The presence in our village for several
days past, of Mr.. N. B. Sadler, agent of
the Silsby steam fire-engine manufac-
turing Company of Seneca Falls, n. Y,
has had the effect to reopen among our
citizens general discussion of the en-
gine question in all its bearings. We re-
gret to say that the diversity of opinion
among them as to the kind of machine
we should have still exists, and that
there is not the remotest prospect of
their coming to an early agreement
about it. In regard to the matter, the
Council seem desirous of doing the best
thing possible under the circumstances,
and naturally enough are slow to act in
the premises, while there is such clam
or against this, or that, or the other ma
chine. Mr.. Sadler, undoubtedly repre-
sents good machine, but the question
with are our citizens is, will not a hand
engine, costing less money than a steam
er, answer the purpose equally as well.
All agree that we ought have some kind
of machine, and all express prefer
ence for good one. As we understand
it, Mr.. Sadler offers to put a steam hand
engine here for something like forty-five
hundred dollars, on seven years. time at
per cent, and guarantees it do just
what he says it will do. This engine it
is claimed, will throw at the same time
two streams of water considerably higher
than any building in the place; is easily
handled, and readily understood" We
are informed that a hand-power engine
will cost about twenty-five hundred dol
lars, and that the terms for the same are
cash down.
The Council will take action upon the
question ON Monday evening next, and
we trust that they will have sufficiently
"made up their minds" by that time to
decide it permanently.
