Four utore fitemen are to be add- ed to the Kingston brigade. It took the City Council about half an haur to cote to a decision in favor of the recommendaton of the Fire Com- mittee, which got right down to bu- siness at its first meeting and hand- wl out i substantial * for consideration. When Ald. Suther- land, the chairman of the commit tes, presented the recommendation last evening it looked at first as if it would be bowled out or referred back, but the chairman held his ground and with Alds. Richardson, Nickle, Harrison and Hughes instilling the fear of fire into the hearts of the city fathers, and emphasizing their duty to the people' he carried the proposal of increase by a vote of 13 to. 4. The brigade will now number eighteen men and this year will cost $2,460 move.. Ald. Sutherland read to the coun: cil facts and figures supplied By Chief Avmstrong, who asked for four more men in view of the larce in- crease in property and the impossi- bility of handling the present limit. ed number of men to the best ad- vantage. Ald Stroud opposed the recommen. 'dation because of the increase in cost. He claimed that the city could not afford to spend more money on the fire department just now. Furthermore he thought the hri- gade in number compared favorably with other places. Ald. Clugston opposed the increase: for similar reasons. Ald. Hoag thought it was too early in the year to bring in a re commendation for an increased ex- penditure of $2,460. It would be better, he held, to 'postpone action until the Finapce committee had a chance to figure ont where it stood Ald.

DALY BRITISH OUR NEW FIREMEN EPISTLE OF "TOM" MeAULEY | ---- To the City Comncil--Prayer Beads For Aldermen, The following letter from the vetec- an bookseller, "Tom." McAuley, was read at the city council meeting on Monday evening' and | provoked much amusement : "To the mayor and aldermen of the city of Kingston:=Gentlemen : "Il am glad to notice that you feel that the proceedings of the council should be opened with prayer. Such a step ought to do the people in gen- eral and the council in particular a at deal of good: 1 think that 1 ie credit for first introducing the matter of religion into the delibera- tions of the council of the city of Kingston, by presenting, a few vears ago, a large copy of, the Ten" om- ameridments td, your Predepessors. & ning not so sure ghat theyehave [been faith- » THOMAS McAULEY. fully obeyed at all timesy in-fact 1 know some of them have been broken by the council, and vet I don't regret the presentation. I did.my part and if I don't see you in hefiven, why" it won't be my fault. i "1 am sending each member of the council an easy mesdns of contintal prayer, and 1 hope you will accept the present in the spirit in which 1 send it.

Something should be done t« give the city better The chief asked for three more men. and Ald. Nickle held that this request should Ald. Nickle referred to several fires to show how the brigade was short ip numbers. He struck out at those op- posing the - recommendation. . "They would be the first to holler, if their houses go down," he declared. Ald. Harrison was strong for the increase. The city's growth alone de: manded more firefighters, +. Ald. Richardson also spoke on . be- half of. thetdncrease. The fire commit- teé and the chief knew what was need- ed, and he would follow their advice. Alds, McCann, Couper, and Kent, admitted the wisdom,of having a larg- er fire hrigade, but thought it would be wise if Ald. Sutherland 'would with- draw this recommendation and bring it in about the time the budget was struck, so that the finance committeo could figure out the resources it had. Ald. Nickle opposed any delay. In one fire might be lost more than the amount of the four extra men's wages. Ald. Hughes drew a pictare of what might occur if the. hosiery mill and the cotton mill, were afire at the same time. For lack of, four men, one of the mills might be so damaged that the employees would be out of work for a month or more. The burden would rest upon those who refused the chief's petition for more Brenipe, Ald. Sutherland woidnd up the dis- cussion by calling for the yous and nays.
