may be taken and subsidiary acts passed

There will be a meeting of the city coun-
ell tonight. At that meeting the extension
of the fire limits should be taken up, as We
J understand that buildings will be erected OF
North Main street of wood, whereas, if thu
fire limit extended there, would be built o
brick in preference. The council should d.
all in its power to further the interests o
the city, and in no way can they do it bette
. than by having greater security agains
fire. The matter is deserving of thought
and a move in that direction will meet tn
! appreciation of the taxpayers.

the demand cannot fail in being largely il
excess Of the supply.
