We regret to say that a few of our cit
izens labor under the singular delusion
that 6:e engine in the possession of the
Corporation would endanger rather than
in a measure protect property from the
ravages of fire. As the average citizen
may not understand how this could be,
we may add that the logic which leads
to this conclusion is about like this:-
Should a fire break out, people will
depend too much upon the engine and
make no effort to extinguish it. So by
the time the engine gets upon the ground,
the fire will have gained such headway
as to defy the engine; whereas, if we
have no engine, each individual citizen
will feel it duty incumbent upon him
self TO do his level best, from the jump,
when an emergency arises, and thus, ow-
kng to perpetual vigilance neccssitated
roy kowledge of great weakness, fires
will be nipped in the bud.
1t may be that this kind of policy is
sound, and that it will meet ourrequire-
aaents in the future, which it didn't do
in the past-but we confess that we are
entirely too near-sighted to see it. We
do not believe that the people would be
any the less inclined to work for the
suppression Of a FIRE because they had 9
potent auxiliary than they now have
that they do not have it.
Ifthe village ought to have anything
it ought to have good engine of some
kind. 1t may never need it, and we hops
il never will, but there is no reason fo
believing that Somerset is to be singled
out from all other towns and villages q
a special habitation which is to be abso
lutely exempt from destructive confla
grations. And we wouldn't be surprised
should the policy to make no provision
against them prevail, if the brethrel
should wake up some morning to a real
ization of the delusion they have bee
nursing. Stranger things than this ar
happening every day.
