The first matter to be taken up was in regard to chlorinating the water system. A letter was read from the state board of health in re. gard to the system which was suggest ed at the last regular meeting. The State officials pralsed the system in question very highly and recommend. ed it to a doctor. WA resolution was in- troduced that the system in guestion be adopted and a sum of 31,800 was appropriated for the same. The sani- tary committee reported unfavorably the petition made at the last meeting for a heaith survey to be made in con- Junction with the town officials. inas- much as it had been found that the matter had been taken up by the state legislatare, which has enacted laws governing the subject at hand.

The matter w ous meet the fact that it had not been decided whether or not tive of the LaFrance com- pany was to instruct a man or men in the care and use of the truck. A con- tract was secured and nothing was found in it whereby the company was under any obligations to do this, al- thoush it was stated by the repre- sentative of the LaFrance company before the sale was arranged that this would be done. _Alderman Jenkins made a motion that the fire depart- ment bring in recommendations to a future meeting in regard to the mat- ter suggested by Alderman Graves. Mr. Graves, however, thought that the matter could be disposed of then and there, and made another motion that three hoseme be employed at a salary of $1,000 a year. The motion was not seconded. Alderman Graves stated he had nothing more to say on the matter and told Mayor Dunn he could have his resignation any time he wanted it. The motion that the matter be refer- red for further investigation and rec- ommendation at a special meeting in the near future was the ncarried. Mayor Dunn stated that he thought a personal recommendation from the chairman of the fire department com- mittee was not what was required. Graves then asked why the purchasing committee had not done something about some of the recommendations in the past and stated that he had work- ed about all he was going to under present conditions. He also stated that he was willing to meet the other mem- bers of the fire department committes at any time, but if they could not agree to his recommendation he withdrew. A resolution was passed empowering Corporation Counsel Kelley to_ secuke legal assistance in cases now pending before the superior court against the city. Adjournment was taken about 10.15 -o'clock.
