DO AVE WANT BETTER FIRE PILO-
'1'Eel] ON1
Y,s1 And don't forget that the
.voting on the by-law to raise the sum
of $22,000 for this purpose will take
place on Friday August 20th.
Foi many years the matter of bet-
ter tire protection has been agitated,
but it has been put oft from time to
time until now, we have the oppor-
tunity of securing it. Early in t be
year the matter was brought tip by
the council, and they in turn called
a public meeting to get the voice of
the ratepayers on the project. Those
who were at rhe meeting, and it was
largely attended, will remember the
unanimous spirit for better protec-
tion that prevailed. A resolution
was passed instructing the council to
go ahead with the matter and the
services of an expert were secured toi
give an estimate of the cost, etc.
The report of the expert was re-
ceived by the council, who trimmed
his figures considerably, until the
amount of $22,000 was decided upon.
This amount will be sufficient to
purchase the Howard property at the
rivet re -construct the dant, erect n
it. tt: ter totter. or stand pipe and
lay tJc mains along Main Street and
in the end give us the protection we
hart been agitating for.
Fortunately we have not had a ser-
ious conflagration in years, and we
don't want one. The engine at the
Town Hall is n good one, but should
.t serious fire occur, tnuch damage
would be done before steam could be
gotten up. With the stand pipe this
would 1 c averted. stater could be
thro,.n in n very few minutes and
mutt property saved.
The establishing of the water
works system is not the only matter
to be considered; we would have a
place for recreation, where the boys
could go swimming or boat'ng and
the revenue received from the ice
would be no small amount.
Or Friday August 20th will be our
:'a n opportunity so do not fail to
get .ut and work for the by-law.
