CHARLOTTETOWN

-Summerslds firemen held their annual meeting last night at which meetings it has been customary to elect or reelect the chief of the department along with the other company officers. for the coming year. No such election was held last night. When the order of business for election came up. a lengthy dis- cussion came up as to whether the department now has the authority to recommend for ap- pointment its own officers. The present existing by-laws state that at the annual meeting held in January such officers shall be elected or approved but it was the consensus of opinion at last night's meeting that due to the fact that the Town Council had not accepted the recommend- ations made at the annual meet- ing last year, that the existing by laws, which gives the depart- ment power to recommend the ap- pointment of these officers, were now obsolete.

It was therefore moved by Herb Schurman and seconded by Albert Leaxfd that in committee be ap- pointed to interview the incoming fire committee of the Town Council to draw up new by laws. re the election of fire chief and company officers: the clauses of pay as they now exist; the un- satisfactory alarm system and various other matters which the department wishes to have ironed out.

Herb Schurman was appointed chairman of this rnmmillee and acting with him will he Chief Arsenault. Eddie Arscnnuli. Art Ccrney, Jerry Doucette. Len Wood:
