A sjjeclal Joint meeting of the Fire Council and Bc.ird of Trustees was arranged for 4.:;0 o'clock in the after¬ noon, at which t'nu. the tests were to have been made Jlut everybody was early as though at a circus and so the show began hi 4.15. The I ruck was driven from the house on Church street to Olive BoultMiird and l-<ong iieach avenue via .Main streel aud Brooklyn av -nue in precisely ItO sec- ond.s,
Fol'owing this satisfaciory c,<perl- iiienl the P'iie Council went into ses¬ sion and the detailti of the new appar¬ atus Were discussed at more or lesR leni:ili and then the members of the otlji.'al faiiillv oi the villaf..,e and flre (lepanment prepared lo take an offl- : l.ll lide (Jne ot the guarantees et the Inletnaiitinal Motor Company from whon. the tractor was purclias«'d wae thit it would make twenty mllea an ho'ii without hall trying in a fair ulnd.
