Taxed to Full Capacity.

It is said that the town waterworks
plant is being taxed to its fullest ca
pacity during the last few days while
the hot weather has been IN evidence,
and an extra man has had to be en-
gagged to help at the pumping station.
the engineer having to work eighteen
and twenty hours at a time TO meet the
demands of the consumers 1t would
be well for the consumers. at this stage
of the game, when everything is so
dry, to take an inventory of their prem
ises and consider whether their dwell
ings or lawns are most valuable.
Let a good fire get started, and it is
hardly probable that it could be sue
cessfully fought, at any time during the
night, on account of the enormous
amount of water used for sprinkline
purposes earlier in the day. This is
no fault of the engineer or crew al
the pumping station, who are working
the pumps to the full capacity night
and day It is no use closing the door
after the horse has been stolen, and q
little considerate use of the water fol
springling purposes, might leave the
plant in such shape as to leave enough
pressure to combat any fire that might
be started.
THE TIMES only points out this fact
in an effort to save the town a dis
astrous fire. which owing to the dry
condition of things. would result in 6
big loss to property. "A stitch in timt
saves nine"

Petition Is Circulated.

Yesterday a petition was started by
several Crown Point business and pro-
fessiona1 men, which will be presented
on or before the next meeting of the
town board, petitioning for an ordi-
nance governing the future building
of barns and public stables, which will
no doubt meet with the entire approval
of that board, who have heretofore
shown their public spiritedness in en-
HANGING the general welfare and beauty
of the town and the petitioners ex-
pect to get prompt action on their
measure in spite of the fact that 1t
may be fought by a few who have al
ready built barne on the street line
in the residence district. The petition
compiled by one of Crown Points
prominent lawyers, embraces the fol-
lowing terms which will be prayed for
in the ordinance asked from the town
board (a) That no barn. public or
private can be built within forty feet
of the street line on any residence
street in town. ((b) That in the future
no barn or stable shall be built except
of brick or concrete, to provide against
the imperiling Of dwelling houses
agaisnt fire. The petition is entirely
consistent with the best interests of
the masses and While II may, (1r an
ordinance is passed embracing it's
terms) be a matter of inconvenience
to few, it will no doubt meet with the
approval of everyone when the general
welfare and beauty of the town is taken
into consideration.
THE TIMES, while not taking any
credit to itself for the petition thai
was started yesterday, cannot but fee
responsible for blazing the way by its
repeated articles against the barns
built on the street lines on several Of
our residence streets.
