SearSpcrtS new WaterWOrkS were given |
the first practical tryout Wednesday after
noon, Feb. 18th, and drowned out a fire in

pressed his opinion that a few such oc-
casions would soon save the cost Of the |
water-works. The blaze was in the Sar-
gent building, so-called, on Main street, the
alarm being given about o'clock The |
building was occupied by Harry Mason on
the second floor in whose apartments the
fire originated, and by the undertaking
rooms of L. M. Sargent on the first floor.
The water was soon pouring into the build
ing and the fire was drowned out in short
order The damage will be about $500.
There was no insurance. Every citi-
zen of SearspOrt is convinced that
the new water-works is one of the best
things which ever happened.
