FIRE PROTECTION AND WATER FOR
bEREh

The general desire for better fire
protection and a better supply of
water has led the Common Council to
take up the matter seriously and pro-
pose to build a partial system for the
town. This matter will be laid before
the voters at the coming election.
Ii is believed that, without increase
OF taxes, very satisfactory water
supply and fire protection for the en-
tire town can be secured.
The situation is this: The College
has a system of its own, mainly the
gift of the late DIR. Pearsons of Chi
cago by which water has been piped
into Berea from Ballard Branch and
Cowbell Hollow at an expense of
about Si5 900. The College has placed
mains on several OF the principal
streets and installed four hydrants
on the streets.
AT an expense of about $4,000 the
town could lay mains on the other
streets and install some thirty ny .
drants so as to give fire protection
TO the entire town. This would also
give an opportunity for nearly every
citizen TO secure a supply of flowing
water in his own house II he so de-
sires.
In this case the College would
have its own water supply and sell
water to teachers and others occupy
ing dwellings on the continuous Col
lege domain. but would allow the town
to sell water to tenants in detached
places like the Fee house and to
business places which might be
owned but not operated by the Col
lege. The town would then buy water
of the College for its hydrants and
