Voting 4 to against recom- mendation of the board of finance and taxation that $50,000 be pro- vided to build and equip fire sta ton to serve the western section of the city. the common council last night declined to sanction this ad- dition to the fire fighting forces.
 Every republican member of the council voted against the project, as did also four democrats: Council Murphy, w. w. Greene and Lucian Macora. Alderman John F. Maerz and Councilmen Frank l.. Con- lon and Samuel Sablotsky, demo- crats, voted for the appropriation. Council representatives of the first, third and fifth wards, the dis tricts which were to have directly benefited, voted against the station. and the opponents also included two fire insurance men, Councilman Cles- son w. Parker and Councilman Will | liam D. Boyle. It. was the first meet | ing in the memory of regular at 1 tendants, at which a report of the 1 board of finance and taxation was up i for action with Chairman Edward F. i Hall of the board of finance and | taxation absent. The finance board chairman did not occupy a chair in the common council chamber last | night and it was not possible to gain the finance boards viewpoint on the | project.
 Would Deny Explanation
 Seeking information, Councilman ! Samuel Sablotsky. father of the reso- lution, asked that an explanation be made by Chairman James J. Butler of the fire commission. Councilman 1 W. SpauldinG Warner protested, arguing that the proposition was fully discussed in reports made to | previous meetings
 Councilman Sablotsky reminded that heads of other departments are consulted freely and that the coun- ci should have the benefit of all available information before voting. Mayor PaoncGsa insisted that courtesy to a commission demanded that the arguments be heard, and Alderman Donald L. Bartlett favored full information. It was then de- cided that the fire board be heard.
 Butler Tells of Need
 Chairman Butler traced the his | tory of the movement briefly. He re- minded of the councils resolution asking his board to present a re- port on methods of financing the project other than direct taxation

GRAPEFRUIT men
TO EXPERIMENT
in LATE PICKING

Among the items of interest in the
report OF the agricultural extension
service for the month of May, are
the following.
"The Imperial Valley grapefruit
growers of FL Centre state that their
fruit sustained losses from decay III
storage. Fruit which they expert
mentally left on the trees held up
very we'll until late April and sus-
tanned less loss from dropping and
other causes than did the stored fruit
from decay.
"In the future they hope to leave
some Of their grapefruit ON the trees
until late April or early May. When
fruit is held late in the season on
the trees it is the opinion Of the
agricultural extension service that
orchard windbreaks will prove Of
greater value than they have hereto
fore"
Concerning wheat, an interesting
experiment was performed for the
study Of irrigation 1equirements.

Christian Science


The lesson sermon Sunday in all
Christian Science churches, branches
of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bos-
ton, Massachusetts,, discusses the
subject, "God the Preserver of
Man.
A number of the Bible selections
relate to the words and works of the
Master as recorded in the four gos-
pcls, including these verses from
Mark: "'And Jesus, when he came
out saw much people, and was
moved with compassion toward them,
because they were as sheep not hav-
ing a shepherd and he began to
teach them many things. And
whithersoever he entered, into vii.
lagos, or cities, or country, they laid
the sick in the streets, and besought
him that they might touch if it were
but the border of his garment: and
as many as touched him were made
whole.
Among the correlative passages
from the Christian Science textbook,
"Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures, by Mary Baker
Eddy, are these words from the pre-
face: 1.-THE physical healing OF
Christian Science results now, as in
Jesus time, from the operation of
divine Principle, before which sin
and disease lose their reality in
human consciousness and disappear
as naturally and as necessarily as
darkness gives place to light and sin
to reformation.
