KEEP IT OPEN.

THOSE who have occasion to
hurry TO the house wherein is
stored the fire apparatus should al.
ways find the place unlocked.
This is highly necessary because
the loss of one minute may result
in the destruction of much prop
ctty.
But the man IN a hurry To get on,
the fire apparatus usually runs up
against a proposition Of a tightly
locked door-with no dynamite OF
crowbar convenient. In case OF
doubt Use AN axe is good advice
bu, even TO chop down a door OF
break of a lock requires time; aud
in a case Of fire time Is an essential
factor.
The FIRE house should be left, as
is customary in all cities where no
paid department exists, wide open.
Every night an electric bulb should
burn inside the bpilding-in order
to avoid any accident to those
going there ''for the goods"
Boys should realize that Il is a
peni,entiary oiiense to frequent the
building or to disturb the contents
and parents should impress that
fact upon the children.

THAT FRANCHISE.

TO many of the property owner,
OF ST Johns the application for a
gas franchise, recently made 20 the
city council, is not as plain as il
should be, In its present shape no
business man would consider the
proposition. And il is not AZ all
likely that the council will. To
conduct the business successful,
and furnish a good quality of gas
ample capital is required. Until
any firm OF individual can furnish
sufficient evidence that il has the
necessary financial backing their
propositions should be thoroughly
Investigated, Aud why any haste
To donate the privilege of manufact-
uring gas in the city OF 81. Johns :
II the people are clamorous tor gas
why not advertise the fact and in
vite competition Ii the proper
publicity were given the fact that
-. Johns has a gas franchise to do.
nate perhaps we could get dollar
gas. Perhaps We could get il for
less. Who knows In the mean
time il will be wise to find out who
the people are who are asking for
the gas franchise,
