EppS has been instructed to figure the
cost of a gravity system, from sum

source. with intake fifteen feet below

condemnation of the present water

and that the present company has
" heapcd Goals of fire on the people $

be>towing undcServed benefactionS,
one of which is the substitution of
wooden for iron pipe which the kick

important requisite. 1t is hardly

ting forth the fact that he has alb
scented himself from his place of duty
without consent of the Council or the
proper committee, and that prior to
SO doing had refused to hand in his
resignation, and it is therefore re-
solved that the compensation of the
said Chief be reduced from SO to
$40 per month 1t would appear
from the statement that he had re-
fused to resign, before committing
the Otfense, of vacating his post, that
the true cause of the trouble must
be based upon something that hap
pcncd prior to the alleged miscOn-
duct. Although one of the rcsolu-
tions embraced in the series spe-
officially declares that :" the office of
Chief of the Fire Department be and
the same is declared vacant" the
next of the series atiirmS quite as
positively that the compensation of
the said Chief of the Fire Depart
ment be from and after this date,
ten dollars per month. 1t does look
as if the cart is again placed before
the horse, to reduce the salary from
this date of an officer already de-
clared deposed by declaring the Of

of rs the probable successor of Chief
Raymond, soon as he has resigned an
office declared vacant or is forced to
give up what he does not possess.
