the Gamewell Police and Fire Report
ing Company. The last Council pro-
vided $500 for the installation Of fire
bells for the Union and Brandywine
companies, but this amount was not
sufficient to meet the bill. A tower had
to be erected for the bell at the Union
engine house and in addition to this,
the bell at the Independence Company's
house had cracked and had to be re-
placed with a new one.
Mr.. McGovern voted against the pas
sage of the regular monthly miscel-

whereas the city charter sets forth just
how persons are to be employed by
Council.
