FIRE CHIEF

Fire Chief: GA. Gardner, head
of.the. Sidney ‘and ‘North ‘Saanich

ed ‘satisfactorily ° questions ‘put to
‘him by the supervisory fire commit- |
tee with regard -to the state of read-

‘Councillor D.° R. Cook, . chairman
of ‘the: joint :fire committee of Sid-
ney and North Saanich, made these
contentions at a meeting of North
Saanich council on Monday evening.
No reference was: made to the resig-
nation of the fire chief.

Following’ is the text ‘of the pre-
pared statement Ba by Councillor
Cook:
