LIVING STON"'S NIL COST Bi SUM TO REPAIR DAMAGE TO CITY BUILDINGS. r-------- The Amount May Reach $20,000 Chief Saw at the Beginning That It Was Impossible to Save the Dome. Ten thousand dollars will by no means rebuild the city buildings' dome and repair the other damgge done by Friday's fire. It will take at least ¥15,000, and the cost may reach the $20,000 mark when the to- tal is sumined up a year lence, for it is not anticipated that the new dome and clock will be completed much before that time. Steel set in re-inforced concrete is suggested for the new dome. There is every pro- bability that steel will be the chief make-up of the dome that is to be. Some aldermen want a larger 'dome than the old one, while others point out that the one destroyed by fire was quite large enough. It was de- signad hy an eminent architect and fitted the building to perfection. Many would like to see the old dome re produced in steel. The question of design will be an important thing for the city council to settle. Light On Ruined Dome. Suspended to a pole above the ruins of the city building's dome bangs an electric are light as an aid to navigation at night, in place of the illuminated clock dials on the south and west sides, for which the city received a grant of ¥364 a year from the Dominion marine depart- ment. People wondered why the ruins were illuminated, thinking it 'was for some weird purpose. Many a vessel has been gwded into the harhor hy the lights of the city clock dials as beacons. Even mariners: who knew the harbor well used them constantly. Friday was the only night for per- haps forty years that a light has not appeared from the dome of the city buildings. : The city officials and a few others on Saturda¥ and Sunday wend through the ruins of the dome. pick- ing" out souvenirs of the fire, particu larly pieces of the metal of the old town clock bell, which was smashed into pieces and much of it melted. Some of the souvenir-hunters covetede the hig that marked the four corners of the compass upon the hel- fry. ly Saturday evening a good part of the burned dome and the charred portions that stood and unsafe were removed so that a temporary roof could be erected to keep the rain from getting below. | letters were Tactics Of The Fight. The throngs who watched the gress of the fire outside did not see nor did they know of the fight that was going on inside, just beneath the dome. At that point two streams were heing poured upwards to stay the progress of the fire which was getting mto the walls and slowly making its way down to the care- taker's quarters. With the brigade ,t four o'clock it was not a question of saving the dome, but of saving the buildings, for the fire was surely mak- ing its way downward, as a survey jof the place shows. Had the fire heen fought from the outside alone it | would Téver nave been put out. As was pointed out before the building saved from the inside, and the city buildings' standpipe water supply helped in the work. After-cansideration outside attack on the fire should have been made from the roof of the market building. Ladders planted on top of this builiing would have brought" a stream or two right - up into the dome at a time when it was | ite safe for the firemen to have climbed that far. After four o'clock, however, 'it was too late to undertake this. An engineer who wa? present at the fir gtates that it would have | much time if the burst suction pipe fof the 'McLaughlin engine had -- been temporarily répaired, instead of send- ing off for the Merrywegther ancl hav- ing to wait till she had steamed wp. {The suction hose, he said, could have | bee n quickly repaired, as he examined it aiterwards. pro- was shows that an saved Saturday Night Alarm. On Saturday evening at 7.30 o'clock smoke was notifed coming thought irom the cupola on the west wing of the city building, It was supposed that some remmants of Fri day's five had ignited the cupdfa, and if so. the buildings were in danger. An alarm was sent from the police sta- tion to the stations, and the brigade was on hand in two minutes. When ('aretaker Ballantyne was met just after the alarm had been piven, he soon set all fears at rest. On the On- tario street side of the cupola there is a small stone chimney. He had a fire going in the building to dry things and the smoke was from this. The chimney cauld not be seen from the Market place walk. Although the bri- gade was called out, it was with good intentions. © No chances were taken when the smoke was noticed. Saw There Was No Hope. Chief Elmer and Asgistant Chi Stratford say that when they went up into the dome. - after reaching the buildings, and found that it was im- possible to get a line of hose un to the clock, inside, they knew the dome was doomed, and that the ficht would be to save the buildings. After that, the work of the brigade was directed chiefly under the dome mside to fight the fire as it would come ervadually down. Fifteen minutes after ihe alarm was given, they had little thought of the dome being saved. That became an insignificant thing in comparison to the buildings themselves, Below the dome, fire was fought inch by inch. The blaze had got good head- way before the alarm reached the stations. Mf the men of the lower-sta- tion had received word a few minutes earlier there miocht have been Ww chance of gettine up THe=Cinding stairs, al though those who were on the snot at the time the blaze broke out say it wouldn't have mattered. Some After-Discoveries. A small quantity of the firemen's as 'was | hose and some. of that conmected, with the city buildings' standpipe was buri- ed in the ruins of the dome, but was recovered uhinjured. A The city has no longer a 'fire bell." Theré was a time when St. Mary's cathedral bell as well as the 'town clock bell, was rung for fire alarm. Of course p fire bell is not absolutely required, but thers are occasions when it is very convenient for citizens to know there is pn fire and where. ; From Friday until to-day, there was no gas in the city Buildings, it having been cut off when the fire broke out. Later on one of the pipes melted, and was not repaired till to-day. The pol ico had to use lanterps and lamps. An impression, was abroad that the standpipe hose at its highest noipt in the city buildings, did not reach' to the clodk, but it did. The hose was quite long enough. Tt could not be taken up, however, for the reason that wo human being could mount the winding stairs to the clock without being suffocated in the attempt. The firemen tried it, but were forced back. That's why the fire became master. 1t could not be fought inside at the start. Its would-be destroyers were kept at bay. While the firemen give credit to the tug Frontenac's crew for its work at the a of the dome, they nicicule the im sioh that it was the Fron- tenac's stream that caused the turn- ing .point in the fight. The tug's stream was g small one, and although carried up to the dose after the belicy had fallen, it bad only a small effect | upon fhe blaze. The two, streams inside the buildings were doing the éffeetive work. - Police Sergeant Neshitt was the last man to ring the bell of the old town clock. As soon as the,éry of fire was raised in tho city huildings on Fri- day afternoon, he grabbed the rope in the police station, by which the bell was rung for fire alarms. Three-quar- ters of an hour later the bell was in the ruins of the "dome. The sergeant has in his possession for a souvenir the hook on which the bell was hung in tho belfry, - With The City Officials, The city buildings' interior is drying pretty yell after the awfal gutting it got. Above the city hall roof, the ceil- ings will all have to come down. Those below will have to be kalsom- ined, and a good deal of painting done in parts of the buildings. On Saturday, the, officials were able so do little business. In the treasury department, everything of value was dumped into the vault, and had to be sorted next day, In the city" enginecr's offics there is on exhibition a large piece of the bell as it originally was. It was burigd deep in the debris and only a nortion of the edge was melted. The piece was | dng out on Saturday alterncon, ang it will he retained #8 a souvenir in the buildings. John Jenkins, carpenter, who 'was doing the wood work in congection with the new dials, states that there were no shavings, rotten wood or sawdust on the !' floor around the clock. Everything of this. description had been swept away. The fire," he says, did not originate from any rub- bish up there. An emergent meeting of the city council has been called for this after- noon at five o'clock, to discuss the question of recoustruction _of the burned dome.

He lauded the spirit of veneration of the past, eulo- sized the rearing of monuments to na- tion budders, hoped that one would yet be erected to the memory of Wil made mistakes, yet had done much for liberty and responsible government in Canada, and in stirring words set forth. the greatness of Champlain, Montealm and Wclfe, in whose me- mory Canada was to-day celebrating. He approved the idea of nationalizing as a park the Plains ofy Abraham, and in conclusion urged the cultivation of a spirit of reverence and regard for past history. = The choir sung finely : Mr. Goad of Toronto, gave a solo and Miss Sparling and Mr. Shea rendered a duet.
