Fire Comuanv.

IL has been . matter Of some surprise to
persons visiting our town, to find that with
such . population, and so many large business
houses, we have no organized fire company
This 10 true, aud heretofore but little necessity
existed for such & company, but now the town
and especially the public squire Il building up
so rapidly, that in case OF a fire, IL there Was
any wind blowing at the time, It would be al
most impossible to save a sirglc building. The
houses are mostly frame buildings, and in the
present state OF " water facilities" should q
fire break outin a house on the square, 1t could
not DO put out before the buildings near It
would be ignited. How long would It take TO
bring water enough from the river, or draw it
from thu wells snatss sss.xtinguish q
considerable fire when the wind Is blowing,
even with, the whole available force of the
town c%mployeds We know there arc some who
think that there is no necessity for any such
thing, and because we never have Lost much
by fire, that wc never will. II is possible that
wo may never need an engine, but VIC should
prepare for emergencies. It is 4 trits. snd true
saying, 'in peace prepare for war. We could
lose nothing by being ready fbr. cvsry calsfni
~, and really the cost OF nv engine and liz
appurtenanccs is so inconsiderable thatft can
scarcely be urged as much OF an objection to
the formation Of a frc company. We hope
those who would be most benefited thereby,
will reflection tllis thing without carrying on,
in their practice tho old saying that {" what is
cvcrybody'sh business Is nobody's business"
