The recent fires in Nit Vernon
have make clear two things
First that Mt. Vernon, has a Let
of plucky, energetic and de-
termined fire fighters, who are
not afraid of Work, and VINO are
ready to stay on the JOB as long
as there is any hope af putting
out the flames or saving property
But there is another fact that
has been brought out by the late
fires in Mt. Vernon. namely that
because of a lack of organization
the fire fighting has not been ,as
effectual as it might have been,
andcertainly the loss of property
through unnecessary breakage
has been much greater than il
should have been.
Whatever our attitude is toward
water-works in Mt Vernon, why
not provide for the immediate
future by organizing voluntefl
fire brigade that will fight oul
fires not only with persistence
but with system and order, Will
a level headed, steady nervet
man as fire chief. and few abb
captains with squads under him
oar loss by fires in Mt. Vernon
woul be reduced tc a minimum
