What protection has the property
holders in this city at the present time
The Relief Hook and Ladder Company
is without driver; the regular driver is
confined TO his bed on account Of sick
ness, and if an alarm comes 10 police
man is detailed to leave his beat and
drive the apparatus to the ecene Of the
fire. The horses we're given water this
morning by citizen who stopped at
the truck house as he knew that the
horses were nearly persisted for drink, as
they were continuously neiehing and
paving 0ae of the horses kicked tho
door open and went to the bydraut to
drink. If action is not taken immedi-
ately, /, as q citizen and taxpayer, will
force an investigation and see why the
Fire Wardens don't employ some one to
drive the truck while the regular driver
is ILL. AS rule that piece OF spps-
ratus is the FIRST needed at the scene of
fire. II looks az if the Fire Wardeps
conduct the city's business in loose
way aud such actions should not be
tolerated by the community.
