Fire Protection,

III q AVtSStA~As
A notice is published elsewhere by
the authority Of the village council
calling public meeting Of the tax
payers rnt citizens Of this village for
purpose Of eons,'dring y proposition
of bonding thc village in order to Sc
care some mems Of protecting ,sror-
erty from fire. All who possibly cln
do 10 should attend. us the matter to
.be consi.l"red il one Of great import
lance, and some conclusion should hc
arrived At in the near future. We
understand it tn be the desire OF some
of tn: heaviest. property owners to
bond the village for 4 sufficient amount
to put in system Of her works
which will reach large p,rt Of the
town. A stationery engine would be
placed at some point on tbs river, and
the pipes run to snci parts OF the VIII
laSe now has hose cart and 1900 feet
Of bosa, and of course it would not be
necessary to have Il fire engine, as
the stationery engine would b: eS~
pccted to furnis', power enough to
throw the w.,ter. The lowest estimate
us to the probable cost Of the iuproye-
meuts is $1,000, and if it should run
considerably above that figure, We
would still think the scheme advisable
Little Falls property is very poorly
protected from fire, aud some move

be thrown on the subject Saturday
