Ba~The necessity for better fire protec-
!. ton should claim the early attention of the
council and some plan be adopted for pro-
viding better facilities for obtaining water
' in case of fire. AT present there is nc
place to land an engine west of Rndmau
avenue, and as some of our most import
ant manufacturing interests lie in that por
T ton Of the city, a suitable place should be
e provided for that place. The opening o
l. Division street would afford the necessary
II relief and enable iremen to procure wat;
e more readily than would be the case if
If fire should occur under existing circum
h stances. This question is one that shoult
d be fully considered and plan adopted a
l, once for better fire protection.
