Routine Business.
! When the grist of warrants that are
presented at the end of each month for
approval were read, Alderman Rossi in
quired concerning an item OF Si2 Tor in
surance on the apparatus at the fire sta
ton His inquiry developed the intorna-
| ton that the insurance is carried for
period of five years and that it operates
only when any OF the apparatus i
burned while in the fire station. Alder
man Rossi objected to paying the war
rant on the ground that the protection
| thus afforded is inadequate and likened
| the payment of said sum to a gilt TO the
Iinsuring company. Alderman Reynolds
of the fire committee could not see the
resemblance to q donation mentioned by
his colleague. He mentioned two cities
down in Naine-where fire stations
were destroyed and said that the $40 paid
the bill for five years. Alderman Rossi's
motion to cancel the insurance was not
seconded and when Alderman Healy
moved TO approve the warrants for pay
ment it was duly seconded. The fifth
ward representative then moved 70
amend by striking out the S42 warrant.
No one seconded and Alderman Iealy's
motion carried with one opposing vote.
| Once more the clerk uncovered pro
posed agreement with the Barre & Chel-
sea railroad whereby the latter is per
mitted to use turnout near Enterprise
alley for railroad purposes. The agree
ment stipulated IS charge per annum
for the privilege and Alderman Glysson,
for reasons stated last week. was about
the only one to favor the per annum lea
ture. Alderman Healy opposed it on the
ground that the piece Of land in question
was originally presented the city by the
railroad. When ii was found that ma
ioritv held with Alderman Healy the
agreement was tabled and the agreement
adopted last week which extends the
privilege without cost to the railroad,
still stands.
