NOT LEGALLY CALLED
Brooklyn Meeting to Establish Fire
 District Was Not Held.

At Brooklyn Saturday afternoon, af- ter 1t had been decided that a meeting to consider establishing a fire district that would include Brooklyn Center had not been legally called. the idea of holding a meeting was at least tenn porarlly abandoned. The statute pro- visions relative to calling a meeting for the establishment of a fire district had not been complied with, though there was every intention of so doing when the idea had its inception and the work was done. There were only II petitioners for the meeting, it was pointed out by one who had looked up the statute requirements, whereas there should have been twenty. and only II days notice of the meeting was given. instead of the legally re- quired fourteen.
 Some said that no further attempt to hold meeting would be made be- cause of strong opposition among res idents fin some parts of the territory to be included in the proposed fire district, while others claim that a meeting will he held, although some modification of the proposed district lines may be made before the call is issued.
 Brooklyn Centerd Is closely built up and has no adequate fire protection. It is possible, it is said, that this area may be exclusively included in the next proposition for a meeting and some plan Tor purchasing a chemical engine or other protection worked out.
