 The town has been very free from fires the past year. In the borough there have been but two, neither of them serious. The tenement house of Rawitser Bro's., on the river road, entailed a loss of $1 200, and fire in the wooden building near the Warren mill, did not do over $500 worth of damage. Outside of the borough there has been the Patten house and barn at West Stafford, the house and barn be- longing to Merrick Warrington, and James Kay's barn. If the loss by fire could be kept down as small for two or three more years the people would be Justified in asking for 8 decreased insur- . ance rate, and would probably get it.
