TIMARU.
March 16
The Fire Brigade, being unable to get their books from the Borough Council, disbanded in a body after voting their library to hospital, their torches to the Artillery Band, and their sick and accident fund to the trustees. Yesterday an express, manned by an ex-fire-man, went to the station for the books, but the Council's propertyman was instructed by the Mayor to refuse delivery. On jjoing to the bank to draw their money the Mayor again stood in the way, and their cheque was returned marked "drawer's right disputed." Last evening it was resolved to take lecal proceedings against the Mayor, and forward full particulars ot the disbanding to the Fire Brigade Association.
