ALDRIDGE, Mayor of Devonport. speaking at the Devonport Fire Brigade annual social on Saturday, related that he was asked how he was going to get on with the brigade; he replied: “I admit being a bit of a wowser, but both the brigade and myself are interested in the water question; more over I am fascinated always by a bit of hose.” (Laughter.) Later in the evening the Hon. E. W. Alison said that he supposed from the remarks of the mayor that he had aspirations above the mayoralty; “possibly of becoming a knight of the garter.”
