FIRE ESCAPES on 4 HOSPITAL.
Christ.s Is Equipped Thoroughly As
Safety Measure

Needing the cries for fire escapes and
the need of fire escape laws over the
city the officials of Christ's hospital
have taken the law into their own hands
and without any regulations what
ever they have equipped the buildings
with the latest and most modern fire
fighting apparatus-also fire escaping.
New stand pipes have been placed on
every floor in the building also in the
basement and boiler rooms A heavy
three inch hose is attached to these
tanks with sufficient play to reach
every room on the floor New fire es-
capes have been placed at the hallway
exits on every floor and hand extin-
guishers have been scattered here and
there over the building
This is the kind of spirit that pleases
the average fire marshal and makes
the duties of the office satisfactory to
all concerned

building when the building is but

There seems to be no room for
blame whatever. The ownerscould not
make exits out of the roof. The fire
marshal had no authority to dictate
whatever. The guests could hardly
escape-even though warned. Every
thing in the power of human hand
was done by the fire department and

Since the publication in the State
Journal Saturday evening of the prop
osition submitted by Mayor Green
and number of city officials in
which the fire protection tax would
be raised from seventeen hundredths
of mill to one mill on a dollar and
reduce the water rates 25 per cent.
the chief executive of the city hall has
received numerous inquiries and let
tiers from citizens over the city who
are radically in favor of the plan and
who are anxious for it's adoption. The
scheme to put $4,000 into the city
treasury from tax instead of $4,000
thus paying the expenses of the water
department, and in lieu of the same
reduce the water rates is of vital i'm
portance to the water consumer VINO
at the present time pays a double
price for his water-tax and rates. A
number of out of town people have
read the article and a letter from
Arkansas came to the mayor today
asking his advice concerning the mat
ter. This manner of reducing the
price of living and increasing the price
of selling is especially favorable to the
more common class of people in the
city who have their bread and butter
to earn and not their fortunes. 1t
must be remembered that the PROPOSE
ton will receive due consideration of
the city council if the people will
make their wants known at once.
Tomorrow morning Street Commits
sioner Snyder will gather the city
asphalt gang together and spread a
new asphalttc preparation. all over the
roof Of the city hall. The roof has
been leaking for some time and had
grown beyond the timers art. The
street commissioner will use this new
invention of his own-and the city Of
ficials feel that the test will be sue
cessful This asphalt is now quite as
hard as that used on the street and it
will take $50 degree heat to melt
it. The roof is only $50 degrees at
the height of summer.

TENNIS STARTS
AT FOUR O'CLOCK

Promptly at four clock this after"
noon, on the Beretania courts, the semi
finals in both gentlemen's and ladies
singles will commence. Miss Hall VS..
Miss Birney and Mrs. Gregory VS.. Mrs.
Hind in the ladies singles, and E. s. Gee
VS.. Theodore Richards and George Wa
terhouse VS.. Atherton Richards in the
gentlemen s singles.
The mixed doubles will start prompt
lv at 4:30. Mrs. George Davies and

George Davies VS.. Miss Birney and
David Anderson, Miss Ruth Richards
and Anterior Richards VS.. Miss M.
Hall and f. E. Steere, Miss Bosher and
Noel DEER vs. Mrs. Hind and Sonny
Cunha.
The mixed doubles tournament will
certainly bring out some interesting
tennis. The teams seem to be very
well paired and it is impossible to pick
on winner.
The singles are getting down to the
exciting point where the possibilities
are narrowing down to a few players.
Miss Birney has already shown her
ability on the courts and she should
be able to make it hard for Miss Hall.
With the form that Gee has been show
ing lately he should be able to defeat
Mr.. Richards but he has no mean OPP
ponent to play against and this should
be particularly exciting match.
The players are particularly request
ed to ibe on hand promptly so as to
avoid delay in starting the games. All
corners are welcome in the club grounds
and today's playing is not by any
means to be missed by those who enjoy
tennis.
