A petition Signed by 1538 citizens of the town asked council to retain the services of Fire Chief Borland for the following reasonsrâ€"The fire chief has given over seventeen years of the most efficient ’ service; the brigade has achieved and maintained a notable de- gree of efiiciency and good service; the people in general have complete con- fidence in the efficiency of the fire chief ; the chief has been a most valu- ed citizen of the town; and the record proves that the fire losses in ’I‘immins are the lowest of any similarly situated town in the Dominion. President Neame of the Canadian Legion said that the Legion was tak- ing a deep interest in the matter be- fore the fiounbil" because it concerned one of their comrades, one of the old- est members of the Timmins branch of the Legion, indeed. one of the old- est soldiers in the camp. Mr. Neame Another letter along similar lines was received from the Temlskaming Fire- men's Association, who also valued Fire Chief ‘Borland very highly for his efficiency as a fire chief and his splen- did qualities as a citizen. speaking of his emclency and leader ship. his good citizenship and the har many at the fire hall. The letter wa signed by all the volunteers. Thor was a letter along similar lines fror H. B specter duty 0! councll to reopect the wishes of a large group of cltleens comlng before them.
