RURAL HIGH SCHOOL HAS
NO FIRE PROTECTION.


Waggoner, representing the schoo
board. called attention to the fac
that the building was practically out
side OF any help from the Meridian
fire company, and asked that the sit
uation be remedied. The neares
hydrant is at the Pfaffle corner, 1
little over 1000 feet away and as tn.
department has just that o
hose IL Is realized that Ii woult
scarcely reach the building and
would be useless.
II Is planned TO put a hydrant neal
the Tolleth corner on State street
Mr.. Waggoner also state dthat the
district, with the town, should place
the small! pipe furnishing drinking
water and for flushing closets) az a
greater depth In the ground, so thai
a repetition of this winters exper
fence would be impossible in the
future. Twice the pipes have frozen
and $40 each time has been paid to
have them thawed out by electricity.
Mr.. Waggoner's suggestions are
wise and were very favorably re-
ceived by the board and there is no
question but that something Will be
done at once, both for fire protect
ion and changing the small pipes so
they will be below the frost line.
The building owned by F. A.
Nourse and occupied by w. d. Hood

was In the north limits of Meridian
and outside of fire protection from
the village water works. The family
are quite poor. lost practically
everything they had. Citizens i'm
mediately responded with relief sup
plies and the family have beer lit
swamped with all manner of
clothing. Those who have been
prominent in getting supplies wish It
understood that there is plenty and
spare to supply the needs of the
family for months to come. Mrs.
Hood wishes the Times to thank the
people for their generosity.
