Must Protect Kingston. Ald. Milne raised the question as to the action taken by fire depart- ments in other cities. Fire Chief Armstrong stated that both Toronto and Hamilton charged for outside service. In Toronto, a city fireman had been injured on a call from outside the city. The mu- nicipality concerned had refused to pay the damages, and afterwards the department had refused to answer outside calls. The matter was discussed frofl various angles, and it was the opin- ion of the committee that if the fire department did respond to a call for help from outside the city, there should be a nominal fee of $500. Then again it was felt that the city could not afford to risk a big fire breaking out in Kingston while some of the firefighters were away with some of their apparatus, and it was finally decided that no calls from outside the city be responded to unless definite arrangements were made by the places concerned, with the city. The various municipali- ties in the Kingston district will be notified to 'this effect and if the re- commendation of the committee passes the council, the outside mu- nicipalities will have to open nego- tiations with the city for protection. It is of interest to note that at the present time the fire and light committee has some firefighting ap- paratus to dispose of, and some of the nearby places have been noti- fled, but as yet no application has been received for firefighting appli- ances. Fire Chief Armstrong brought to the attention of the committee the need for a water hydrant at the cor- ner of William and Barrie street, and stated that action should be ta- ken' to secure a hydrant at this cor- ner before the proposed paving was undertaken at this corner. On mo- tion of Ald. Peters, the committee will ask that a hydrant be placed at this corner. Ald. O'Connor, the chairman, pre- sided at the meeting, and also pre- sent were Alds. Milne, Peters, Reid and Chown. What Does May 1st Mean to You?

On Sunday after midnight some unknown person entered the railway station at Harrowsmith, by taking the glass out of one of the windows. Shortly after one o'clock Monday morning the station agent was awak- ened from his slumbers by a farmer who was returning home by motor. When the driver of the car was crossing the railway tracks in front of the station he noticed some large pieces of glass on the platform and thought that there was something wrong. ' When the station agent made an investigation it was found that the glass had been taken out of one of the windows and the thief had en- tered the building that way. Upon going over the records at the station it was discovered that the cash drawer had been tampered with but only a few coppers taken. Provincial Police Officer MacLach- lan, Kingston, has been investigating the case but has been unable to get any trace of the thieves. It is thought that the robbery must have taken place about one o'clock, as the train crew on the night train which passed through Harrowsmith' at 12.30 said' that everything was in good order at that time.
