ceased for the second time Yesterday

Members of City Council last night
received a letter from the Board OF
Police Commissioners, who stated that
owing to the fire bell having a crack
sixteen inches long on the outside and
eight inches on the inside. il was
deemed best to have the bell discon-
tinue ringing. The commissioners
said they considered the further use
of the bell dangerous as It was liable
TO fall while performing its duties.
The letter was referred to the public
building committee.
Councilman Draper was the only
one who spoke on the subject saying
that il would be useless expense 10
