FIRE Protection NEEDED
At STATE BUILDINGS
Law Provides for Installing a
System But is Disregarded

Within the last few months up
on several occasions, waste paper bas-
kets in the offices OF the officials of
the State Capitol Building have
caught on fire through carelessness
in dropping cigar stumps and lighted
matchesinto them. Upon one occa-
sion a janitor found a waste basket
of paper blazing half way to the cell
ing, and only. by prompt work was
the fire extinguished.
An appropriation was made at the
last session OF the Legislature of
Sl350OO for special watchman to
look after the Capitol Building. This
appropriation was made nearly two
years ago, but up to date the watch
man has not been appointed, and IL
is the duty OF the Capitol Commits
sioners to appoint him While a
saving of $l,350.OO might be accom-
plished by not appointing him. yet a
fire might break out in the building
and through this neglect, property
valued at over a million dollars
might be wiped out. This sort of
penny wise economy will not strik.
the taxpayers favorably.
~ There is over $S,OO0OO lying idle
in the Library Fund which the Secre-
tary of State could use for fire pro-
lection to the Capitol Building to the

votes out of the 500 were cast. There
is more than something doing with
the farmers up the river.
1t is understood that practically a
full ticket is to go up. County
Clerk. District Attorney. two mem

possibly Sheriff will be on the pro-
gram so it is stated.
As it all tends to warm up the fight
and bring about local interest the in
lection of this new vote into the old
system OF the political body will help
keep up the situation. The weather
may be rather cool but the atmos-
phcre politically is warming up.
There will probably be fight on
the floor regarding the naming of the
county ticket at this meeting. as one
faction is strongly in favor of wait
ing until the very last moment before
naming the ticket so as not to give
their program away. This will prob
ably cause lively time at the meet

The state has spent large amounts
of money in getting the water into
the Capitol Building and the State
Board of Capitol Commissioners have
taken no steps whatever to utilize the
water except for drinking purposes.
Ten thousand dollars was spent
some years ago in sinking an arte-

with fourteen-inch pipe reaching
down several hundred feet there is
pure water coming within SIX or eight
feet of the surface. If pumping
plant could be furnished there would
be plenty of pure water, which could
be used for drinking purposes and
also in a fire emergency.
