Rain: Through The: Nose?'
Cost :of fire protection for rural mun-
icipalities isalwaysa subject of discussion. '
The matter' was skimmed over again pub-
licly at the annual .'meeting cif `, the West
Wawanosh FireInsurance;' . Company on
Friday. Part :of the discussion centred.
around the fact that . many rural municipal

urban municipalities in regard to fire. equip-
During the discussion along these lines
the comment was, .made, "because Ashfield.
and West Wawanosh Townships have no
capital expenditure in equipment, they are
paying .through , the nose forfire .protec-
tion". We :think. notl
