Cries of "Of course they would"
were raised on all sides of the House.
The premier strongly denied that
Parliament had been neglectful of the
interests of woman and said he saw
no evidence that British women as a
whole wanted to vote
Sir Edward Grey, secretary for for

said there was ample evidence that a
very large section of the women of the
country had shown by constitutional
means that they favored the enfran-

characterized as THE inconsiderate

EVERY CITIZEN Is CONCERNED.

Believing hat the citizens should take
some action looking to the improvement
of the water supply for fire protection,
Coz John n. McClintock. proprietor of
the Miller hotel, has called a meeting of
citizens to be held tonight at s O'Clock
in the federal our room. The meeting
viii be for the purpose of discussing the
situation, it being believed that the
present condition of the fire fighting
equipment is a menace to the commun-
Iity.
The call Of this meeting resulted from
the serious fire of Friday afternoon. Col.
McClintock hopes to have a large crowd.
and that some method looking to the
solving of the fire problem may be
brought out.
The property owners of the city in
general feel just as Col. McClintock does
about the matter. Every time the fire
alarm sounds, that shock runs through
each and every one of them-that swift,
anxious question:
where's the fire? What if it should
be i'll the heart of the town.
All realize the absolute hopclcssness
of fighting a serious cOnfiagration with
the apparently inadequate water supply
and inet1iciency of our fire fighting
facilities.
This is indeed a matter which closely
concern the entire city, and all who de
sire to see lives and property protected
against fire should attend the meeting
tonight.
