| vim.
Since the West Brattleboro fire there
has been some agitation for an incor-
poration of that village with our fire
district. The scheme could easily be
made practicable by legislative act
imposing on the people there their
share by taxation of the department
expenses now about 5000 a year. Then
by the location of alarm boxes In Cen
treville and at proper points in the
west village, steamers could get there
fully as quick as 10 Esteyville.
If such change 10 made and wheth
it Is or not, the department ought to
be changed into what is recogniz ed as
regular paid department, with three
men and two horses kept constantly
at the engine house. Then a large
part OF the 'call men, particularly
that part that is deadwood now. could
be dispensed with, and the result be
little II any increase of expense, and
at an actually reduced expense if

costs only $1,000 a year and ours with
one ought to be kept up at S., 600. 1t
is the adoption of such system that
has reduced Burl tons insurance rates
to three fourths of ours. Very likely
the Insu rance Exchange will make it's
adoption the condition of the reduc-
tion: for:which a movement is now in
progress.
Bailif Calvin proposes another idea
which would doubtless help in that
direction and certainly add to. ..theseffi-
cheney of our equipment, and that is
the putting in of a combination hose
wagon, carrying about l,20O feet of
hose, two 40 gallon chemical tanks,
with six underrding tanks holding
alb out three allons each, with which
men could 60 to work instantly on
reaching the scene Of fire, and eight
times out OF 10 quench IT in the time
the hose is being laid for use in case
it is too big for the chemical appara
tus. This would sare most OF the wa
ter damage, which for several years
has been the main part Of what the
insurance companies have paid here.
The idea, VIII ich lslentirely Mr.. Gal
WINS, is an excellent one. No such
wagons are made anywhere, but could
he constructed to order here. The
cost, he thinks, would be about $1,000.
Three times now within few weeks
we have sent an engine to other places
to save property. OF course,
we ought not to refuse such calls from
neighbors, but there ought to be an
understanding by which the actual
cost of such exeditions should be re-
imbursed.
