It seems to be generally thought best
to add to the building of the fire de-
partment to make room for the billiard
table which was presented to the com
pany by +. B. Jennings. The present
building is too small. An addition of
suitable size will also accommodate a
truck of ladders. The village has
none at the present time. II fire
should occur and persons should be in
the upper stories OF building with the
stairways blocked, the department
would be obliged to look up ladders
as best they could and possibly not
obtain them. IL is often the case that
serious accidents happen before prop
er precautions are taken.
