PROTECTION FROM FIRE.-In the htel>
igencer of day is long editorial on
this subject. 1t is stated that if the
Council would pay half the expense
necessary to the establishment of fire
department iu this city the business
men of the city would psy the other
half. It also speaks at length on the
necessity of fire department.
While we thoroughly agree in the ne
cessity of FIRE department still We
doubt if it can be accomplished. A
little over q year ago, some thirty or
forty young men met aud organized a
fire company and appointed committees
to canvass this city for subscription to
buy an engine. They rsesil ed no en-
couragement whatever. Not business
man they saw would subscribe one cent.
Upon this being reported the company
disbanded. We do not think there is
any more chance Of raising the money
now than there was then.
