Concerning The Fire Department.
Editor of the Republican:
The members Of the Fire Depart.
ment thank you for the hattering
notice you were pleased to give them,
for their rapid, and effective work Ut
the late fire. Such favorable CON-
ments upon their efforts to extinquish
fires have been so rare, that they
come like the timely water on an
incipient fire, and are; therefore,
entitled to special notice.
The Plymouth Fire Department
was never in better working order
than now, and IL the City Council
will but give us good water facilities
and plenty OF them, there will be lit
tie cause to censure Firemen or find
ault with the Department We want
more >cisterns in convenient places.
} We want suitable platforms on the
banks of the river, SO that the engine
need not be run down steep sandy
banks into the mud, so that the
brakes on the engine can be filled
with men from end to end without
{ standing In the water to work them.
, Such improvements might be made
with but little expense 10 the City,
; while they would greatly enhance
|, the working power OF the Fire De-
, partment.
, The Adriatic engine is one of the
most powerful hand engines manu-
featured. give it plenty OF water and
power and it will throw more water
than six thousand dollar steamer
