DANGER FROM FIRE.

The danger of fires at this season
of the year calls for the utmost Wig.
ilgance on the part Of our citizens,
and particularly upon our officials.
Prevention is better than cure, and
in view of the chances of fires being
caused BY defective flues, and i'm.
perfectly built chimneys, it is pro.
per, in fact necessary, that a COM
petent committee should be ap.
poi.ted by the city council to
examine all our buildings both
public and private, and see that all
dues, pipes, and heating apparatus,
ore in proper shape to avoid the
dangers of6re. Stoves ofall kinds
should stand away from walls and
woodwork, and should have zinc
under them so that Goals shall not
set the floors on fire. The com.
m,ttee should be practical men,
men who understand building and
who will examine the buildings
thoroughly, not casually, and not
only see what is necessary but
adopt means to avoid danger.
Among the prevailing causes Of fire
one Of the most dangerous is the
smoke pins nat being properly
connected with the ehiulnsF, the
pipe should fit snugly to the
collar in the chimney. in case It
does not fit, collar should be made
by tinsmi,h to fill the space.
Another cause arises from the
chimney passing through the cell,

timber or joist, the lower part set
