| cee4-headet7, and who has the facul- 1 ty of getting the best there is out o1 1 the department, and his corps of as- 1 sis9asats are all capable hremen- During the past week there has been | half a dozen fires. but the losses were comparatively slight, mostly by smoke and water, and perhaps the loss by water Blisht have been reduced if mere confidence was placed in the ex- tinguishins power of chemicals. But in each instance the hremen were none too quick in getting at the site of the fire owing to the delay in the arrival of the horses which delay is not chargeable to the fremen. Every member of the Westerly departm ent knows that for chemicals to be effec- tive they must be used in the earlier
 stage of the fire and when this is not
 done the use of water is the only al-
 formative and it must be used in abun-
 dance to be effective. The only part
 of the fire department that is really
 open to public criticism is the horse
 service for which the fire district pays
 $45G a year.
 One Of the hose wagons has a, chem
 ical tank but that wagon cannot leave
 the house without horses and the de-
 lay practically makes the chemical fea-
 ture of the apparatus useless. This
 could be obviated by purchase of modern motor driven chemical and ground before there was any need for flooding fires with water.
 The heavy rainfall has caused the Pawcatuck river to overflow it's banks at StiIinanviIe and vicinity. Indica- tions are that there will be a serious flood, not only along the river route, but also along the many streams that empty into the Pawcatuck. It was the heaviest rainfall since 1899, and for the first forty eight hours of the storm the precipitation was 5.45 inches. many sections are flooded and people are leaving their homes taking with them their household effects, as the waters are gradually rising and it is believed will continue to rise for several hours.
 In addition to the damage along the river bank there are many washouts.< The water came down Railroad drive in such large force and quantity that 1 it washed away the canal bank and carried with it tons of gravel from l the roadbed. Already the freshet ex- eeeds that of a, year ago and will prob l ably equal some that were much more l severe and that prevailed twenty or l more years ago, before changes were | made in the level of properties along 1 he river bank.
