The chairman of the Board of Works was authorized, if necessary, to extend: the work of stumping in thisâ€"section, at the same cost per foot. At the same July. meeting of counâ€" cil, the Baoard of Works was authorâ€" ized to put onm<menâ€"to:clean â€"up loose stones «on streets, the: stones to be hauled to a suilable place â€"to hbe crushâ€" ed fow. street. dressing. | At the: September 4th meeting, the town. foreman was instructed to enâ€" gage a man to burn the stumps on streets, ~except the stumps taken out by Mr. Sheridan. Council consiered that the:cantract:called for the removâ€" al of the stumps from any portion in or on the streets. Theâ€" 1916 â€"ecouncil not â€"only wished the streets free of stumps, loose stoneés, â€"etc., but they also desired that streets ~should be free of; loose paper and other waste. Accordingly, it was moved by Councillor Brazeau, secâ€" onded by Councillor Dr. McIinnis, and resolved, that "the clerk be instructâ€" ed to. purchagse six cast iron boxes suitable for collecting paper, etc., from Even. more difficult than the other cleanmps-w.as the chore:â€" of "cleaning up" fire prevention plans and pracâ€" tices..

They wereâ€" dirty: with stumps. ‘The fire protection situation: was in need of, a cleanâ€"up. There was necessity forâ€" a: cleanâ€"up of financial problems. Metaphorically speaking, the 1916 ccuncil coultin‘t put the serub brush theâ€"mop, theâ€"broom, or the washboard away even. for a minute. The cleanâ€"up of health conditions in town wasâ€"covered.:forâ€"the: time <beâ€" ing by the following resolution, movâ€" ed; by Dr. Mcinnis, seconded by A.

While effort was ‘being made to secure effective fire protection the town. had: what might be termed ‘"‘side troubles.""‘ One of "these is suggested by the following resolution passed â€"at the July 3 meeting in 1916: ‘"Moved by Councilior C. G. Williams, secondâ€" edâ€"byâ€"Councillor A.

Perhaps, it would be fair to SaY that the councilâ€" was divided more thyough. viewpoint than through. any, differâ€" ence of opinion. Dr. Melnnis thought of the danger to the. town and., its people from fire, and, he was inclined to answer the suggestion of not being able to afford. this or : that,, bY the counter statement, "You.can‘t afford to go without it.". . _On the other. hand, soms of the other members of. council were.prohâ€" ably too concerned. oveY costs. No one can blame them for this, necause they had cnough difficulties in. finâ€" ancing other parts of the town‘s busâ€" iness. In any event, it is to the credit of the mayor and. councils of the early days that, they were always ready to. listen, without: undue heat, to any discussion, and they were ready to be convinceed, though someâ€" times it seemed to take quite a bitâ€"of convincing to do the work. One of the chief topics of.diseussion centred round the duities: of: the. fire chief. Dr. Mcinnis thought it was 2. fullâ€"time job for the right.â€"man, while: some others seemed to consider "that the fire chief should do anything: and everything that needed to be done "in his spare time." At the October 2, meeting a resolution was passed to. specify the duties of the fire chief. This resolution was moyed by Connâ€" cillor C. G. Wiliams, and: secaonded by Dr. Mcinnis. It: read: "That a, byâ€"law be ,gzm)ared_ftq.dcv fine the dut‘es of the fire chief, sameâ€" to be (1) Take charge of fighting all fires; (2) To take charge of all fire equipment; (3) To exarmmife. all build~ jngs, etc., for of ‘Ael fAfes: (4) To take ‘complete.
