left in just the condition Roswell is
for fire protection.
Now comes the catastrophe. One
hot, windy July afternoon the cry of
fire anne from a livery barn to the
windward of the business street. Ev-
erybody's heart sank, as it was soon
evident that the town was doomed.
The fire engine and hose cart were
run out, a string ii hose laid to a
well at a principal corner in the bu-
siness street,-but they were not ev-
en used, as the fire spread sc rapidly
that every one had to flee for their
lives. The engine and hose burned
with the rest. Business men tried to
save some of their goods, but could
not get back of the fire, and goods
were carried out only to be burned
in the streets.
In the brief period of two hours the
business street was swept clean from
end to end of buildings and goods,
the value running up to hundreds of
thousands of dollars. About one hun
dred buildings. besides lumber yards.
etc, were consumed. l wish to say
hat most of the business buildings
were good substantial brick and
stone buildings, such as are usually
called fire proof in small towns, and
equal in this respect to any in this
city.
Citizens, voters and taxpayers of
the city of Roswell, do you want to
invite such a calamity as this? The
conditions exist here just as they did
at Belle PLANE, and a repetition of
Belle PLANES experience is not i'm
possible, but rather probable.
After recovering from the shock,
rebuilding began at Belle PLANE,
slowly at first; but courage revived,
being an important railroad center
the town soon took ON it's wonted &C
tivity. BUT THEY HAVE WATER
WORKS NOW.

THE WATERWoRKS PROBLEM
AS 1T LOOKS TO AN OUTSIDER

Editor Daily Record 1t may be
out of place for an outsider to med
die with city affairs. but this water
works question seems to me so i'm
portant for the future of Roswell as
a city, that the recital of a story par
allel to conditions here would EEL
to the point. / shall not attempt to
discuss the merits of the proposed
waterworks question, but leave this
to ADLER hands; but wish to call at
tention to some propositions that
seem so self-evident that none al
deny them.
A town to be a desirable. and safe
place for business and residence,
must have plenty of water available
for fire protection as well as an ade-
quate supply at reasonable cost for
household purposes. No town can ey-
er become of much Importance as a
business or manufacturing nte
without this.
II is the boas of some that the
artesian wells have made Roswell
what it is. Admitting thi t. be true,

further progress something more is

my life in a town named Belle PLANE.
state of Iowa Belle Plaine is a rail
road town of some 5000 people. The
need of waterworks for fire protec-
ton was often emphasized by fires
more or less serious at various times.
Nothing. however, seemed to rouse
the people to the required pitch. Sc
veral years ago artesian water was
discovered to underlie the town and
country. Then everybody cried ECU
reka. now We have IT," But the small
citizen soon figured out that it was
cheaper to bore down $50 feet and
put i'm n two inch pipe han to lay
water mains. etc. Hence nothing
