They , ashed assistance of the council in that some means of getting the fire engine to and from fires, nud th a t the old company be disorganized and a cer tain number of regulars •he employed, a t a certain rate per fire. The cause they claim for the above action is that those who have to work puti the road tax refuse to give assistance during ■». fire. The committee werejleqitested to draw up sOine form of request with the probable cost that would be attached and present it a t the next meeting. The term's o f Perry Briton and Dr. J .
