Calls for Action

The condition of the fire department
as told i'll yesterdays issue should re-
ceive the Immediate. attention of the
property owners of Elko. Steps should
be taken at once to place the hose COM
panies on a better basis and to furnish
them with the necessary apparatus for
fighting fire. When this is done, there
should be someone appointed and paid
a small salary to see that the hydrants
and fire apparatus are kept in order.
The people are taxed to pay for water
and the use of the hydrants, but of
what good are the hydrants if not kept
in order for immediate use in case of a
fire. ''
The condition of the hyGlrant ut Van
Drielen's corner Sunday night might
have resulted in heavy loss to Mr..
Bardley and other property owners in
that neighborhood. The same thing is
liable to occur in other sections of the
town. Let us take this matter in hand
before heavy loss results from our
negligence or lack of interest in the
boys who volunteer to protect our
property.
There should be a meeting of the
citizens at an early date to consider
these matters.
