THE GROWLER
President Buskirk Replies to North
erner's Article.

erner's Article.
What beautiful faculty it is to be
good GROWER. 1t is magnificent
trait for we can so often use it. Our
families get nice share of it, then the
butcher and the weather. The village
marshal and town officers always get a
fine bunch handed out to them together
with their salaries.
The Northerner last week handed out
a decree to the effect that the marshal
and village council bad been negligent
of their duty in not having the hydrants
thawed out and ready for use. We are
sorry, but the editor of The Northerher
was evidently not at the fire, nor CONVEX
SAINT with the building that burned.
The fire originated in the southeast
corner of the building on the second
floor, in the room that had been used by
the Challenge Churn Co., as a paint
room and when the hose company got on
the ground the fire had gotten under
such Roadway that no part OF the
building could have been saved, had the
hydrants been in working order. The
difficulty with the hydrants is that the
drains have become plugged and the
more they are flushed 10 such weather
as we have had the harder they Will
freeze.
Just to illustrate how easy it is to
kick we will say that had the parties
who installed the fire alarm system, and
by the way, they we're of The Northern
ern's political breed, had the foresight
and sagacity to have extended the sys-
TEN to the water works plant and the
factory district instead of stopping at on
the town side of the race, the fire alarm
would have been given fully ten min
utes sooner. Or, had the Kibbie Tel
ephone Co, who expect fire protection
for its property in our village, and re
fuses to pay its share Of the village tax
es to help maintain such protection
could have been aroused from theil
peaceful slumbers, again could thu
alarm have been turned in earlier
Again, had the former marshal, wh'
wore the g. o. p. brand, been as hand,
cleaning out the fire engine as he wa
flushing the hydrants, the steame
would have been available ten or fiftee
minutes sooner than it was-there wa
only two and bali bushels OF SOC
taken out of the fiues. Again, il W
