Protection Against Fire.

North East Star.
North East has no proper protection in the
event of II fire. Fortunately the few fires
that have occurred lately were discovered in
time to prevent serious disaster. We have no
guarantee, however, of always thus being
favored by fortune, and it is a matter that
should engage the serious consideration of
every property holder.
The improvements and perfection to which
effective fire apparatus has been brought, and
the reasonable prices that now rule bring the
possibility of protection within the reach Of
every incorporated town. A few hundred
dollars will purchase all that is necessary for
North East. 1t is possible now to purchase II
large chemical engine and hand fire engine
combined, with hooks, ladders, and buckets
the whole outfit costing less than $500. Our
town officials and property holders should
take steps looking to purchase of such an
outfit and the sooner it is done. the safer the
town will be.
