UP-TO-DATE FIRE EQUII'hl EST I'ROP(kqED BY FIRE CHAIRNAil Councillor )Vatt, chairman of the Fire Committee, presented to the council on hionday night an interim report nn changes and additions proposed in the fire department as a result of the recent trip made by him and Reeve Vinson to the Fire Chiefs'onventionin Portland, &vhere they revie&ved the largest exhi- bition of up-to-date fire appara- tus ever assembled on the Pacific Coast. His recommendations &vere: The purchase of one 7o horsepoiver n&itor on a suitable chassis with standard equipment as follows: (a) 1,200 feet of hose suitable to the require- ments of the underwriters, (b) A 600 gallon capacity pump worked from the motor capable of delivering water from our o&vn system or if necessary from salt water or creeks. (c) The latest in ladders. (d) A 40 gal- lon chemical tank with special hose for same, length of hose to be matter of best advice based on experience. 2. Advisability of procuring t&vo motor cycles equipped with hose and line for )Vhytecliff and Caulfeild areas. Such motor cycles would cost in the neigh- borhood of 81,500 pach. The cuts of the equipment pro- posed &vou)d be forthcoming at an early date. Councillor )Vatt stated in his report that the Reeve and him- self had been much interested in a fire hall of bungalow design like one recently erected in Port- land, which provided living quarters and everything com- bined. The approximate estimate of costs were: Cost of combination truck and equipment„87,500; cost of lot for fireball, 81,000; cost of hall for storage, 86,500, making a total of 615,000. The figures might be less or more, but accurate figures would be submitted on the final report. The engagement of a capable mechanic to act as driver was a matter for discussion, he thought, but hIr. Dowling of the Fire Under«Titers should be consulted first, because his opin- ion would be necessary on all of above changes if, as it was hop- ed, the cost of such changes were to be offset to the ratepay- ers by an equal reduction in in- surance rates. It would be necssary to pass a by-law for a sum not exceed- ing say 820,000, which should be submitted to the ratepayers as early as possible in order to have the scheme in operation early in 1928. Copies of the above interim report were handed to the mem- bers of the council. USE YOUR PHONE P ERSONALS The sympathy of the commun- ity will go out tn Mr. and hirs. G.

There was a slight decrease in the num- ber of persons crossing the bridge as compared with the past few Sundays, but the auto- mobile traffic was right up tn the usual figures. The Saturday and Sunday totals combined re- veal that over the past week-end 25,735 persons and 9,820 vehi- cles of all classes crossed the bridge.
