Don't DO 1t.

The city council has passed reso.
luton ordering the hose house moved
from It's present location to the lot
upon which the tank stands, The
HERALD believes the council has Ia
ken hasty action. True, the lot upon
which the hose house now stands
costs SIS year rental, but that is
small compared to the additional
safety afforded by having the hose
cart near to the business portion of
the town, The city has not needed
the hose cart many times in the past,
but when it has been wanted, it is
like a revolver in Texas, as the man
said: you don't want gun very
often, but when you do you want it
awful bad"
Take the fire Of Tuesday. II the
hose house had been where it is pro-
posed to move it practically nothing
would have been saved, as the delay
occasioned by the increased distance
would have given the fire such start
as to have made it uncomfortable.
The first five minutes is everything,
If a fire starts at night the cart should
be whore it could be got at at once,
as the early force Of workers will be
very small The HERALD asks the
committee having the matter in charge
to wait until the people can be heard
from.

AS will be seen on another page of
the HERALD, the democrats Of this
place held Il meeting for the purpose
Of agreeing upon Il candidate for

the HERALD believes, is objected to
by several candidates, and the pros.
poets are good for spirited contest,
As this paper understands the matter
the candidates now are NJ. Beckley,
George Van CIeaye, David Clark and
j. d. Holder, AS this Office is one
that by right belongs to democrat,
the fight will be IN that party, The
HERALD hopes that the man getting it
will prove efficient, as this town is
getting to a point where better postal
service will be demanded.
