TO PREVENT FIRES
Mayor Snyder Receiving Copies of Oil
Laws From Eastern Cities.

In response to letters sent out some
time ago, Mayor Snyder is receiving
from eastern cities copies Of the laws
and ordinances in force there regulat-
ing the sale of petroleum and other oils.
Quite number Of these responses have
been received, but as others are expected
the mayor will not begin his work to
have similar measures enforced here un-
til all his letters have been answered.
1t is his purpose to secure, if possible,
the passage of an ordinance providing
for the inspection of all oils offered for
sale to private families for Illuminating
purposes and requiring that the dealers
handle only oil of a certain standard,
which will be fixed by the ordinance.
The purpose intended is to prevent as
far as possible fires in residences from
the use of poor qualities of kerosene.
About half the fires that occur in the
city are due to the use of explosive oils
of low grade and the mayor desires to
remove this cause.

Weai. Walls in the City Hall to Be

Better fire protection is to be given
vice several double fire hydrants. The
matter was brought before the board of
fire commissioners yesterday BY a COM
munication from the Merchants and
Manufact turerS' association, asking that
six double hydrants be placed in the mid
die of the blocks along Main and Sprlne
streets between Temple and Fifth and
that four others be placed on each OF
these streets between Fifth and Ninth
The question was discussed by the COM
missionerS and it was pointed out that
in the last two annual reports Of Chief
Moore this Improvement in the fire ser
vice had been recommended.
Chief Moore stated that the request
Of the association was for more hydrants
than are really needed, although the
presence OF number OF double hydrants
in that part Of the city Would give much
better protection to property. The mat
ter was referred TO the chief with in
structions to draw up report stating
where, in his opinion, the hydrants arc
needed ard submit the report to the
board ut it's next meeting 1t will then

works will modify the anti-hitching or

works will modify the anti-hitching or
dinance materially, or rather recon-
mend to the city council certain amend
ments to the measure which will change
its character. 1t is not the intention Of
the members of the board to return to
the old ordinance, as some members of
the council have suggested, but instead
they will remove the most Objectionable
features of the new ordinance. While
it is not possible to state in advance
just what will be done, a sufficient num-
Der of councilmen have expressed their
views on the matter to indicate what the
proposed changes will be.
The reason given in nearly all the
petitions for a repeal Of the ordinance
for the opposition to it among the bust
ness men is that it is now impossible for
them to receive or discharge goods in
front of their stores unless they employ
a man to watch their teams. They state
that they do not desire the privilege Of
letting teams stand for an unlimited
length of time, but they desire that the
ordinance be so amended so that their
drivers will not be subject to arrest
while the actual work of loading and
unloading is in progress. The exercise
of discretion by policemen is asked in
this matter. If possible the board OF
public works will incorporate in the or
dinancc clause which will make it
possible for loading and unloading of
wagons to be done, although they have
now no idea of how they will specify
the contemplated change.
Another point that has been urged
against the ordinance and in which Il
change is asked, is that at present it
will not permit Of the delivery of goods
unless two men accompany the wagons
on their rounds. Several of the mar
| chants have asked that wagons actu-
| ally ged in the delivery of goods be
| exempted from the provisions Of the
| ordinance, and two Of the members OF
the board have expressed themselves
as being in favor of this change. Tha
board does not intend to so into gen
eral discussion OF the matter again and
will endeavor to make the changes de-
sired without hearing protests against
the ordinance.

ASKS a REBATE
For an Assessor on Contemplated
Improv ements

Mrs. NJ f. Klass petitioned the city
council yesterday for a rebate of taxes,
although she did not state the amount.
She owns q lot and the assessment
against it is admitted to have been reg
ular. Her claim is based upon the fact
that on the first Monday in March there
were no improvements on the lot. Soon
after that date. however, the construc-
ton of q house was begun. The petit
toner claims that she should not have
been assessed for the improvements and
asks the council to allow her the por-
ton of the taxes paid on that account.

people Of the county are in very good
condition. They have made very
good crops, have paid their debts, as
u whole, and have plenty of hog and
hominy for the present year. The
farmers have moe and better stock
than ever before. They have learned
great deal in the last few years by
experience. They no longer buy
any and everything simply because
they can buy it on credit. They are
beginning to realize that from Z to 8
cents per pound is normal price for
cotton, and they make their calcula-
tions on that basis. A great number
of them arc taking stock in mills OF
various kinds, and We only wish that
twice as many had stock in them.
The public roads leading TO town
have been very much improved
within the last year, by the chain
gang system, which is great im-
| provement on the sll system. The
contract system combined with the
chain gang will soon give us good
public roads.
An electric light plant and water
works plant will be established
during the present year, which vii
be operated by the town, which vii
put Us on city basis. While the
Southern railway gives us goot
service. it would help US very mucl
to have Il competing line Of railway
and we have a strong belief that ere
long the Scaboard system will built
a line from Carlisle to Union. Whcl
