Of the City Council, this evening,
several matters Of importance are
scheduled for consideration. Among
the most important will be the COM
munication from the board of directors
OF the Citizens Building and Loan
Association in relation to the Lenape
Fire Hall, on which the association
holds a mortgage and upon which but
little has been recently paid, although
tbs claim Of the association is sale
and the money can be easily secured.
The hall is owned by private parties,
who have a deed and title 60 il. The
support of the hall has been kept up
by City Council and the Trustees OF
the Commons until recently, when
Council agreed to take hold of the
entire aiiair,on account Of the Trustees
of the Commons taking up the burden
Of paying the bonus to the steel COM
ranies to locate here. This money,
while being used to pay the mortgage
on the hail, has been considered rent
for the engine and apparatus, according
to the statements of the owners. Some
action 10 desired by the people in order
that the city should own a fire hall
and be able TO store the apparatus
under the care Of the city.
