Paducah's Fire Facilities Must
be Improved at Once.
SO Says a Member OF One OF the
Boards Will Get the Money
Some Way.
NO TIME TO BE LOST NOW

Psducah's chances for getting addi-
tional FIRE protection seem brighter
now that the citizeus are SO thor
oughly aroused. One man found to-
day by little figuring that his insur-
ance II the rates are raised will cost
him 5000 more year than now.
President CHARLES Reed. of the board
OF aldermen, said today that he be-
lieved something would be done at
once. II don't now how the others
feel about it," he said to reporter.
"but think VIC ought to have the FIRE
protection demanded. and ought to
have IL before rates are raised ON us.
We have made mistake by putting it
off this long, bat this is neither here
nor there. II il not too late now to
get what we need.
II am in favor OF buying property
ut Tenth and CLAY streets and putting
ND Q station there. TIE mayor tells
mo that there Is no money, and can be
none " the ordinance increasing sal.
aries remains. I do not say that any
one II paid too much, and do not say
that am in favor OF reducing salaries,
but do say that we must have this
additional station. We can get the
money. There will be no trouble about
that We may get in debt, but as
said this morning. We found the city
ESQ, 600 In dsbt. What harm y there
in getting 10 . little In debt ourselves
~ necessary to give the people relief Of
this nature2 The money we spend is
all spent here in town, so what's the
differencey"
Other members Of the boards seemed
TO think a. President Reed thinks. IL
seems remarkable that the insurance
companies would have allowed the
city TO go this long with the rates that
have prevailed, considering the vast
area that the fire departments have to
cover. On the North Side there are
possibly eco blocks to be protected by
one department and many Of the
structures are frame, and owing TO
their distance from the station. and
the length Of time actually required
10 reach them, there 10 practically no
hope of saving them IL they once catch
iire. All that is saved is usually
ruined. and the fire department. when
il reaches the scene is valuable princi-
pally in preventing spread. The in
suranco company that has that house
insured thus practically has no protec-
ton. 1t loses its money because the
fire protection 10 inadequate, and as
the underwriters have decided that If
they longer take the risks they must
get good prices for 1t.
IL is probable the question of an ad-
ditional station will come mp tonight
in the council. II IL doesn't It will
come mp Thursday night in the alder
manic board.
