| paid by subscription for sprinkler, but
IL thought that the Commissioners should
| provide this much-needed want. A peti-
| ton will be sent to the Commissioners in
a few days requesting that such an appa-
| ratus be provided for this section. Numer-
Gus business men and citizens have an
nounced their intention to sign the dOcu-
| ment.
