Keep the Horses
In Fire Stations.

\ large number Of complaints were
entered at the City building Monday
by prominent business men. Who have
protested the placing OF the city fire
horses on the sprinklcrs during the
present drouth, and ii is probable that
Il meeting will be held and some action
taken.
Several times the fire horses have
been cut when an alarm was sounded
leaving onls. one pair tf horses at the
Central station that could be used.
TIE matter has been brought 10 the
attention of the fire committee and
municipal officers in years past. but
no action has ever been taken. Now
the merchants have interviewed and
probably the matter will be definitely
settled.
For instance. ON Monday morning
while the tire did not happen to be of
any consequence. the horses were on
the sprinklers and could not respond
tn the fire until they had hastily driv
en- to their respective houses and
changed to the fire apparatus. A pair
OF the Central station horses were near
the Bay View hotel and had just
loaded the heavy sprinkler. The Hose
5 horse and driver We're also in that
vicinity. The Hose horse was at the
lower end of Silver street hauling the
heavy sprinkler. When the alarm
came in only one team. Hose /.
responded. The other horses from that
station had to draw the heavy sprink-
Ter to the station and there be trans
ferred to the Hook & Ladder truck.
The Hose , horses, the fire being in
their district. was driven at rapid
pace down Silver street to their house
and arrived on the scene many min
utes after the alarm.
To be sure. the fire did not amount
to anything and even did not require
water or chemicals, but on the other
hand a fire in the business section as
it was Monday morning considerable
damage could be done in the space of
a very few minutes and especially in
the present dry period. The place for
the fire horses is at the stations and
not on a sprinkler at any time.
