July 6th was the date set for the opening of bids, and the rpeci.il water committee was instructed to immediately employ a qualifi'-'d en gineer to complete the details of the proposed improvement thut will give Vale a first class water sys tem. The matter of allowing the sale and use of firecrackers on July fourth was discussed, but the Council did not believe that it was gooa policy to repeal the existing ordin ance forbidding the practice, and de e'ded to leave the regulations in force. It was pointed out that the fire hazard was too great to chance at that season of the year. The resolution of the farent-Teach er Association and the Chamber of Commerce regarding the illegal sale of cigarettes and tobacco to minors was presented and a resolution pass ed notifying all tobacco dealers to observe the city ordinance and the state law forbidding the sale of cig arettes to minors under 21 years and tobacco in any form to minors unde 18 years. Fire Destroys Depot A fire of unknown origin entirely destroyed the passtngcr and freight depot at Fruitland, Sunday evening, tho total loss of th" building alone amounting to $2,000.00. The contents and equipment have not been valued vet. nor the dnmaee done to nearby buildings. The blaze was discovered about nine o'clock and a call for help was sent in to the fire departments of Payette and Ontario. The chem ical truck was immediately rushed to the scene from the latter city by Fire Chief Louis Kroessin but noth ing could be done to save the depot. Several barrels of oil had been left sitting on the depot platform and of course agninr.t this added fuel, the efforts of the firemen against the blaze were futile. By hard work, however, the nearby fruit warehouse, much larger and costlier building than the other was saved. BURNS CONVENTION OF.
