L. Longmore, J. E. Sullivan, E. S. Noble, T. F. King and J. E. Morin present. The matter of a new fire truck for the carrying of ladders, there being no present equipment for this pur- pose, was discussed. The Fire Chief said that a suitaFle truck could be se- cured for about $1500.00 The Mayor and Council did not expect the truck would cost so much, but they thought mine provision for the transportation of ladders, ete., was very necessary. The matter was left for the Clerk and the Fire Chief to secure prices and submit them to the next meeting of Council. ’ The matter of chimney fires, de- fective and dirty stovepipes was also referred to, as Well as the question of exits from rooming houses, and fire escapes on the Reed block. In answer to a question from Councillor King the Fire Chief said that few fires here lad started from the chimneys and this was true generally. It the chim- ney were all right, it did little narm and caused little danger to have it urn out. Stovepipes were a more l'requent cause of.' fires. This brought up the question of the inspection of chimneys and pipes with a view to preventing danger of fires.

A BURNS Mill Mor, ’ llf THE NEWS ill TIMMIIS Curling is one of the winter sports that should be established in Tim- mins.

The cost of electrifying “I: T. & N.0. would be about nine millintt dollars.
