FIRE PLUG FENCED IN.-The fire plug
to the west of John Donohue's residence
on Cedar Street, was fenced in Wednes.
day by P. H Taylor OF the Phoebe Hotel.
Mr.. Taylor in measuring the lot facing
the plug from the north to put up
fence ran his line about IL feet on to the
street and which took in the plug by
about two feet. He put up posts and
made part board and barbed wire fence.
The attention of E. d. Turner, Chief
Engineer of the Fire Department was

inquired of Mr.. Taylor what right he
had to run his fence on public street
and fence in fire plug. Mr.. Taylor
said he could not see as it was any of
Turner's business and that the fence was
On his lot. The Fire Department was
agoing to take immediate action in the
matter as to Mr.. Taylor's right to fence
in the fire plug, but were forestalled by
the gentleman having the fence moved
Thursday three feet back of the plug.
The fence as it now stands still projects
into the street proper. Had fire &C.
CURED ON Cedar Street where it would
have been necessary for the Hose Co.'S
to couple to that plug. with barbed
wire fence around it, some one would
undoubtedly have got hurt, as barbed
wire is not the best of things to run into
of dark night. There is not any toe
much room now around the plug and
the posts that were sunk in front of il
have been left standing. They SHOULD
also be removed to insure free access tt
the plug by the Fire Department.
