TOWER
UNSAFE
There
was
less
enthusiasm!
than
ever
on
the
part
of
the
I
firemen
about
ringing
the
curfew
when
a
five-pound
cord
weight
fell
from
the
tower
one
night
and
bounced

The

about

In

they
were
told
that

was

Not

the

the

rested.
The

has
remained
silent
since.
However,
its
weight
atop
the
decaying
bell
tower
continued
to
be
a
problem
until
the
matter
came
before
the
attention
of
city
council
a
couple
of
months
ago.
Posed
with
the
alternative
of
building
a
new
fire
hall
or
repairing
the
old
one,
the
aldermen
decided
on
the
latter
course
and
the
bell
was
marked
for
re
moval
day
and
it
would
take
a
real
enthusiast
to
squeeze
even
the
slightest
grandeur
out
of
the
event.
The
best
that
could
be
done
would
be
to
take
note
that
the
Army
was
called
In
to
officiate
at
its
removal.
An
army
signals
truck
with
a
winch
lowered
the
bell
Into
a
city
truck
and
It
was
carted
off
into
oblivion.
Except
that
Tt
clattered
out
warnings
of
certain
spectacu
lar
fires,
the
hbtory
oi
inc
bell
is
practically
unknown.
Alderman
Arthur
Urooksbank,
who
became
the
lily's
first
purchasing
agent
early
In
1911,
cannot
recall
its
origin,
but
he
believes
thai
it
was
foundered
in
a
Vancouver
brats
works.
Pollc
Magistrate
Walter
Vance,
who
at
that
time
was
clerk
of
the
City's
Treasurer's
office,
also
is
hazy
about
the
origin
of
the
bell.
Sheriff
M.
M.
Stephens
cannot
recall
the
actual
installation
of
the
bell
but
he
remembers
that
the
city's
original
full-time
fire
chief
was
a
portly
gentleman
from
Slocan
named
Mcln'nes.
Mr.
Mclnnes'
dimensions,
he
indicated,
were
somewhat
similar
to
those
of
the
bell.
However.
Sheriff
Stephens
did
remember
that
he
had
been
the
city's
first
fire
chief,
before
incorporation.
He
commanded
a
bucket
brigade
that
was
organ

in
1908.
