 McAlister wanted to know if the finance committee had looked up the matter of install ing a city weighing scale, as sug- gested by himself at an earlier meeting. He was informed by Nose that the committee had in quired and found that the scales spoken of by McAllister were in bad state and would require considerable repairs before they could be used
 McAllister then brought up the pumping plant proposal and said that keed owed $500 in back taxes and would be willing to furnish the city with a sixty horse power Scotch marine boil CT suitable for the pumping plant ] by way of payment. With this boiler and the La France engine he thought the city could start the pumping plant without a great deal of cost. Mayor Blake remarked that a Go horse power boiler was rather small but Nc Allister figured that another oi equal size could be added at 8 later period The main thing wa: to get started. 1t was not going to cost fortune to start pump ing plant. In fact it would real ly cost very little. The primary tbJect was to get it started be- tore the expiration of the con tract now in force. Mayor Blake suggested that some one should be appointed to investigate the boiler referred to, and averred that he was working on the proposal and thought something should be done before July. Me Allister then dug up the coal yard question and asked if any ching had been heard respecting the telegram sent to A. H Moore.
 Mayor Blake answerd that nc reply had been received. McAl- lister then urged the necessity oI haste in this matter as we'll as the pumping plant. One of his suggestions. was that the city charter a boat and bring in its own coal. He declared that the business men were afraid of the companies and it was no use fo, the council to wait for the cham Der ot commerce or anyone else The only way to do anything was to start at it. This bit o philosophy seemed to appeal te Ross who remarked that ht though it a very good idea te look into the boiler matter anc get something going. Thompson also put in a few words along the same line and moved that 1: committee be appointed to lool up the boiler matter. Mayo Blake then named Thompson ant Ross and was going to quit a that when McAllister announce, that he too would act on tha committee as long as he was ol the fire and water committe anyway.
