FURTHER PREVENTION NEEDED.

Az ORDlNANCE recently passed
by the City Council prohibits, under
pain Of the intliciion Of 4 penalty,
any person within the corporation
limits from kindIing fires Tor the
CONSUMPTION Of rubbish during any
other hours than between six am.
and twelve noon.
This is 80 far 80 good, rs evening
and night are ;imes whuu s9a:,-s ,.r.-
observed are liable 20 be blown about
and to sei contiguous materials aud
buildings afire.
There are two points, however
that are Of equal or even sin
greater Importance that should
not have been overlooked. One
is, that no such fires should
be kindled within n prescribed dis
lance, presumed TO lie safe, from any
building or infiammable materials
This Is especially necessary in sum-
mer weather, when every thing IN
the shape 81 wool Is as dry As tin
der, 20 to speak. In that condition
a single spark would be sufficient TO
originated fire that would consume
a whole block.
The other point OF importance Is
that it should he made nlawful. IN
der any circumstances, FOR young
children 20 kindle and maintain
rubbish or other such fires within
the corporate limits, As they are not
supposed 70 have sufficient judg-
meut TO realize the existence OF.
danger. We have seen neighbor-
hoods kept in 4 condition Of dread
in consequence Of small children
being allowed by their parents to
light fires close 70 premises that
might easily have been set afIame
and communicated to other build
ings. This is specially applicable to
the northeastern part Of the city,
where there are no facilities for ex-
tinguishing fires, owing to the water
streams from the hydrants being
mere dribbles.
