Chief Armstrong and Ald, N. C Polson, chairman of the Fire and Light Committee were doing much worrying when the water pressure went down. It was to be expected that when the pressure was low a fire would break out somewhere, The expected did not happen, however, and the city was safe. The enterprise which was shown in partly overcoming the difficulty is worthy of credit. A motor truck from Boyd's garage was secured im- mediately after the pressure went down. On this track, which was kept at the upper fire station, was placed chemicals and light apparatus for the purpose of quickly overcoming any small fire.

Arrangements Being Made by Hotel Dieu Authorities to Over the A.0.H. Building. If negotiations now under way go through successfully the nurses of the Hotel Dieu will take over the Ancient Order of Hibernians' build ing on Brock street as a nurses' home. At present thé Hotel Dieu is using the residence next to the A.O/H. building, but even this.ex tension to the hospital is not suffi- cient to take care of the demands on the institution for space. There are thirty-two nurses in the Hotel Dieu, and in the interests of the nurses' comfort and convenience and in the administration of the hospital the Mother' Superior and other authorities consider that the A.OH. building would do a great amount of good. The change would help in a great many ways beside giving more room for patients with the nurses moved to the A.O.H. building. No definite decision has been ar- rived at yet, but it is understood that the proposal will go through as the Hotel Dieu is greatly in need of such a place, and this particular building is admirably adapted to the work.
