IA nat think there is a town Of its size
n. country. SO little prepared as Daven.
an have fire. In fact we are not pre-
nd \, all,--not the first commencement
..,d, /. preparation. Not only have We
.os;ue. bot there Is no organisation Of
hind. The consequence is that when
e. h,csks out there can be no well-di-
.,sd efor, made for its suppression. II
m, to be presumed that Davenport will
x.ys form al exception to the fate which
bef.llen other places, and il is easy TO
,rne the CONSERVATION which would pre-

nation ali efforts to stop it would be use

nsre combusible matter. There are
ea,s Of men among US who are willing to
N company, and we are assured that
the Council! would take steps towards
,ting an engine, an efficient company
buid soon be organized. We respectfully
bait the matter to the consideration of
City Fathers.

We learn from the Postmaster that
