CITY COMMISSION
GUARDS AGAINST FIRE
Basement of Stores Within Fire
Limits Must Be Supplied
With Hose and Nozzles

The city commissioners are taking
precautions against loss from fire.
With that object in view they passed
two ordinances while they We're in
session on Monday. The first one ex-
tended the fire district limits to take
in a section of country several blocks
east on Yakima avenue than they
were before
The second ordinance is to guard
against fires in the easements of build
ings. There seems to have a number
of basement fires within the past few
weeks, which has caused attention TO
the danger therefrom when the fire
cannot DO handled at its commence
ment. The new ordinance Just passed
by the commission provides that the
owners OF all buildings with base
ments must see that the latter are
provided with fire hose and noz2les. In
order that fires may be extinguishe "a
before they get to going real good and
strong. Penalties are provided for
failure to have Easements properly
supplied with fire fighting devices ac-
cording to the term of the ordinance.
The assessment rolls for three i'm
provement districts were confirmed.
The Modern addition trouble In re-
gard to the Pettyjohn contract re-
mains in statu quo. 1t Will thus re-
main until the Directing taxpayers
make "a move.
Mayor A. j. Splawn expressed HIM
self on the subject Monday. He said
the commissioners had done as they
thought best, after having received
the advice OF their attorney. He
threw a little light on the matter by
explaining why the commissioners
had voted to issue the warrants, put
ting the question onto the taxpayers.
instead of refusing to pay them, and
putting it up to the Pettyjohn Con-
tracing company to sue for the war
rants. The mayor said that had the
commissioners refused to pay the war
rants. they might have thus thrown
the ctty liable to damages In suit
from the contractor. AS 1t Is now.
the taxpayers and the contracting
company can fight 1t out, the city can
look on, and be free from any en-
tanglng damage suit.
