This Ordinance also contains a section based on section 24 of the Follee Force Ordinance, 1911, dealing with dismissal and extends the powers of the Governor in Council as to the payment of gratuities which under the prin- ripal Ordinance are limited. to extraordinary services performed in cases of fire.

By the amending Ordinance, Section 3 (1) (b) of the principal Ordinance is repealed and there is substituted therefor the following paragraph:"(b) such gratuities as he may deem fit to members of the Brigade or other persons for extraordinary services performed in cases of fire or in the interests of the Brigade."

Other provisions of the amend- ing Bill are as follows:

6. Every member of the Brigade who (a) is guilty of misconduct as a member of the Brigade; or (b) having engaged to serve in the Brigade 'deserts therefrom; or (c) being permitted to resign, does not, the upon ceasing to belong to Brigade deliver up all Implements, accoutrements and appointments whatsoever entrusted to him fer the performance of his duty, shall on summary conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars, or to imprison- ment for any term not exceeding six months together with forfei ture of pay during such imprison-3 ment.
