Monday evening a number Of bust
ness men met at the sehooi house for
the purpose Of setting on foot move
ment to procure reliable fire protec-
ton. The plan most favor, d seemed
TO be theputting in of an independent
fire system, that is without reference
to supplying the town with water for
fapily purposes. To accomplish this it
was suggested that large number Of
water tanks be- placed on the hill and
a six inch main he laid through the
town. Funds for this purpose it is
proposed to raise by increasing water
rents SO per cent until the fu ! amount
is paid to the Copper company. If
something of this kind rs not done the
~hanccs are very favorable for Jerome
being cut off by Insurance companies.
