You see said he, the street car COM

but we could not promise them police pro.

small, and ii takes some time to get the new
men stationed and accustomed to attend to

the cars again until they can run them. The
company was very anxious to start the cars
Monday, but knew that if there was any
such crowd OH the street as there was Satur-

there might be a riot. / cannot tell when

Shove, Secretary Millers' and Manufacturers
Mutual Insurance Company, City-Dear Sir:
On the night Of April fire started in our
shavings vault, located near our boilers,
which was promptly arrested and controlled
by the Grinnell automatic sprinklers and we
are very glad to express in this manner our
entire satisfaction with the protection af-
forded US by this sprinkler system And to
those who may question the efficiency of this
system for giving the same protection in
winter as in summer, will say that we had
not changed from the dry pipe or air system
to the wet pipe system, owing to the uncer-
tainty OF the weather and the liability of the
pipes freezing up.
The action of these sprinklers was as
prompt and efficient as as though they had
been upon the wet pipe system. We have
every confidence in them and recommend
them to any one contemplating a fire protec-
ton that never sleeps. We should not feel
safe without them. Yours very truly

chase the plant of the car company.
The delegation replied that this was i'm
