Tlere was a deputation presâ€" ent from the Volunteer Fire Brigade asking for an increase in the amount paid by the Council to the volunteer fire-hghters The Brigade now gets only $500 a year for the services rendâ€" ered, and it was thought that twice this amount would be little enough for the work done and the interest taken. ‘There is hardly a volunteer fireman who has not lost more in damaged clothing at one fire than reâ€" ceived for the whole year. _ ‘The Council expressed its appreciation of the work of the Brigade and eventuâ€" ally passed the following resolution : â€"**Moved by Dt.

On motion of Councillors Williams and Brazeau, Mr. Chatrand‘s taxes of $12.81 were orderedrefunded, Mr. Chatrand not having been a resident of Timmins in 1918. Aomong the accounts passed were a cauple more for the Emergeney Hospital. _ They were:â€"J. P. Moâ€" Laughlin, supplies, $27.34; A. Lego, milk, ete., $45.00. All the accounts for the Emergency Hospital are not yet in and so the exact cost has not been determined. Already, however, ‘rccounts hbhave been passed for over $2,000, and the cost of the Emerâ€" weney Hospital is estimated hy some as likely to be between $2500 ; $£3000. The epidemic in Tisdale said to have eost about $10,000, many may think that Timmins 1s caping lightly with oneâ€"third of t amount. The Council adjourne the call of the Mayor.

At ten minutes to three on Saturday | morning Mr. J. K. Moore telephoned in an alarm of fire and in a very few minutes the fire brigade was on the scene ready for action. The fire was in the big boarding house of Mrs. A. Mackie, at 68 Third Avenue, nvxti door to Mr. Alf. Luxton‘s house. As the fire looked like a very serious one, the first action of the Fire Cluet unl arrival at the seene was to turn in .ll]’ alarm from Box 31, so that the volunâ€" teer firemen in general would have notice. Soon there were a dozen or more firemen at work and the general opinion is that they gave unsually effective and skilled service. At first appearance it seemed that not only was the boarding house doomed but there was also serious danger for the adloining houses. . The good work the Lu emen, howey er, soon altered Hnsf situation, and not only was there no. damage to the adjacent houses, but. the boarding house itself was saved, though damaged inside by the fire.. With two lines of hose going in reâ€" cord time, and exceellent water pressâ€" ure, the Firemen handled the threatâ€" ening blaze in â€" firstâ€"class _ manner, though it was two good hours howâ€" ever, before the bell gave the signal that all was well lgtun Apparently. the fire started in the basement and made its way up through the first and second storeys. It had a good start before it was disâ€" eovered. Mrs. Mackie‘s husbhand died isnmc weeks ago from Influenza and there had also been some other lnâ€" Huenza cases in the house, and for some days before the fire the house had not bheen occupied, bhut had been fumigatedâ€"ready for reâ€"oceupation, A fire had been kept burning in the Ilmuse during the night to keep the chill off the plaee and the blaze may have been occasioned from this cause, or perhaps from a defective. electric ligcht wire in the basement. There had been a fall of snow during the night and the‘ absence. of . tracks near. the house showed that no one had been near the place for some hours at least. The damage is estimated at aâ€" bout $1000, with insurance on the house and contents totalling $1500. The house is a big irame strueture with twelve hedrooms. It is said to llm\'e recently been purchased _ for t($2800.00,.
