is not dead issue even though there has been little mention of it in the press or at council meetings in the past few months Alderman Earle Williams chairman of the Fire and Traf fic Committee said this morn ing that while the purchase of 65ltfoot snorkel truck was ac tually recommended to council previously the committee had requested the recommendation be ignored in view of additional information thatcame to light which required further study It had been planned to make necessary renovations to the fire hall under the winter works pro gram last winter and it was to this end that the committee had hurried its recommendation to council Alderman Williams said this morning we thought we could make the decision and get startv ed on the project last winter but in view of additional

grounds that Sifoot truck would not be adequate for future needs The committee is new study ing the availability and cost of several other similar vehicles of up to 85ltfoot boom length The cost of the vehicle has been estimated to be in the neighborhood of $40 to $50 thou sand dollars and the cost of re novations at the fire hall to ac commodate the vehicle is esti mated at between $10 and 515
