Some Improvements will be made al

alteration, which will be necessary by
the removal of No. hose company
will of course not take place for d
year or two yet:
The police headquarters, engineers
and street commissioners offices are
in the worst condition and are the ones
to which Immediate attention will be
given. A new roof will also be placed
on the hall In police headquarters
the paper is falling from the walls and
cracked. The plastering has caved in
in Commissioner Gems office and
the ceiling is proped up with a big
post.
In the engineers office the business
has increased to such an extent thai
there must be an enlargement of quar-
tiers. 1t has been suggested TO place
this office in the council chamber d
part of which could be walled off.
One OF the purposes of removing
the engineer office to council cham
Der is also to give additional sleep
ing quarters to the firemen, who are
living at the city hell. There are said
to be too many men in the present
room. The stable Of the fire depart

they are not much used in combat, like
