CONSISTENCY IN THE POWERS
THAT RE.
An Evil Demanding Abatement.

The City Fathers sometime since Or
dained and decreed In their august AS
sembiy that the Anger's Foundry, Il
nuisance upon Main STREET, should end
It's existence, aud in pursuance OF their
decree the building was demolished,
and TIE place that once knew IT, now
knows ii no more. But this piece Of
Dallas real estate has only parted com
pany with the old foundry building to
make the acquaintance OF nuis-
ance far more dangerous to the well
fare of our city, and that nuisance is
the wagon yard and the fires kept by
the Transfers on this particular local
ity. Just back of this lot are the Fire
Company's stables filed with hay and
other infla nmable material, which u
spark from these winds swept fires
would easily ignite, and the city's
property would mount heavenward in
flare of light in very short order.
Just east of this lot, nightly lit up
by many fires which scatter their I'M
checked sparks to the four quarters Of
the compass, are a series of huckstcr's
shops in wooden ranges, and next to
these the handsome and costly Lamar
hotel. Should these frame structures
catch fire, such fierce volume Of
flame would sweep against the walls
of this fine building AS to write its
doom hut too sureiy-a sad commenta-
~ on the consistency of our City
fathers in aboIishing one nuisance but
to permit another to assume its place.
But two nights since the property of
one of our most estimahle citizens was
burned to the earth-his homestead
aud If we be not careful that burning
may prove but the prelude to greater,
fiercer and more disastrous conilagra-
tons.
While talking about the loss of DIR.
Campbell's house. we would remark
the necessity of cisterns in that local
ity of our city. The church adjoining
this gentleman's homestead was in the
greatest danger and was only saved by
herculean efforts. Not drop of wa
ter could be had for the use of the en-
gines until the dwelling was total
loss. Engines are costly trinkets to be
purchased by cities, unless means are
afforded whereby they can he of use.
Just as well try to run such institu-
tons without coal or wood, rs to fail
to furnish water.
We all remember the lessons of
Chicago aud Boston, but will we heed,
until some dark night, in the midst of
bitter cold and a sweeping norther,
our city shall be wrapped in fire ? This
burning of homesteads and business
property is not at all amusing to the
owners-far from it, for it sometimes
entails such disaster that the strong
man, even, never RECEIVERS from il.
