Fernandina Mirror: The frequent
alarms Of fire IN this city demonstrates the
absolute necessity of some steps being taken

whole city. A special meeting of council
has been called to consider this important
matter. While it would prove great hard
ship to prohibit the use Of wood as fuel by
millmen and others, yet we feel assured
that those most deeply interested in the
matter will acquiesce in any action that
may be taken by council.
