The policy and economy of having a
third horse at the Franklin street fire sta
ton is being discussed. During the recent
dry spell, when alarms for grass fires were
OF almost daily occurrence, sometimes two
or three alarms being turned in during
one day, the absence Of the two fire horsss
from the house, being used on the street
sprinkler, caused delay which in case of q
serious fire might have proved disastrous.
1t is the plan Of those who favor the
three horse equipment to have one horse
at the house all the time, while the others
are employed on street and sidewalk
work. At the same time the three horses
would obviate the necessity OF hiring a
third horse at q for every alarm given, as
under the present arrangement.
