The Nail Cty's Wonderful Immunity
From Fires. !,
But twenty-five Alarms in Eight Months.
The Loss in the CITY Less

WheeEng's immunity from anything like
serious loss by FIRE is something remarkable,
when one takes into consideration the mul-
titude of light frame houses scattered
throughout the length and breadth of the
town, the wide extent of ground covered by
the municipality and the consequent long
distances our fremen are called upon to
run, TIE horrible condition Of many of the
streets, making the rapid moving of engines

ard the dangers naturally arising from the
great number and diversified nature of our
manufactures.
From all over the country comes the cry
from insurance men, real estate owners,

From January l, 1885, to date there have

no damage whatever being done. In eight
other instances the fires were of the most
