Fire Concerns

GIVE CREDIT WHERE DUE.

            The provincial government appropriation of $200 for the Kaslo fire department in 1894 had been allowed to lapse.  But, seeing the need of a well-equipped fire department, Mayor John Keen wrote for both the present year’s appropriation of $200 and also for the $200 which had lapsed, and after much difficulty succeeded in having both amounts placed to the city’s credit.

ERECTION OF BRICK CHIMNEYS.

            The following resolution was passed by the Municipal Council of the City of Kaslo on Saturday, July 6^th, 1895:

            That in consequence of there being no bricks in the town at present, and the fact that there will be an ample supply of home made bricks in a few days, be it resolved that the time specified in the Fire By-Law be extended for the compulsory erection of brick chimneys until the 15^th day of August, 1895.
