tiealar:
whereas, the joint committee repre-
seuting three each froo, the city eoun-
Gil, the board OF trade aud the fire
department. appointed to devise ways
and means for the Improvement aud
reorganization of the fire ser.
vice Of the citv completed its
labor aud submitted its report TO the
conncil, recommending certain re-
forms and plans which 1t was deemed
wise and calculated for the best in-
teres's Of the city.
The council, has in its vision seen
fit 70 reject this report, although
three of it, own members were serving
on and sigued the recommendation Ct
this joint committee.
1t Is but fair to state the reasons ad.
vanced for this action Of council, which
it Is claimed and has been frequently
asserted. that the recommendation OF
this joint committee were a reflection
anon council; it should be understood
that three members of the eonncil were
serving upon the committee that signed
the recommendations aud were ap.
pointed from council for the oery 3ifr-
pose outlined. 1t vas also asserted
that the creation of the commission
would be illegal. not withstanding
the city attorney decision to the con-
trary, and ii a commission of two
elrizeus and one councilman is illegal.
why did they vote for tile creation of
a commission OF two citizens and three
councilman, which would be equally
illegal one with the other? The re-
Communications speak TOR themselves
and should disnrose other statements
in conflict with the facts sat forth.
The charge by one of the council.
man that there was something be
hind" the movement for this com
mission implied an attempt on the
part of this joint committee TO trick
or trap council into some unwise
legislation, and is a serious reflection
upon the motives of this joint com
inittee and also upon the members
represented on ii from the city coun-
ell. The fact Is the council admitted
that the state of its finances would
not permit them to improve the fire
department or provide equipment
necessary, and signiiled its willing
ness TO have ways and means devised
to accomplish these results by being
represented as it was on this joint
committee. AS council has seen tit
to reject the recommendations, the
committee there fore withdFaws all
suggestions made, and will await the
plans and assurances from the coun-
ell as to the future reorganization
and Improvement of the fire depart
meme before making any further re-
concentrations to the subscribers OF
this fire equipment fund as to the
disposition of the equipment already
purchased, and which is still in the
possession of this committee.
We deem it fair to make this state.

SETTLERS especially, so that thew may
