This latest fire was an. other instance where a pumper ngtttt or chemicale Would undoubtedly have saved the home had either been on the scene in time. The' Howiak Mutual Fire insnra.nce Company has an agreement with all the neighboring town fire Uri- g'ades to come to the assistance of - the Company's policy -holders in this area, when notified officially to do so, Unfortunately, in the case of Mr. Graliam's• house in Hewick, there appears to have been a misunder- standing when the alarm was fast 'phoned in and a considerable delay ensued before WIngham was notified. That delay probably meant the difference between saving the home or, ELS occurred, its destruction, But why sb:ould- a municipality with the population of Howick, with tlu•ee villages within its borders, have to depend on towns 15 or 20 Miles distant for assistance every time -fire threatens? The cost of an up-to-date motor equipment such as that of Listowel or W3ngham would to the indi- ..`S aro . tv ban^sty victual ratepayer, over a period of a few years. A reductton in lnsurauce rates, in the villages at least, should far , exceed any temporary increase in taxation. True, there would be times in winter when the equipment might not be able to negotiate un- plowed roads, but could not the assessment be equitably adjusted in Lever sof those ratepayers to whom the fire -fighting roflp'ar0tus mligbt not - be available the year round. This and other problems would be comparatively easy' ' to settle, we believe, if the Township Council would'give the taxpayers the oppor- tunity to sauetlon purchase for the municipality of a dependable equip- ment.
