LOOK OUT FOR GRASS FIRES.

1t is about time for the ann ual trouble
with grass fires, especially along the
slopes OF the W sstern and Eastern prone
nades and at Peaks island. These fires
are very hard to handle and always do
much damage before they can be extin-
guished. The chief engineer advises that
the moment one of these fires is dis.
covered it would be wise for those who
see it TO communicate ut oncs with the
nearest engine house by telephone .or
otherwise before the fire assumes great
Roadway in order TO give the iiremen u
chance to prevent the lire IRON spreading
and damaging property. 4he tires on
Peaks island usually cost the city big
sum of money toextinguish and residents
Of tits island should see to it that grass
nres are rot allowed to spread over much
terrific before help is called to extinguish
