ance that the city would have definite

Discuss Fire Department
Chief of the fire department. Dr.
O. Sandin, reported some ten fires
over a period of several weeks and
which included a number of weed
and brush fires that the department
had been called out for.
The subject of fires brought on an
extended discussion of matters of the
fire department, Mayor Lushlnsky
urging that the siren be sounded as
soon as the fire truck starts out on a
call and be kept going so that other
traffic could clear the way. Council
man Vincent stated that the firemen
had complained of spectators at the
fires getting in the way and parking
cars so that the truck had a hard
time in reaching the scene of a fire.
Councilman Schutz also urged that
other traffic give way to the fire
fighting apparatus. He also urged
that matches and cigarettes be taken
awav from prisoners at the city jail
in the future as a mattress was
burned a few nights ago by a pris
oner. Police Judge C. L. Graves reported
one arrest for the week of July 30th
and three for the week of August
4th.

Chairman Rebal of the judiciary
committee asked further time on the

j Chairman Comstock of the light
ing committee called the attention
of the council to the new light at the
foot of the stairs leading to the coun
cil chamber and which has long been
needed.
In the line of WPA work Mayor
j Lushinsky called attention to the
jfact that the Lincoln avenue project
was getting along very well altho
there had been a few break downs
I that had held up the work. He re-
j ported that the cemetery project was
now getting under way and also that
the tennis courts were getting in
shape.

tention of the counril to the need of

winter program was also provided.
Mr. Devoe stated that it was desired
that these activities be placed on a
definite basis by the government and
that sponsors would be asked to
make definite what they might offer
in support of the project. In the
event of the assurance the govern
ment stood ready to appropriate $5,
000 in labor for the work. Mr. Devoe
suggested that the city pledge 1 10
per month for the Recreation Cen
ter as a cash contribution and which
would give them $120 a year, which
with county aid and the use of city
buildings would make it very easy to
carry on the work. On motion of
Councilman Vincent the sum of 510
per month was pledged by the city
for the Recreation Center.
On motion of Councilman Webb,
the new tennis courts on the Eper
son lots were placed under the direc
tion of the Recreation Center and
also it was voted to see that the NYA
was continued in constructing horse
shoe and croquet courts on other
city owned lots.
