lessness In allowing persons to drive over

said to have fallen into disuSe, and to be
violated with ~impuniry. Worse than all
II Ia claimed that on some OCCASIONS hose
carts themselves have iun over lines OF
hose laid for a fire. If such abuse exists
1t should be corrected without delay. A
heavy wheel, or a sharp shod horse. is IL
able to cut a section of hose so as to rem
der II almost worthless, and proving quite
a serious loss.
