The regular meeting of the City Council was held at 8 o'clock last night in the Council Chamber, His Worship Mayor Miller presiding. The minutes of the previous meet- ing were read and, on motion ap- proved as amended, some little dis- cusslon arising relative to the change in a tender from Mr. Mur- dock Ross, tailor, for policemens ovcrcoats. Two samples of cloth had been submitted, one to cost $43.50 and the other $45.00. The committee had at. first favored the, less costly cloth, but had later de-' clded to take the better. fhrough some error, the price had been put in as $45.50. This was corrected.

The minutes of a special meeting were also read and one of the trans- actions which had been authorized at this special meeting was the pur- chase of the new city snow plow at $450.00. Another was the voting of $6,000.00 for supplies. etc. during the coming year of 1928.

The bills for the month were then read. and it was moved and second- ed that they be paid. It was also moved, seconded and passed that the payment of the bills which had been paid by the finance‘ committee should be confirmed.

At 12.05 " o'clock this morning an alarm was rung in for a fire in the building which was former-l ly Harper's wood working factory! located on Fitzroy Street near the- Central Creameries. l

The building is now the propel», ty of Mr. Charles Coles. who also, has used it for manufacturing door frames, window sashes, etc, em-l p ying a small gasoline engine as, motive power for the purpose. The fire was discovered by Mr. Harry Hooper, who resides next‘ door to the building. He was just on the point of retiring when hel heard a. crackling sound. and, on, looking out of his window saw the, flames lighting up the windows ofi the factory. He at once turned ini. the alarm, and thefiremen, arrlv-i ing promptly. soon had three!‘ streams of water directed on the blaze. The fire was confined to the in- terior of the building, and was,‘ never at any time out of control.| It is st the moment of writing (1.00 a. m.) practically extinguish- ed ’

The damage is considerable, just how great ls not possible to state at present. It is, understood that these is no insurance. The origin of the fire is not known.
