that when IL was
paid for it should become the property
OF the city. All were interested in the
safety of the people of the city and for
protection from fire.
Continuing, Mr.. Campbell said: 1T is
time that the company was taken out
of the deplorable condition in which it
now stands. City Council should take
hold and look after the interest Of the
people. Affairs cannot go on as they
have been doing The interests of the
people are suffering. As for the ques-
ton, who is a member? That is moth
ing. What we want is a respectable
FIRE company that will be a credit and
which will transact the business Of the
company rightly"
The question of the money due the
company, or rather the Council, for
pumping out the sluiceway at the mar
row dyke some months ago was taken
up and it was stated that Contractor
Morrison claims the bill to be s42 for
six sours at 81 per hour. The members
claim eight hours and the matter was
left with Council.
The motion was then put to disband
and unanimously carried and Henry
Madden was made temporary janitor
by the members of Council and will be
invested with full police power.
Those present at the meeting were
President John J. Reynolds, Denney S.
Smith, Hugh Duffy and Harry Y. Jem-
Idson, of the City Council. John Lenoir,
John F. Campbell, John j. Sheridan,
James Gott, Theodore Hatton, Thomas
Ryan. Henry Madden, Aydon Jordan,
Francis Reynolds. Daniel Sullivan,
