WITHOUT RAIN IN KEN DAYS.

drouth continues for the next ten days,
Commissioner of Agriculture w. c.

Commissioner Hanna is an expert
enced farmer and has many acres OF

The January meeting of City Coun-
city held at the city hall last night
was one of the tamest meetings the

a sensational nature to cause ruffle.
The annual report of the Fire Chief,
which is treated elsewhere, was pre-
scented and his recommendation as to
the installing of fire plugs was order
ed concurred in by Council.
The bonds of Officers Wells, Mac
key, Carpenter, Mcnamara and Miss

ed by the Mayor were approved by

Fire Chief Newell Makes Wonderful
Report Showing Loss By Fire to
City Of Only $95s in Year
Recommends Legislation.

The annual report of Chief Ruff
M. Newell, Of the Fire department,
which was presented to City Council
Monday night was one of the most
wonderful reports ever filed by any
fire department in any city and Chief
Newell and his faithful firemen are
to be congratulated and extended the
thanks Of the public in general for
their splendid service while the city is
to be congratulated upon Its escape
from the fire fiend.
The report shows that during the
year there were but IS alarms Of fire
and that these fires endangered $72,-
600 worth Of property but the loss
amounted to but 1858, record which
few, cities will be enabled to reach.
The department is well equipped
with two fire fighting machines and
all the necessary equipment in splen-
did condition.
Much Of the reduction in fire losses
this year is attributed by the head of
the fire department to educating the
public against carelessness. The in
spection work Of the department has
been large, there having been 296 in
spections during the year. In So cases
the inspector made recommendations
Of changes and in each and every case
the recommendation was adopted by
the property owner.
Chief Newell's recommendation are
interesting and should be carried out
to the letter by the city administra-
ton in full support of the splendid
and successful work he is doing. He
recommends the immediate installa-
ton Of six new fire hydrants and
three new fire alarm boxes. He also
asks for building inspector and rec
ommends tie more general use of
non combustible material for building
houses.
One of the most far reaching rec
Of the Fire Chief is that
Council adopt an ordinance making
carelessness In regard to fire mis-
demeanor punishable by fine. Nine of
the IS alarms of fire during 1920 were
due to carelessness. The chief enum-
crates them as follows: Carlessness
with matches, Q; carelessness with
gasoline, 4; decorations near gas jet,
/; curtain blowing into gas jet, 1;
child burning leaves near stable. l.
The other alarms we're caused, two
by burning rubbish and five by defec-
I've fues.

In 1541, after the dissolution of the

church became the Cathedral of CheS-

ton, dating back to 1893, are incor-
porated in the cathedral, but most OF
it dates from the twelfth to the six

In monastic times the abbey was
rich and of much Importance. The

were performed each year before its
gates, when a fair was held on the
feast of st. Werbergh, the patron
saint of Chester. A curious custom
prevailing among builders in the mid
die ages was that of carving grOtesque
figures-not only on the exteriors of
churches, like gargOyles, but often on
their interiors. Perched cOyly in a
corner high up on the cathedral, is
such a joke, known as "The Chester
Imp"
A reminder of more recent days Is
found in two flags drGped on the wall
of the south aisle OF the cathedral
which were carried by the British at
the battle of Bunker Hill; not far from
these are displayed the colors of the
| Chester Guards, borne at Quebec.
A wonderful work of restoration to
be seen in Chester is that in the
Church of st. John. This was Ell
thedral church and dates from the late
eleventh century. 1t was occupied by
a Norman bishop in 1913, but in few
years he removed the seat OF his
bishopric to Coventry. The church a:
