Since public wrath has come down up

the producers, since cost of feed ana

slumped from the, previous week, al
though there was normal export call

Of other communities, viii not prevent

ment which city or village may have,
it oftentimes happens that large fires
cannot be prevented. OF course. q good
fire department is one 81 the necessities
Of municipal life, but II must be sup.
pIemented BY vigilance On the part q
officials and property owners. In recent
years, Barre has been much more careful
in This respect; less laxity in the con-
stmetion Of buildings has been tolerated
All occasional inspection Of the more con.
pested districts BY officials Of the city 81
tie FIRE department Is made. while prop
ertv owners have taken upon themselves

These things have helped Barre material
Is and have served together with q
more efficient FIRE department. to make
our losses much lower than in former
years The same methods, and i'm
proved upon, must be continued IN order
to keep up the good work for there are
