BOND ISSUE FOR FIRE
DEPARTMENT APPROVED
Council Favors Ordinance Au-
thorizing S6o7.o0O Loan
for Safety Department.

The way was made clear by City
Council in committee Of the whole ]ast
night for the issuing of bonds to de-
fraying the expenses of the establish
ment Of the new paid FIRE department
when the members gave their uaani-
nous approval to an ordinance au-
thorizing a bond issue in the sum Of
s697 600. which is the amount the
Public Safety Department directors
estimate they will require TO purchase
fire houses, equipment. uniforms and
meet other expenses in connection
with the project.
The ordinance had been referred to
the committee Of the whole last week
and Councilman Forwood, chairman Of
the finance committee informed the
members last evening that he and the
other members of his committee could
sec nothing that they could do but
pass the ordinance. There was no
other discussion OF the proposition and
the ordinance was given the unani-
nous approval Of the members present
1t will be presented 10 Council in
regular meeting tonight and adopted
and then referred to the mayor for his
be- taken to have the bonds placed on
the market at the very earliest date
As the Public Safety Directors are
anxious 10 secure the cash without
delay. Much of it will be used 10 pay
for the fire houses the directors have
been buying from the present volun-
teer FIRE companies
Council also gave their approval to
an ordinance amending an ordinance
providing for a bond issue of $500
600 for harbor improvements. This
ordinance will be adopted at the meet
ing tonight. IL increases the rate OF
interest from 1-2 per cent as pro-
vided in the original law to per cent
which the Councilmen believe will
facilitate the sale of the bonds
Three other ordinances approved
last night and which will be passed
this evening were those providing for
the appointment Of a public health
committee. a public safety committee
and harbor committee. This is a
consolidation OF Council committees
20 facilitate the work OF that body.
