A Water Supply Needed for Bel Air.


The destructive fires that have occurred
from time to time in Maryland towns should
serve as warning to the citizens of Bel Air
to provide some adequate means of extin-
gushing fire. When houses were scattered
the bucket brigade of citizens who worked
with will was always sufficient to prevent
afire from spreading even il not sufficient to
save the building on fire. Since the compile
ton ofthe railroad and by the natural growth
of the town many new houses have been
built, and in some places they have been
crowded closely together, particularly on the
business streets. In many parts of the town
If a fire were to break out it would be al
most impossible to check it until it had raw
too, would also be endangered by any fire
that might occur in their vicinity.
The only means of fighting fire that have
been provided are fire buckets, axes and lad
ders. A fire engine would be of no use, for
want of a water supply, and chemical engines
seem to be little better than toys when an
emergency arises. 1t follows, therefore, that
if the citizens of Bel Air desire to protect
their property from fire they should take some
steps towards obtaining water supply.
Many difficulties are in the way, no doubt,
but they might be overcome. Probably the
best arrangement would be to form a reser
voir on some of the streams near Bel Air, at
point higher than the town, if such point
can be found, and run the water by natural
now through the town. This might not be
practicable, and besides the diversion ofwater
from any of the mill streams might not be
submitted to by mill owners and Others An
other but less effective way would be to pro-
vide for the safety of the public buildings
and property Immediately around them by
building a large cistern in the court house
yard. The roof of the court house would
furnish sufficient water to keep this cistern
full at all times, and in case of fire in the
neighborhood an ordinary hand fire engine
and hose would be sufficient, doubtless, to ex
tinguish almost any fire that might occur in
the closely built quarter of the town.

minister, in Carroll county, and other towns
in the State have been provided with a water
supply, and Port Deposit is also TAX ing steps
to introduce water from some of the streams
which wash her granite hills. Bel Air should
not be behind any of her sister towns, The
Town Commissioners should take some &C.
ton in the matter. 1t will cost very little to
yuh af l., Il. II
ing water supply and it would be far better
to provide it now than after large fire has
swept away one-third or more of the town.

BarthOldi's Statue Of Liberty,

The French steamer Isere having on board
Bartholdis statue of Liberty, was welcomed
at New York last Friday, by an imposing de-
monstration. The statue, which weighs 222
tons, was in pieces, securely packed in large
boxes and suffered no harm on its Journey
hither. 1t will be erected on BedIoes Island,
New York, the name of which, it is hoped,
will be changed to Liberty Island in accord
ance with the suggestion of the New York
World. The statue itself is the gift of France
to the United States, the pedestal on which
it will stand being paid for by American cit.
zens. The pedestal will cost 100000. This
large sum would probably never have been
raised without the aid of the general govern
ment but for the patriotism of Mr.. Joseph
Pulitzer, member of the 10th Congress and
editor of the New York World This popu-
lar journal appealed to the people to prevent
the modification which would have been felt
if no resting place were provided for this
great statue. 1t started fund and by its
earnest appeals nearly the entire amount has
been raised and all of il will soon be in hand
The contributions, too, have not been in
large amounts from the rich, but in small
sums from the masses of the people, young
and old, who appreciate liberty. The result
is great triumph for the World and places
it far in advance of its cotem poraries.
