losses from the flames. What such
losses might have been, had not this
or some other provision been made,
would be the correct basis for an es-
innate of the economy of ample fire
service, but unfortunately the better
the service is, the less substantial the
evidence that exists of its importance
as factor for promoting economic
results.
GAS has been intimated, the only
attempted justification for the city to
violate and ignore a solemn compact,
legally made, is inability to comply
with its conditions, and the tenability
of this claim depends, when there are
large sums of money, to disburse, very
largely upon an apparent impossibility
to grasp the slightest conception OF
benefits that are not based upon the
most tangible evidences known to the
natural senses. While it may be very
commendible for our city authorities
to bend every energy towards meeting
the contracts for interest on the
bonded Indebtedness, payable to PEG.
pie on the other side of the continent,
might it not be as we'll to make a
slight effort to meet no less sacredly
assumed obligation to creditor at our
very doors, one that has done his share
towards keeping the ball of progress
rolling and who has borne full part
of the burden incident thereto? May
not display of justice, as we'll as the
prOverbial dispensing of charity, begin
at home?
No creditor of the city has ever met
our people with better disposition
for fairness, and none have been more
prompt in recognizing conditions, OF
in making concessions involving loss
to themselves.
"For several years pass the com.
pany has donated large portion OF
the contract price to the city, realizing
its financial condition and need of as.
sistance in every way. In '95 the COM
pany accepted $1,000 and donated the
balance of 81 ,5I2 to the city. In '96,
knowing the extraordinarily bad situa.
ton and the fact that taxes would not
come in until new law was passed.
it accepted $1,000 and donated $2,512
to the city, with the distinct under
standing, however, that this was to be
no precedent and only matter of as
81 nee for that year. Now the city is
assured more revenue from the taxes
and yet arbitrarily offers 81 900 and no
more. The company made PROPOSE
ton this year to the council to accept
$1,000, donate the balance of the con-
tract 81 ,512 to the city and to reduce
the water rates of all private houses 10
per cent. from present rates, showing
that in this way the public, or water
consumers would receive a benefit
equal to about $500 per annum."
But the question now presented is,
What are we going to do, as com
munity, in this crisis? What can we
do to bring our city fathers-who nc
doubt are endeavoring conscientiously
to perform their duty-and the com.
pany together? How are we to avert
