store of Il. F.. Burroughs Sons & Com
pany 1t is pointed out that a portion of
the store Of Mr.. Burroughs was in Fair
fax county and the four houses in the
rear were also In the county. The idea
is that the city fire department should not
be expected to afford residents on the

while no revenue. in the way of taxes, is
derived therefrom by the city.
