 The annex is still stirred up over the removal of $50 feet of hose from the fire quarters in East Grand avenue to John Parker's barn out Quinnipiac ave- nue. Those opposed to the removal say it was not strictly legal or parliament tary, to remove the hose even if the people up there were in danger of fire damage. The chairman of the fire de- partment thought he was right in his move as 800 feet of new hose had been ordered to be placed in the engine house. But the new hose hadn't arriv- ed. and so the burgesses voted to bring it back and it is now safe in the fire house. But the people up around Hem ingwaytown don't like the removal back little bit, and there is likely to be more sharp talk when the burgesses convene again. Meantime the question has been asked, when will the new hose be purchased.
