Broad street would be much improved
and life for pedestrians and residents
thereon made more pleasant, if the sprink-
Ter was brought into service. No matter
how numerous facilities for pleasant living

the beginning of the season, that a system
for getting the greatest benefit from our
fire team, the sprinkling apparatus and
our water supply be inaugurated early and
enforced throughout the season.
