At the meeting Of City Council next
week. the indications are that an advance
in the rate of taxation viii be decided up
on in order to provide for proper fire pro-
lection. The proposition that the Coun-
Gil shall take the fire hall is advocated by
many people, because this would give
the Trustees of the Commons the privilege
of using It's money for new industries.
The Council can raise money for fire pur-
poses. but cannot pledge money for the
advancement of industrial work. Another
feature in this connection is the taxation
Of the property held by the Trustees of
the Commons which is simply the taxa
tion Of the property which, many think,
should be exempt and thus permit the use
Of the money derived from the farms for
the betterment OF the city and other
interests.
