The Inland created something. 1t built.

which won 1t well-earned supremacy

Gail had paled by now.

Wouldn't any of the railroad men
have employed this trick II they had
been shrewd enough to think of it?"

To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: Regarding the fire at the Foord-
Massey store, do not be too hard on
the Water Department AT one time
we had in City Council men who
thought the city would not grow. They
put four-inch pipe in Shipley street
about sixty years ago. 1t is still there.
The reason that No. 1 company could
not get water was this When its en-
gne went into service the water IN
the street main was all right, but
when that company shut down to take
its hose so as TO get in the rear OF
the fire another company pumping
from the main got the water and cut
the Friendship out on account OF the
vacuum created. Except in Shipley
street and part OF Orange street, we
have ample supply of water for fire
service. At every fire some one COM
plains of the lack Of water but it
should not be that way.
Cheap, red-headed matches should
never be allowed in CITY, if may
be permitted to bring up this subject
Al one time spoke 10 Il AuVihuSl VI
Council about having an ordinance
passed to prohibit the sale of such
matches. Nothing was done. The real
reason of the Foord-Massey fire gain
ing such headway was because the
man who discovered it did not strike
Box Z, at Eighth and Market streets.
The time taken to run to the police
station and then to Eighth and Orange
streets was from seven to eight min
utes. The great mistake was that the
City Hall box. No. -, was not pulled
at once, instead OF waiting for some
other box to be pulled after the po-
/ lice were notified Of the fire.
The City Hall tower bell should be
put in service again, too, even II it be
| cracked.
Considering the construction OF the
FOord-Massey building and the iniiam'
mable nature Of its contents, think
the fremen did fine piece of work.
