Fire Dept. Estimates

Coun. 11E. Holland said the Chief or the Fire Depot-intent had wade his estimate of rcquirunehts $0895.25. as low as possible. There was one machine whose tires were 21 years old. Provisions should probably have been rnade for a new set but it was nOt done in the in- terests of strict economy, Vl/lih reference to an item of $1,000 for an assistant fire chief. Conn. l-loiv land said. something hscl to he clone in the way of lessening the fire insurance rates. He had no intention of being critical hut iherc was a possibility ihut Cifv administration costs were a lltilc heavy.

Coun. J.D. Stewart said he thought there should be "an eclu» eational background" built up so that. people would become more fire conscious and therefore more careful. Hr- would welcome anyone coming into his place oi’ business who could suggest methods where- by his fire hazards mdght be les- seried.

Mayor hint-Donald said ho thought the Fife Marshall arould be protecting fihwfiitvrof-her rtha n the City lirotectirlfl tho Fire Mn!" shall’: office. When tho City had secured its plumper the Council had hem informed there would he a drop of five rents in the fit-o rules. The drop had not occurred.

Coun, ilf.A. Farmer sirggosr-rl that the services of Cst. 1.11mi of the Police Department might be utilized to fill such a position as Coun. Holland had in mind.

Cami. Sirervtirt - “There is a crying need for a luau of some kind in this City» The suggestion of the Firs Marshall was that ‘he City put on three permanent fire‘ men and appoint it permanent. Fire Chief. Then a.- five cent reduction in fire rates would be granted. The appointment oi‘ an assistant Fire Chief would slit-w the City a 1W0 cent reduction, Coun. Stewart said.

Coun. N,W. Liowther said he thought Mr. Boer. the Fire Mar-- shall, should have such a man in his office.

Court. Stewart said the Fire Marshall had had such a uian at one tinnc as assistant to him in his position of secretary of the Flre Underwriters’ Association. but that the office had been abolished.

Commenting on thc condition of the streets, Coun. Stewart said his department had had 317.400 to cover the cost of labour and that $15,000 of that amount had already been spent. 'I'here had been mnntv compalnia from people on street conditions but, considering the severity of the winter and thc un- usual snowfall, he thought tho men had done as good a job as was physically possible, Colin. Stewart said he believed the City would have to stand on its own feet in future winter snow removals. The arrangement made with the Pro- vincial Governsncnt had not been satisfactory elihor to thc Govern- ment or to the City. I-fe did not think the Governi-nent lost very much for they collected 13 cents on every gallon of gas used by the City in its snow fightlnl.

Poll ‘hxco

Court. Edwin C. Johnstone said only 4s per cent o! those assessed for poll tax last year had paid. "We should make o strenuous effort to collect all poll taxes in order to maintain jlstico and equality am- ong all citizens. They should be notified that they will have to pay or they will be garnishced."

Mayor: "1 don't know how we can mske them psy, Cotmclllor Johnson".
