WILL WE HAVE A HOSE HOUSE.


Council Ready to Act on Very Necessary
Matter.
The necessity of a public building
for this town has been acknowledged
time and time again, and we are pleas
cd to note that council is giving the
matter the attention it deserves. It
is thought that for from 5000 to $4,000 a
suitable building can be erected on a
lot owned by the borough on Third
street to be used for a hose house
while at the same time it will contain
rooms for council, school board and
fire company, with cells for prisoners
on the first floor The building should
be two or three stories high ard be OF
brick, and have all the modern i'm
provements and conveniences. The
Importance of council having a room
with safes for valuable papers is very
apparent when it is remembered that
the borough has costly profiles, valu
able books and papers that could moi
be replaced if lost or destroyed in any
manner. OF course to erect a building
suitable and in accord with the growth
enterprise and development of ou
lively little city, it will be necessar.
for the taxpayers to vote council tn
right to further increase the borougl
debt, this we believe will be unani
nous when the fact is considered tina
annually $3.50 is paid the water com
pany for fire plugs which are practi
cally useless without a hosecarriage an
a we'll organized fire company Thi
latter valuable and highly importau
acquisition to the town we will have
a hose house is erected and carriag
secured for the "boys." When til
gentlemen of council are ready TO az
on this matter we hope the taxpayer
of Lehighton will encourage them {
they justly deserve.
