Canada from tile to the prairies and while the British won the right to rule Canada on the Plains of Abra ham the French were given freedom and equality under the Union Jack FrenchCanadians fought

Councillor Lome Paynter urged council to pass an anti- smoke bylaw at the Newmarket council meeting Monday night Mr said that the by law has been on the agenda for a long time and that it was time to do something about it The bylaw first introduced by Dep utyreeve J Spillette was planned to control the emission of smoke from factory chimneys Mr is away on holi days and Mayor Vale said that nothing should be done about the bylaw until the deputyreeve is at a meeting council decides when and where it will build a new one The Newmarket fire depart ment wants a new fire hall built on the site now occupied by the old and the present fire hall Members of council are not unanimous on whore the new fire hall should be Some favor the firemens idea an other proposal is for the water works property at the south end of Main St A resolution was brought in near the end of the discussion to draw up a bylaw authorizing construction of the new building at Main and Millard but it was withdrawn The mayor suggest ed that the two sites be consid ered before next council meeting and that the committee make a recommendation for hotter site Mr said that he had put forth his motion for the Out demolition in hopes that it would promote some discussion on the fire hall It did Councillor said that there was no doubt that the fire hail would fall down if the cor ner building were removed I suggest that we decide that we are going to build a new build ing this fall before we start Reeve Arthur Evans question ed the proposal to use the pres ent site The firemen want the new building at the present site but is this the place for a fire hall The reason they give is that they can coast the truck down either hill to start it in cold weather I think that idea is years old He said that the present site is in a congested traffic area Town Engineer Bos- worth said that the lot is 53 feet feet It is possible to build a fire hall there but dont think there is enough room for the kind of building we should be putting up He said that a fire hall which would serve the town as it expands in the future should be built Mr Evans favored the water works site There is always someone at the waterworks building day or night and Urals the next best thing to having a full time fireman at the station The new truck is housed there now and it gels to fires faster than the other truck stationed at the top of the hill he said From the waterworks it can swing out north south and west and travel along good paved streets BOY SCOUT SALVAGE There have been rumors of salvage in the name or the Boy Scouts in Newmar ket Scout officials say that the only Boy Scout collections are those taken by the Scouts them selves in full uniform and with their own trucks and that any one claiming to collect
