Fire Board.

On Thursday next the first meeting of the Feilding Fire Board will be held, when the first business will be the election of chairman. As the Chairman will have both a deliberate and a casting vote, whoever is chosen will be able to hold the balance of power, a very important thing in connection with the work of the Board. In this connection we notice that in Dunedin the Mayor has resigned his position on the Board on the ground that a representative of the Insurance Companies has been elected Chairman. After a Chairman has been chosen the most important business will be to prepare estimates of expenditure for the year, as these must be in the hands of the Government before the end of this month. Then there are the by-laws to draft and numerous other matters of detail to arrange, so that the members will pretty well have their hands full for some little time. It is to be /hoped that the deliberations of the Board will be in the direction of an improvement of the existing state of affairs, and that the Brigade equipment will be dealt with in no niggardly spirit.
