There are now about two hundred feet in the outfit of the department, but it is old and too light for the service re- quired, so that when in use it fre- quently bursts under the pressure. There is in the town of Nogales a great deal Of valuable propert.- sub ject to loss or damage by fire and the only protection is in the fire depart ment and water system. Without good hose the department is utterly powerless. It is currently stated that a well known citizen has offered to ad- vance the town the money necessary to purchase five hundred feet of hose and pay the freight, if the town will issue warrant for the amount SO it may be paid from the first money in the treasury. It is surely very 1ib- eral and public spirited offer, and the Oasis trusts that the town board will accept the proffer at once.-Oasis.
