FIRE WELLS.
Orangeburg, s. G.

OrnnSeOufS, .. ".
AT4 November I'd, 1871.
Edslor Ordngeb,hy Netcs:
We hear it reported that the Town
Conncilsaresabou to borrow money for
the purpose of building wells or cisterns
in certain portions OF the Town for fire
purposes. Now in the first place it is
dangerous step cither for an individual
or corporation to commence to 6orro,o,
for if the money has to be paid, why
borrow and pay interest for many years
andlhase topay the money in the end?
/ believe cnr citizen. wnnld prefer 10 be
taxed at once aud pay whatever is really
necessary for the welfare of the Town,
than to have debt created which, from
year to year, might grow like the dsbt of
the City of Charleston until it becomes
very gfievous to the people. But will
these cisterns be Of any real public useto
the citizens :. large? The Town covers
an area of a. mile in circumference from
the Court House, and cisterns certainly
cannot be built over all this space, and
in fact, in most places would be useless.
Ju4t around the Court House and the
twqTgNs Of stores on Main street, they
MAJ be useful, but experience has
shown that ia other parts of the Town
fire is generally too much under head
way to save the building on fire before
heavy esgina can be drawn to it
through the sandy streets. So it seems
to Us that the whole Town would be
heavily taxed, only for the benefit of a
few indisiduals, who if they so desire it
can contribute themselves to building
cistern near Their property, without
lcvying on the public ut large. At any
rate We would suggest to our City Fa.
theirs to take the sense of the tax payers
of the Town on the subject, before sad
ding = debt ON their shoulders for this
fu pose. We write these few lines only
FIR the purpose of calling the attention
ot ,he citizens generally to the subject
before action is taken in the matter, and
IL the majority wish the money raised
for the purpose, why let a direct tax,
for the benefit Of "a small locality, be
levied at once, but don't run Us in debt.
r Respectfully &C.,
ae'1 TAX PAYER.
