Act on Disposal Of Fire
Engine House
TRADE BOARD OFFICERS
Special to The Evening Journal.

NEW CASTLE, JAN 12.-That there was
no meeting Of city Council last night.
which was TO have been held for the pur-
pose Of considering the question Of the
FINAL disposal OF the engine house, is due
to the fact that two members OF that
body, Messrs. Jemison and Reynolds did
not put in an appearance and as con-
sequence President Smith and Messrs. /
Gallagher and Duny did not propose 10
shoulder the responsibility of any action
that might be taken.
The fire hall has been purchased by the
Trustees of the Commons from the Loan
Association and it is the purpose OF the /
former body TO turn the building over to
the city providing that it will be accepted
By the corporation and maintained in a
proper manner. Some firemen claim that
the fire apparatus Is the property Of the
Lenape Fire Company. contendng that
1t had been turned over to that organiza-
ton by the city. Il is said, however, that
the act providing fer the ownership OF
the apparatus sets forth that it shall be-
come the property of the company only
so long as the said company provides a
suitable place for its storage. The ques-
ton now arises: HAS this provision been
fulhlledw The subject will be threshed
out at a meeting Of Council which is
called for Monday night.
