There Is evi- _ B#ent friction between the Board of : Water Commissioners and the Fire {and Water Committee of the Town 'Couretl,: As a result of the fire a few weeks 1880 at the Thornton Rubher Co.'s plant a frank discussion took place :8t 2 subsequent meeting of the {Water Commission as to the way the blaze had 'been handled. Some i@riticism of the fire department wag : Voiced, although the commissioners :8teted readily that they knew they iad po authority over that depart- tthent, The Commissioners found ttha. there had been some hungling it the pump house, the steam auxil- ®ry pump mot having been started dp it should have been, The Water "Commission is responsible for af- "airs at the pump house, and orders mere therefore issued to prevent sim- "far mistakes being made again. The suggestion was also made at this snecting that a conference should be 'held, it possible, with the Fire and Water Committee so that steps vould be taken to render the best sarvice at future fires. i: Fire Chief Cdmeron, as a result vf the criticisms at this meeting, pked Council to make an investiga- glon. This seems like a natural re- smest, and Chairman Hill of the Fire tind Water Committee told The Re- former that such a probe would be id. Deputy Reeve Hill expressed opinion that members of the ater Commission had.toe much to $iy, and that they always blamed someone else.if the water pressure f8iled as it did at the Thornton fire, "SThere probably has been too much ef "passing the buck" .im the past, 28% the deputy reeve alleges, but there should be mo more of it. Both the Plater Commission and the fire de- pariment @nd Fire and Water com- Buittee probably have blundered in @fe past, as perfect mortals are not Sdecuently found in this world.

The defea -of the fire equipment by-law at Nev Year's has delayed long overdue im- provements in the Oshawa depart- ment. Oshawa needs sufficient full time firemen, with a full time chief, to handle-the motor truck, with vol- r firemen as well to man the todider truck. It also needs an im- automatic alarm system, ev- en®glthough a pumper may not be pufghased for a time. A team of B59 horses should be at the hall all the time, prepared to respond to any 2larm. Using the fire team to do other work is a practice which maF hawe been permissible when a was a village, but it is an- between the Water Commission, the Fire and Water Committee and other bodies is need- ed.: The people expect service first their representatives, and that possible to the fullest extent "is Bo friction is allowed to creep in. ---- » weeks ago last might dhe of 4 ' 3 i goad .infentions of. the.

MARTIN Welcome Young Man Finally Agrees to Help Pay Ex- pense Incurred In the county judge's criminal court at Cobourg Wednesday, Hd- ward Martin, of Welcome, was al- lowed to go by Judge Ward on 2 pended sentence, when Mar! mn agreed to help pay for the expense incurred by reason of his having shot 16-year-old Austin Chestnut in the leg last Hallowe'en, the leg hav- ing to be amputated. Judge Ward had made two remands previous to ajlow Martin to help pay the med- ical bills ingurred by young Chest+ nut's father, who was put to about In court Wednés- $1,000 expense, day as neither Martin nor his fathe; had done anything since the last por A journment a month ago, Judge Ward asked them what they intended to do and Martin's father refused to do anything. Judge Ward was very se- vere in his remarks to hoth Martin and his father, E. Martin, through counsel, claim- ad he was tubercular, and unable to Judge work, and had no money, Ward said Martin's father had a car, and it looked as if he would rather allow his son to go to gaol than help pay for the damages to the boy. If he had the power to make him sell the car he would, He had given them two adjournments to help Chestnut, but they had done noth. ing. For a man convicted of so se- rious an offence his conduct was ab- solutely inexcusable. They showed no disposition to help. Neighbors had raised $500 towgras helping the Hov. but the Martins refused to give anything, and cnly when put under pressure did they agree. to give $735. An adjournment of 10 minutes was allowed to see what would he done, after which time it was announced that Martin agreed to make further payments, Judge Ward told him if he did not live up to his agreement he would be brought up before him and sentenced as he was not con- vinced that artin was suffering from tuberculosis.
