Oifers of advice fo r spending money do no t always have to be solicited. I witnessed the slowness in which the fire anparatus was taken to fires several days ago. Our steamer miirht he a little out of date compared with motor enuipment in the citv hut from advice a t hand wo learn that it is in good condition. It would be impossible to trade it in on other enuipment and realise any­ t h in g like the value we should ,have for it. As a suggestion whv cannot Icouncil provide about a 40 H, P. two !ton truck to haul the steamer to fires. A low geared truck of this power would take the engine any place a team could pull it, Again the truck could -he used for street repair thus saving several hundred dollars in the course of a few years. The truck could be_ housed- with the other en­ gine equipment and being in a warm room would be always ready. It Tooks 'ike a business proposition.

For several years local people gave a public sub­ scription to the Dr. to keep him there ! t h a t . the school might attract hun­ dreds of students'. Instead, the Dr. entered politics and rather than give up a job' th a t pays $7,500 he has resigned the presidency.
