Scituate's Misfortune

1t was sad day for Scituate, when the
Providence Water Supply COMMITTEE dis
covered its availability and advantages Tor
a storage reservoir. 1t has been found
necessary for other large cities to 60 back
farther in order to find suitable sites for
water supply requirements. For example,
Boston was obliged to go over SO miles
and New York, 100 miless before obtain
ing proper tracts OF land for their purpose.
1t is not only possible, but fairly easy, to
convey municipal water supply consider
able distances, 1t may seem fortunate to
the Providence tax payer, who has given
this big scheme very little attention, that
an available tract Of land has been found
within 10 miles Of the city limits. This
however. may not be the case. 1t the
Scituate location was the only one TO be
found in the state, then there would be no
room for argument and the people OF that
town would have to accept the inevitable
with the best grace possible. But 1t is lar
from sure and certain that this is the fact.
There are people, who believe that other
water sheds might be found that would
answer the purpose quite as we'll and at a
much less expense to the city OF Provi-
dence. Water sheds, where no manufact-
uripq plants would have to be put ont
commission, where no business OF merean'
tile character would be affected, where
very little good farm land would be sub
merged, where the relocation oi electric
and state roads would not be necessary,
and finally where only mere handful of
people would in any way be disturbed.
Every effort should have been made to
find such location, because the forcing
Of many people to leave homes 10 which
they have become attached, is not thing
to be lightly considered, and because the
practical destruction Of the industries OF
town ought to be only a last resort. In
the case Of Scituate, IL would seem that the
location was at first selected and then
every effort made to prove II the only Mt
and proper place to stage this big munich
pal enterprise.

the alleged existence of open bootleg
ging, prostitution and gambling in the
city was voiced recently by Mayor A. A..
Smith in the heat OF squabblc be-
tween the mayor and Councilman John
Dineen. brought on by peremptGry
orders issued by the mayor to hotels
to cease law violations. Later the
mayor and Councilman Dineen declared
there had been no real differences be-
tween them, and the mayor said he had
been misquoted with regard to police
conditions.
One phase Of the squabble developed
,ut of alleged hints by Patrolman ed
Becker that II given "A free hand in
making raids he could produce better
results Chief Pierce has contended
that all his subordinates are expected
to act against law violators, and that
they are not hampered by 'winking'
policy on the part of their superiors.

Marshall Roe.

Des Moines, Feb. 17.-Iowa suffered
a fire loss of $5,S5S.9S5 in 1914, accord
ing to the annual report issued yester-
day by Q. o. Roe, state fire marshal.
This shows decrease of $433.66O COM
pared with the losses in 1913.
Seventy one deaths occurred as the
direct result of fires last year. OF this
number thirty-one were women and
twenty were children. Gasolene and
coal oil were responsible for the death
of thirty-one persons. Eight children
were fatally burned as a result of play
ing with matches, or being in close
proximity of bonfires. the report shows.
Thirty fire bugs were arrested by the
marshal in 1914; six were sentenced to
terms in the penitentiary; two were
given Jail sentences: two were paroled:
two We're sent to the state reformatory:
four were sent to- the insane asylum,
and fourteen indictments are pending
4,296 Fires in State.
There were 1926 fires in the state last
year in which $25,S40,499 worth of
property was endangered. The big
fires were Waterloo. Jan. 26. 1914. $751;

The following recommendations for
legislation are made by Mr.. Roe in his
report:
Provision for inspection, both state
and local, of electric wiring.
A gasoline storage law or a law
making it mandatory upon municipali-
ties to make provision by ordinance for
such storage.
Standardization of chimneys and
nues in cities and towns.
A law regulating moving picture
shows, specifying the construction of
the booth, the number of exits, width
Of aisles. seating, etc.
Inspection System Needed
Provision for inspection Of gasoline
and carbide lighting systems.
A law requiring county superintend-
ents to report to the department of
public instruction the compliance or
noncompliance. upon the part Of teach
ers in the public schools with the law
requiring instruction in the causes and
dangers of fire.
"A law prescribing INC OutleS sinQ
responsibilities of telephone companies
and operators in the matter of receiving
and promptly turning IL fire alarms
A law prohibiting the leasing Of a
building as human habitation unless
it measures up to certain standard
both as respects sanitation and safety
from fire.
In concluding the state fire marshal
says that as the fire loss in Iowa last
year was reduced $433.000, while the
general fire loss of United States and
Canada increased $10.000,000 during the
same period of time, he feels that Iowa
has made somewhat of an improve
