The city government started a programme of protection against fire and for the care of wounded in case of bombing. One meeting was held and committees were set to work to investigate all sorts of things as preporation against possible eventualities.
No second meeting has been called, but the two hospitals the Presb; terian Mission and the city's new hospital have been asked to make room for extra beds in case of need, and also let it be known what supplies might be needed. In case fire. squads are to be called from every school, shop and institution. Hand pumps, ladders, picks and shovels are to be procured and kept ready for use.
