| low them to do this, subject to the approval of the street committee.
 On the resolution about the age limit of the firemen there were as many diff ferent opinions a $ there were mem bers present. Alderman Jacobs said that he thought there were many firemen in the department at present that were over the proposed age limit of 45, and they had always given good service to the city. Alderman Caisse said that it seemed rather mean of the city to discharge the firemen after they had given their services to the city for so many years. He thought that they should be permitted to drop out when they wanted to and that the new re- quirements should pertain ns~to the new members only. Mayor Dunn then put the question to vote and only few of the mem bers voted. The mayor then asked the members not voting to explain why they were not voting.
 Alderman Jenkins explained the rea- son why they should form some set of rules. The firemen were the first to ask for a set of rules, but had been asked to withdraw their petition. A set of rules was needed now that would affect all men of the companies the same. The paid department and the auto fire truck had been forced on the board by the voters of the city. Af- derman Jenkins answered MT. Caisse's and MT. Jacobs argument by saying that he did not believe that there were many men in the fire department over 45 years who wanted to fight fire.
 Mayor Dunn then put the question to vote and only the fire department committee voted. The mayor then asked the other members why they were not voting, as there is city or dinance which requires that all mem bers vote unless they are personally interested and are excused by the pre- siding officer. Then the fur began to fly. Aldermen Caisse, Jacobs and Vaughn asked to be excused from vot- ing, all giving as a reason that they were against making changes.
 The motion was put before the board and adopted by a vote of to 1, only Alderman CaisSe voting against it, making the age limits 21 to 45.
 motion was proposed which gave the fire committee power to accept the fire truck Alderman Graves explain ed that the only clause holding them from accepting the truck under the resolution adopted at the last meeting was in regard to a driver. He read telegram in which the La France com pany offered to send an expert to train a driver if the city would accept the truck before June 6. Alderman Graves said that he would pay the expenses pany did not keep their word, and then the resolution was adopted.
 Alderman Vaughn asked a few inter- esting questions. A call man can re- main in the fire houses all that they want except from Il p. m. till a. ml, when the permanent men are supposed to be sleeping. Honorary members will have no more privileges than the or dinary citizens.

LIBERTY BONDS TAKEN.
Nearly $50, 900 Worth Subscribed for by.
 Thread Company Employees. V4

Between fifty and sixty thousand dollars worth of liberty bonds have been subscribed by employees of the American Thread. company. who are showing themselves to be no slackers in this patriotic movement. The pur- chase is made possible through the easy payment terms offered by the company, a certain amount each, week being deducted from the pay envelope. of the purcha ser, thus making possi4 he the subscription of many more bonds than if the people were re- uuired to pay the money down in a lump sum-. Considerable. competition: is going on between the various de~s pa rtments of the mill to see which has the most subscribers, and the ranking in regard to the number of applica tions up to the present time is as follows: Shipping room, spool shop, dressing room, packing department. office, No. 5 mill spooling, box shop, works and No. 4 mill spinning. The amounts sold each day are posted about the mill. Much of the interest is attributed to the recent increase of 10 per cent. in wages of the operatives which goes into effect this week. and many emr ployes are putting this money into the bonds.
