week which starts officially next Wed

!ay as a number OF out of town fire
companies have announced their in
tcntion cf coming on that day with d
complc;2 camping outfit.
The housing question !s very SER
Gus. because the great number OF fire
men coming exceeds by hundreds the
number originally expected. The COM
mittee on accommodation are ut their
wits ends trying 10 solve the problem
of where to secure additional rooms.
All persons having one or more
rooms that could possibly be rented
for few days should get in touch
with The chairman, Claude Fletcher.
The financial question has not been
solved as yet. as the sum needed IS
50 .0GO and but $1,000 of this has been
secured. Considering the splendid fire
department that we have here and the
hi@h class standard Of It's members,
It is difficult to understand why the
conamittcc has rot met with more
generous donations. An appeal for
more funds appeared in the Gazette
last night and it is hoped that when
Inc people Of Alexandria understand
what the committee IS up against that
the balance will be secured without
any trouble.
The big crowd should result in big
business 10 the merchants Of this city
as convention crowds are known to be
spenderS.
Headquarters will be established at
Chief Ogden's Office early next week
where all official business will he tran,
