With the council chambers crowd
ed to capacity by the gathered
business men and tax payors, the
city council last night considered
the purchase of a fire truck for the
protection of the city property. The
matter was first brought up by a
recommendation for the best protec
tion of the business and residence
districts, the purchase of a triple
combination truck.
The report of the fire commls
sioners was then read by the record-
i er- Tho commission reported that
they had carefully considered and
tested the fire apparatus and water
pressure and that the latter was not
sufficient to protect the residence
districts even when small nozzle was
used. The growing population de
served to be considered as they too
would share in the protection af
forded by the proposed truck. Care-
tv Investigation disclosed the fact
that BO per cent of the fires were
subdued by the use of chemicals,
In the other cases, however, pump
ing engines were necessary. They
recommended that a committee of
the council be selected to Inquire
into the apparatus uoed by other
cities and report to the council.
Following the reading of the re-
'ee of the council bofore the matter
was put to a vote. The large num
her of business men present were
asked to express their opinion o
tho matter, many of them respond

believed that In nn expenditure of
so much money that a caroful in

F. H. Churchill stated that in his
opinion tho council should he the
exclusive judges in the matter. They
had Inquired Into tho noeds of the
city nn(i had Investigated the vari

moro familiar with the city's needs,
so should decide without nutting'
the question to a vote of tho people
who wore less versed on tho sub

J. F. Barker said that although he
was not familiar with the subjoct he

B. W. Strong held in his opinion
that the council was fully compe

should make a caroful Investigation
oerore spending several thousand
dollnrs for apparatus. The water
mains in many places he did not
think adequate to the requirements
of a big truck and this fact should
be taken into consideration.

with the details of a fire truck
business, from the viewpoint of a
taxpayer, believed that the amount

the recommencing of the high school
studies which have been discontinu

tracts were maue for the -
which clnsaes will be held, the re
quired number of rooms now having
been obtained. The basements of the .
Methodist, ProBbyterlan and Bantlst
churches have been obtained while
tho Parish house, the Van Houten
house and throe rooms in the new
armory will be used. The old arm
ory in tho Elks' building will be
used as an assembly and study hall.
The dosks have arrived and are
today being put together and fast
ened In place and will be ready for
occupancy In a few days. The books
have heen ordered from Portland,
and unless delayed in shipping will
be In Rosoburg not later than Thurs
day, according to present expecta
tions. With all work well In hand and
progressing rapidly, school will bo
commenced. It Is thought, not later
than Monday, while a fow of the
classes may possibly bo called for tho
latter part of this week, althoueh
this Is doubtful.
No new plans havo as yet boon
considered by the school board for a

be taken up by them at tho next
mooting. Several offers havo boen
ninilo to them for the purchase of a
new location and It Is possible that
this matter will be put up to tho
