junction with the Fire Committee Of
Council. Thursday win consider final
ly the purchase OF fire engine for
the Eighth Ward.
At joint session Wednesday It
was concluded that the board was
unable to purchase two engines as
originally intended because Of an err

apportionment sheet. 1t was found
that $4,000 allowed the Seventh Ward
was for new station house only and
did not provide for the purchase of
equipment.
The question of purchasing Mozely
Park was then preached by the Sew

nounced that at the next meeting Of
Council resolution would be offered
whereby the So, 600 could be used for
the purchase Of the land, instead Of
being used for the fire department.
This placed the fire board In guam
dairy, but it was decided finally to
make the purchase OF one engine and
to SIX Council at its next meeting to
transfer sufficient money for another
one.

gines had been opened. The lowest
