Such extremely windy nights as last
night should call forth every possible
precaution to prevent fires. 1t is the
duty of everyone to be extra careful
about throwing out warm ashes. A fire
getting under headway with such high
winds would result most disastrously.
A further safeguard should be provided
in the shape Of special watchers on be-
half of the city. There is no use setting
up the howl of expense, for this expense
would be very small as compared with
the ravages of q destructive fire, and
when such a fire took place the anti
expense fire howlers would be the first,
loudest and most abusive post fire kick
ers and growlers for not making such
provision.
