MAY YET SECURE
 ADDED PROTECTION.
Move on Foot to Establish South End Fire Station

Strong and insistent agitation in favor of additional fire apparatus and the southend fire station may yet bring about the realization of this preparedness move, regardless of the fact that the board of finance and taxation has recommended a twenty and one-half mill tax rate exclusive of the fire department additions. Already citizens. council members and fire commissioners, as we'll as other pub lie officials, Including some members Of tho board of finance and taxation themselves, are working on plans whereby the needed fire protection may be securd without increasing the tax rate and at not too much of a sacrifice in other items. The recom- n1ended tax rate is equivalent to two and one-twentieth cents on the dol- lar on ratable property.
 Following the council meeting to- night Mayor G. A. Quigley is to in- vite the members of the council to enter upon an informal discussion of the estimates. Each member will be the matter in order that the final re- suit, instead of being the outcome of the honest opinions of compara- lively small board, will be the opin- ion of the governing body of the city. Later, brought before the city meet ing, the final result will be the will of the people. Already number of the council members are prepared to offer suggestions for a change in the estimates.
