Premature falling Of apples is one

The new spray contains a few

the last few years. In strong con-

ers to certain conditions reported
to exist at fire stations in the city,
was read to the city council yester-
day morning at the weekly
meeting in the city hall.
At its conclusion Mayor Thomas
E. Cooper said he and City. Attor-
ney William B. Campbell will make
a tour of the stations today to
ascertain just what conditions are
at the fire stations and what steps,
if any, should be taken regards to
them.
Grand jury reports more or less
consistently have made some re-

station dormitories, where the men
are allowed to sleep while on night
duty, for a period of some months
but no action on the recommends
tons of the inquisitorial body has
ever been taken.
