A dream. We had a dream the
other night. Zone of the church
bells began ringing announcing the
alarm of fire. Everyone hustled to-
wards the business portion with pals
of water. Some mentioned about
getting out the hose, but no one
was around who could start the en-

thrown on the blaze, but as no one
could get near enough to do effective
work with pail the flames had their
way and the block burned down.

of such kind of fire protection and
blamed the village council, stating
that they had worked so diligently
and spent good money putting in
what protection we had, and now
what did it amount to-" Sunday
night was hot one. We did not
sleep much and no wonder the dream.
We came down town the next morn
ing and found everything right side
up as usual, without even a fire in
the stoves. The dream, however, set
us to thinking: While the business
portion of Brownsville is quite well
protected, in a way, against fire,
still it is not so much SO as one.
might at first think. If there is
hardly anyone who can start the
engine, or couple the hose and look
after them as they should be looked
after, what's the use of having the
outfit? Are the people at fault in
placing the blame on the council?
