owing to the fact that he had pre-.

Report to Council.
The members of the fire commits
sion, Messrs Max Robson, A.. d. Oar
by and G.. G. Cushwa, submitted the
first annual report of the department,
covering the period from January II,
1906, to December 81, 1906. The re.
port is a summary of the work of the
fire department for the time set forth.
It shows that there were 80 alarms
turned in, and that the total damage
done by fire, exclusive of the fires at
the Hanmis distillery and the Crawford
Wooden mills, was about $4,000. The
Ryneal chemical responded to all
alarms, and in no instance did it re
@lire more than six minutes to reach
the scene OF the blaze and prepare for
action, thus preventing IN many cases
heavy loss by fire.
The commission stated that the to-
tai fixed charges of the fire depart
npent for 1907 viii be about s1,750,
Which is considered very reasonable
sum in view of the efficiency of the de-
partment and the great loss prevented
By the prompt service rendered by the
Ryneal company. The members of the
commend heartily the zeal
OF the paid firemen, and speak in the
highest terms of the work of the VOL
uateers.
