MOVIE INDUSTRY HsMPERED

Provincial ministers and teachers seriously ondanger the German movie industry, accord ing to the Berlin Zwoelf Uhr Blatt, mouth piece of film producers.
 Germany like other countries has movie censorship boards. While citizens of various walks of life in the large cities usually evince a broadminded attitude towards motion pie lures, ministers and school teachers who make up a majority of the censorship boards in the provinces, are so narrow in their interpreta- tions of what is immoral and what is not, the newspaper said, as to constitute menace to the industry.

ALLEN WILL BUILD
 NO. 7FIRE HOUSE
Commission Passes on Bids For
 Stanley Quarter Station /

A motion that the board of fire commissioners recommend 10 the common council that the lowest bids, totalling s28.9S0,25. for the construction of the No. fire house in Stanley Quarter be accepted was passed at a meeting Of the board last evening. The motion was made by Commissioner Michael King and seconded by Commissioner Timothy Shanahan.
 The bids, as approved by the board, are as follows: General con- tract, $20,426, ". H. Allen Co.,; plumbing, s2,2S125, c. J. Leroux; electrical, s1,095. Billings Electric Co.,: heating, SIPS, A. A. Mills; total, $25,o30.25; excavating, ap- proXimate allowance, $1,350, An selo Tomasso; hardware, $400; concrete driveways, etc, 5000; architectural services. $1,SoO; grand total. $28,980.25.
 Last nights meeting was held so that the bids might be approved and prepared for presentation to the common council at an early date. Mayor Gardner c. Weld. who was present. stated that he will call a special council meeting soon for the purpose of acting on the fire board proposals and severa. other matters of importance, Pres ent also last evening was Edward F. Hall, chairman of the board of finance and taxation.
 The mayor and Senator Hall ex- pressed their approval Of what the board has done, saying that ita work has been highly commendable in regard to planning the new sta tion.
 Commissioner King, who has never endorsed the proposed site for the new house on Stanley street opposite St. Mary's playground, ex- pressed himself as being in favor of site at the corner of the proposed boulevard and Stanley street, oppo- site the Stanley school stating that the surroundings would be better in such g location and that the company could better care for the north end section.
 Senator Hall expressed his Oppo- sition 10 such a move, saying that a fire house should never be placed across the street from a school Aside from the danger to the chil- dren, every alarm answered by a company at such a point would bring about a cessation of work al the school for time and would cause disturbance at the institution while children run to windows to watch the trucks go by, he said. He further stated that the con- pany could better serve the needs , of the city on the site selected since it will have 10 hold itself in readiness to answer calls to the congested districts between North and Allen streets, az well as care i for Belvidere. It would be much easier for the apparatus to get tt a fire from it's proposed station than from one farther north. Chiet William J. Noble was opposed tc moving the site farther north.
 William II, Mckay, the architect I in charge Of the new house, said 1 that the station should be con- ] plcted by November 1 and ready i for occupancy by August 1.
