body who visited that neighi rh ’ i expressed it.

the fire were . s: -,-ished that the ity had f - far
neglected to erect a fire station along there, and, from
a casual observer's pots* f view, the evidence f

help to control, or at least cheek the - - cling of fire
The nearest fire apparatus to that locality i* .'.t the eity
hall, nearly a quarter of a nsile away. Had the fire
started in the middle f a stormy night, the chances
are that other fcuillings would have gone up in smoke.
The nominal sum that it wonld take to install some
kind of lire apparatus in such a place, is t : small to
be considered a serious ob eti n, and step- s' ’ be
taken to that end,
