Woods. in front of 'la Phelps Dodge stcre The rai,way ccmTany declined to pay bill for i $514 for repairs to the two cars
 The company presented all it's find ! iag9 iu the case in dccnmel tsrN form | Tn v-.;t.a1 state~,ent thei rpcto- man -f the stree- car ex0Iaine7 that D | head the fire aTsrm when apDrcech- ing fire station No. 1 on Naco road | that lie noticed that the fire truck l had already left the station; that Pa trolman Tex Barton motioned to him to proceed: that he went on to the | Phelps Dodge store on Railroad aV- enue. and that before making the | turn onto Main straet he heard the | fire truck coming down Main street, He said that he presumed that this was fire truck No. 1 returning. He continued on around the corner and met fire truck No. coming down Main street at high speed The driN.

The city at tcrney recommended that the city pay the bill and a resolution was adopted allowing it.
 The matter of the accident brought up a discussion of the speed at which the city fire trucks are driven. It was the opinioIl of the council that the drivers of the city fire trucks should use the utmost caution on the narrow streets of Eisbee. and should even lose minute or two in arrivlns at a fire rather than take undue chances.
 Jack Warren appeared before the city council to request that small city street from Brewery Gulch to O. K. street should be made passable for pedestrians. He declared that the steps need repairs and the street IS blocked by rubbish. The matter was referred 10 the street committee.
 Chief Wilson of the fire department was authorized to put in four new fire alarm boxes: two on Mason Hill.
