IT LOSEi TIM9

LIBERTY FVRE COMPANY DE
TANNED IN RESPONDING to
ALARMS AT RAILROAD CROSS
ING.
The men5ers Of the Liberty Fire
.G G.mpany are making many complaints
at the seemingly unnecessary treat
ment they receive at the hands Of cer-
tain employees OF the p, w. & b. rail-
road.
The Liberty is located over Third
street bridge, in South Wilmington.
and on account of its situation many
Of the alarms that the company has to
respond to require it to cross the p,
w. &, b. tracks at Third and Railroad
avenue before It can reach the scene
Of fire.
Ais everyone knows. or at least all
those who know anything at all about
the working Of the Fire Department
OF this city. it is the desire Of every
company to make the best possible
time when responding to an alarm and
to get into service as quickly as pos
sible This was the principal object
that Chief Sasse had in view when he
mad the new ordinance redistrlctins
the city drawn UP and presented to
Council for its approval, and the fact
that the city was so redistricted went
a great way toward influencing Coun-
Gil to give the measure the favorable
consideration it received.
The Liberty Company is, however
cut cff to some extent from the bene-
fits derived from the Se% ordinance
as in many cases upon responding t
an alarm, and on reaching the rail
road crossing at Third street, the
men find themselves cut off by z
freight train standing across the road
way. This was particularly noticeable
last Saturday night, when responding
TO the alarm from box No. 213, Fourth
and Lombard streets, as when the car
riage and engine reached Third stree
crossing they found their passagi
blocked by a freight train standing
on the tracks across the roadway. TIT
drivers of both engine AID carriagi
explained the necessity Of gettinl
across to the trainmen and asked then
to break the train to let them through
Their words were of no avail, how
ever, and, although the train did no
move, the company was kept standing
there until the single tap came in, in
dicating THAI the fire was out.
This is not the only oc0ason tn
members say that they have been de
tanned. and In times before whei
blocked have tried other streets, onl.
TO meet with the same obstacle. TIL
Liberty men do not mean to censur
' the officials Of the railroad company
but do think that when in a case O
De necessity such as this. TIE railway CT
ficiale should make some provision
whereby the fire apparatus could be al
lowed to pass, especially if it did no
interfere with the movement Of tn
trains. The fremen say that the P
w. & b. Railroad Company shoul
not forget that the Liberty Fire Com
pany responds to box Ne. 4, which
d when struck, indicates a fire at or nea
their station at Front and Frene
streets, and IL the company canno
cross the railroad tracks on accoun
Of an intervening train that i5zAOul
not be censured il it does not put +
an appearance until too late.

THE ASSEMBLY > DUTY.
The plain duty OF the General AS
sembly is to pass a bin reducing the
water rates OF wilmington SO per cent,
thus leaving the Board CT Water Com
missioners enough money TO meet all
current expenses and a surplus Of $24-
600 for emergencies. The plain duty
OF City Council is to raise the tax
rate twenty cents on the 500. il nee
essary to meet the general expenses
OF the city. With such a. increase a
water consumer who now pays s12
water tax would pay but &c. while hie
share OF the increase under the general
levy would not begin to equal THAI
sum. City Council could get along
comfortably on less than twenty
cent increase. In making it's estimate
OF the revenue and needs of the city
Tor the year 1895 It figured on but $780,
600 from the Water Department sur
plus, and received $4,000 more than
thar amount from the pockets Of water
consumers.
Neither should the water consumers
OF the city be called upon to maintain
a sinking fund for the payment Of city
debts contracted for the general bene-
fit. Even with respect to water bonds
there is a common benefit Of protec.
tion in the expense Of which the non.
consumer Of water should share.
Water consumers have already palu
over to City Council enough money
in the shape OF surplus TO discharge
any special obligation df that charac.
ter. They have paid until they arc
tired OF paying, and the time has come
when the non-consumer mist stand on
an equal level with them in the matte,
Of taxation. Not only that, but in tn,
