Condemning Bad Flues.

To lessen the danger of fires within the business portion of the city the council has employed M B. Barham to make careful and extensive inspec- ton of every fue within the fire limit and make report condemning all that were in any manner dangerous or de- fective. The work of inspection has been going on for several days and has resulted in. the discovery of many fire traps. As fast as these defects are discovered the property owners are ordered to nuke the necessary repairs and unless tlr order is complied with heavy fines W be imposed. Mir. Bar nam is practi al man and this work should result in much good as many hues witch are apparently in good condition are founl to be defective
 Property vners should appreciate this act of the city officials in paying, with the city funds, a man to carefully ex- anime their property and perhaps thereby prevent it's destruction by fire
