The members of the two fire companies, Hook & Ladder and Fountains, have appointed a com mittee to meet with the citycoun cil in regard to the furnishing of a room where they may enjoy a social hour at the close of the business sessions of the firemen's meetii gs. Although it will cost several hundred dollars to re furnish the room to have it pre sentable, the firemen of this city have saved many a hundred dol lars by fighting llres without any pay, and there is no doubt but that the lire laddies petition will be favorably received. Many of tho firemen of Oregon City have been fighting fires here for the past 20 years, while some have rendered their valuable ser vice even longer, and there is no doubt but that that they should have comfortable quarters for their meetings, and a place where they may read if they desire. It is the wish of most of the firemen to also have a reading room in connections Mayor Dimick Entertains.
