Abe.t Fires,

The season is 1t hand when 6res are neces-
sary, and when special precautions should be
adopted to guard against the dangers result
ing from accidents or carelessness.
Every owner or occupant Of dwelling
store, shop or factory should carefully ex-
smine bis fuss and pipes; and the City
Council should cause thorough inspection
Of pipes and fues, BY = competent person
appointed specially for that duty.
We once had Fire Inspector and Stove
pipe Ordinance, but both Il believe) have be-
come obsolete. 1t ia much easier and cheap.
Or 70 prevent 6res than to extinguish them,
Or meet the losses and damage they occasion.
Keokuk has recently experienced several
Losses from the dangerous element, and our
neighborins city Of OttumwA has been a.
most asnihilated BY it.
Experience il stern, and oftsn very cost
" teacher, and if ws are wise No will profit
BY the losses we have had and not Wal. for
more and vorse ones.
Our city is growing rapidly, and the build.
ings that are going up are generally Of the
best class. This increase Of growth require.
an increase of caution to prevent fires and an
increase Of facilities to extinguish them.
Our 6remen are as noble, brave and self.
sacrificing body of men Is can be found in any
city Of the size Of Keokuk, but they cannot
work without tools. They need another
engine. moro hose, more cisterns and bet.

would reflect the earnest wishes Of their con.
stisasnts, If they would appropriate The flnds

6rs department. II ) special TAR Be necessa-
= to edecsthis object, then let ) special tax
Be lsvisd, snd the tax payers will chserfully
respoud. . thsy know that true economy

ASS means Of prscaution, our s46re limits
shoald Be considerably e0larged- A few
years ago the 6rs limits were very unwisely
reduced % though our city was declining.
Nov it il expanding raridly and It's growth
should not b endangered By permitting
frame bulldogs, lumber yards or dangerous
factories 70 occupy central localities. A
little timsly legislation looking TO the pre-
vsRtios Of 6fss may save our citizens from
heavy losses, and they look to their repre-
sentativss to adopt vigorous measures of
prevention and cure bsfore it be too late.
