Ald. Ross replied that the question was a `difficult one `to answer at:( pre- sent. The Board of Workshad been spending $4,000 a year zlaiuely huit` this had "been out `to $2,700 and it re- mained to be seen whether the work could be done inside the estimate. Mr. /J. H. Bennett urged that. it would be a waste of money: to spend ' five or six thousand -dollars in re- modelling the old building. `He would rather `see an entirely new `building 7 `erected at a cost `of, ten or `twelve 3' thousand dollars. 1 1 l ' - ' ,, -LL.: Mr. N; Dyment favored using the` mesent `building tuntil the `town could afford to erect a. mew one; . , we as _, ,,1.L LL- _--:aA nnqjyvgn III!` 'Kll.L\lA\A vs: xv-vv- V Dr. Wells thought the wise course I lwas to submit the question to as vote 1 of. the people. It would not A be a good advertisement for the It,-own to have a. 27 mill rate. - Mr. H. H. Strathy K. 0., stated that the whole spirit of the Municipal -Act was against the Council spending any considerable sum of money without first asking `the sanction A of the people. He didn't "think it would be a very high code of municipal moral- ity to first ask for $3,000 for a; fire- hall, as had been done, and after get- ting this to double up onthe sum voted. V ,...,a__~- -_.-...: mr. amt Bali. ' I ; Ald. Strange asked Mr. Geo. Ball; to express an opinion regarding "the plans which had been prepared. Mr. Ball's idea. was that as the i` town owned` the present building, `U which `the suggested alterations would make most suitable for the purposes.` V of a fire-hall, it would `be the! height of f-olly to expend ten or twelve: th-o_u'sand dollars on a new edifice. V with the result that the present one would remain uselues on the town`s hands. _'He would be satisfied to pay an extra `two mills on the dollar. this ` year. and clear off the debt. The $2,000 on hand would only be wasted 1 if expended on improvements. More money -was needed . I Mr. William Armstrrdnizg ' -.-t&1bui,ght_ the 64th ward fire-hall should `be properly equipped before any fur- ther money was spent` `on putting up a new `building which was not badly neelddd. He "had ..heard a lot d of `talk about the new tirehall. but 11 thought `that the menthat paid the V a least `had `the most `to say. `-As alarge ra-tepayer and one who understood the ~wi`shes` of the 6th 'W'ard'-he could say that they did` not `want td see the taxrate raised.. . Mr. Martin Burton stated that he D1 in [ab nu uau uuuuu u.\.......-..... }' Ald.

Lett pointed out that as `the sanction of the people had been asked `to spend `the first $3.- 000. permission should also be asked before another $3.000 was spent.
