Keogh was elected to the chair. The
petition and call were read by the
clerk. E. H. Gumbart.
Leo Davis explained how the build-
ing matter came to be taken up and re-
qucsted George Robinson, one of the
fire department committee, to tell of
the plains of the proposed new build-
ing. Mr. Robinson cxplaiucd that the
proposed new building was to be of
brick, the lower floor to be unfinished.
and the upper floor to be latheil and
plastercd. lie further stated that the
figures submitted show that the build
,ing would cost a trifle over $4,700. and
that a WOOIIPII building would cost on—
ly ninety-fire dollars less than brick.
These figures covered the plumbing.

Mr. Davis also understood that It
was Intended to build upon a lot to
bc piirchascd upon inn Zandt avenue.
and not um: the lot gchu the district
by like town for flrc purposes. As the
lot in view would cost $300. he moved
that the district authorize the fire dis-
trict committee to expend the sum of
$300 for a new lot.
William Warden wanted to know the
sense of purchasing a lot before it was
known that. a house was to be built.
Mr. Davis: I simply want to facili-
tate matters. and got at. how much the
district is willing to appropriate. Nev~
urihclcss I will Incorporate in my mo-
tion. “provided the district shall vote
to build a house."
licnry Hoyt: It seems to me that this
Is putting the cart before the horsc,

vor signify by saying “nyc;" opposed.
“no."
The chair ruled that the ayes had
won.
At this point tellers were appointed
to collect ballots and an inspector to
supcrlntcnd the counts.
Mr. Davis: Mr. Chairman and gen-
ilcmcn. I am sure flint I do not want
to stay here all night. and I do not
bclicrc that the rest of you do either.
If there Is no objections from Mr. Ray.

ondcd my motion. I will withdraw mv

the building of the house. taking the
bull by the horns and get immediately

Mr. Raymond: That Is what we
wanted In the first place.
Mr. Davis: You don't. always get
what you want. Mr. Raymond.
Mr. Raymond: No, but we are going
to try to.
Mr. Davis: Imovc that the district
committee or such a committee as this
meeting shall select. shall be empower-
cd to expend the sum of $5.100 In the
erection of a building and the pur-
chasing of a lot suitable for such build-
