would all be burned, if one should burn.
We can provide pals, ladders and means
to tear down building if nothing more,
and these simple and almost expensive
things might save thousands of dollars.
Of course good fire engine would be
desirable and ought to be produced at
once. We suggest other means by run
ming good iron main pipe from the
lower end of the village to the pond,
and running smaller pipes to this. A
sufficient amount of water and sufficient
head would be given, so that hydrants
and hose, would be all the engines need
ed for fires occurring in the lower end of
the village. By this means a double
purpose could be served, as nearly the
whole village could be supplied with
soft pure water. By taking water from
the May or Salisbury brooks, and build
ing a reservoir on some of the high land
east of the village, perhaps near H. S.
Flanders buildings, water and a head
could be had that would drown any fire
in the whole village, this with pipes and
hose would be too expensive for the pres.
ent but would be the best means that
could be provided to protect US from fire.
We take the following from the Chi
cage Evening Journal. The person re.
ferred to was a brother of Captain R
H. Little, of this village:
