Once more there is brought to the no
ticc OF the residents OF Island Pond that
there is almost an utter inability to cope
with a fire OF any magnitude Even the
little fire apparatus atim dcd by the town
is improperly cared for. Only the other
day an insurance agent visiting here on
business expressed a desire to see the fire
engine, etc, and when conducted to the
place where the apparatus is stored he
found hose Snarled and kinkcd mp on the
floor. Is II not an all important prcrog-
ativc of the Sclcctmcu to see that appar-
atus of this kind is ready for instant use ,
vet they III h!SrcmissncSs of heir duty are
no morcrcprchcus;hlct than arcthc prop
crty holders, III fact everyone who remains
passive and content with the thought
that never as yet has the village been
swept with flames, (Stll we have had
some close calls, and who only smile at
the call for action SO often repeated in the
HERALD. Demonstration is dangerous.
And while on this subject how often are
the ny drants tested to see il they can he
relied upon i'll case of FIRE?
