" LIFE SAVING NET FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. | The Civie Fire and. Light Committee Also to Buy Tarpaulins--Chief for 500 Feet More Hose, and Will Get 250. The Fire and Light Committed met on Tuesday afternoon and consider- ed its estimates for the year. The general expenditure on the fire de- partment may be.cut down a little as compared to last year, hut street lighting is likely to cost $1,085.71 more, if the rates remain the same as last year. It is estimated that the cost*will be $21,666. On motion of Ald. Corbett it was decided to ap- point Alds. O'Connor, White and Ni- ckle to confer with the Utilities Com- mission regarding the stréet light- \ng question and endeavor to arrange for a satisfactory contract. At pres- ent. there is no contract for street lighting, Ald. O'Connor remarked that if by the Utilities Commission it might be necessary to cut off gome of the present lights. Mayor Richardson came in asthe meeting was about to adjourn and told of what the Commission had de- cided to do in regard to the cost of the "white way". Every dollar of the cost was to be charged against street lighting, when more than it had re- ceived the benefit of the placing of the wires in conduits. He could not see much hope for cheaper street lighting if the Commission insisted upon charging the whole cost of<ghe "white way" as suggested. The cost of the new fire alarm system, Chief Armstrong estimates at $1,627.76. It is thought that the system may pay for itself in three not be issmed for the expenditure. This matter is still under considera~ tion, Chief Armstrong asked for 500 ad- ditional feet of 'hose, and the Com- mittee decided to give him 250 feet. The Chief reported that there was big fire occurred in a block on Prin- cess street this would not be enough to handle the blaze. The fire department has never had a life net, and the Committee will endeavor to purchase one this year if its appropriation is made large | enough. = It will also supply the de- partment with six tarpaulins to pro. tect goods in case of fire. The Chief asked for twelve. New doors will be placed on the lower fire station, while the upper station will have to get along with the present doors. The Chief recommended the pur- chase of two new horses, but the Committee decided to trust to the steeds that wow draw the fire appa- | ratus. In attendance at the meeting were Alds. O'Connor (Chairman), Corbett, Nickle and Laturney. THE Y. M. C. A. CANVASS, | Up Till Noon "on Wednesday Had be Yielded $1,496.50. Returns till noon Wednesday in therY. M. C.
