occasionally crowded off the pages devot-
ed to this city, and readers would do we'll
to bear this in mind.
1t is suggested with apparently strong
reasons, that Streetsville should be given
better fire protection. There is no hydrant
now on Broadway west of Sixteenth
street, and there Is much valuable prop
erty west OF there. The large school
building at Streetsville is practically with
out any protection in case of fire, and
there is much other property which it !
seems should have hydrants located near
enough to secure protection.
1t looks as If the prohibitionists mean
business. They cay they were given the
assurance that If a goodly number of pc.
titioners expressed a desire to have the
saloons closed, the mayor would close
them; and they have secured such sig
natures, there being among them some
OF the most pro mlnent men In the city,
and some of the largest property owners.
They propose to walt aud see what the
authorities will do, and then If nothing
Is done they will decide themselves on
some course of action.
