Our attention was called to No. ,
hose house and cart this afternoon with
the request that we call the attention
of the officers of the fire department to
them. The hose house has stood in the

or three weeks and tho cart and hose
are in the street east Of Masonic Hall.
The hot weather will ruin the cart and
hose, if they are not cared for pretty
soon. 1t has been stated that the hose
housc would bn put on the vacant
ground back of the Masonic building,
a splendid place for it, but nothing has
been done toward moving II. Some one
in authority should attend to this matter
at once. rs a fire is liable to break out
any time and the cart and hose might
he needed.
