SATURDAY, OCTOBER u, 1898
ABATE THE FIRE-TRAPs

The fire last night was a costly
sermon on the danger Of permit
ting such old finder boxes as that
fOOkery to stand in the heart of
the city, upon her principal bust
ness thorOughfares. That Alamo
plaza fire-trap caught on German
day, and "A great COnflagrati0n was
only averted by the prompt sac
ton of some persons in the immc-
diate vicinity. The fire commits
sioners should not permit the re-
pair of those premises. Nothing
less than substantial three-story
stone or brick should be erected in
their stead, something as near fire
proof as is possible. There is no Sc
curity for property so long as those
finder boxes exist, and the
business part of the city
is full of them. This
is the second time within a year
and half that the entire businC
side of Alamo plaza has been en-
dangered by the tlimsy character
of the structures that have already
stood too long upon it, to threaten
with destruction the surrounding
properties. The same is true of
SOledad street, where fire has
greatly simplificd the work of the
fire commissioners by cleaning out
the old buildings. This way OF
getting rid Of them is a very eX-
pensiVe'Onp, and it would be bet
ter rigidly to enforce the Ordi-
nances covering the erection and
repair Of buildings within the first
fire limit. The fire last night had
gained great Roadway before the
alarm was given, and was raging
through the entire length OF
the building occupied by
the laundry from front to
rear when the department ar.
rived. Had it spread to the liquor
stored in the adjoining building
on the north there would have
been no possibility of saving much
between that and Crockett street
San Antonio has every reason tC
congratulate herself on the efficien
cy of her fire department and the
abundance of water for fire extinc
ton. 1t is hoped that she will
soon be able to compliment the city
council on the rigid construction
and application of the fire ordi
nances, particularly as to the con
struction of buildings on the plaza
and the main business streets.

Every year there is greater in

This is change from that old time
absorption in business that was
prematurely sapping the founda-

and making the sons of this west

ready the benefits of the new de-
parture are apparent in the i'm
