WOULD EXTEND
FIRE LIMITS
CHIEF SLOAN SAYS MANY BIG
BUILDINGS ARE NOW OUTSIDE
THE DISTRICT.

Fire Chief Charles Sloan will soon
recommendI to the city council the ex-
tension Of the fire limits in Ottumwa.
He has already preached the subject
to members of the council and will
probably make the suggestion to the
body In the regular form next week.
He has not definitely decided upon the
extent to which he would have the lin
its extended but said today that 1t
would greatly increase the present dis
trict.
The Present Limits.
The object of extending the fire linn
its according to the chief Is to take In
much of the larger wooden single
rooted structures that at present are
outside. the district Axed by the coun-
Gil some years ago as fire limits. These
as an east boundary to the alley be-
tween Main and Second streets and
thence west to Union where 1t goes
north to Second street and west to
Green. Another turn north goes to the
center OF Fourth street and west to
Washington where it turns south to
Second and west to Wapello. thence
south to the race.
Take In Big Buildings.
There are a number Of churches and
schools as well as large residences that
are just outside the present fire limits
and these would be included within the
district by Chief Sloan. His proposed
plan would extend the bounds on the
east. west and north as follows:
Beginning at the river and running
north on Birch to Fourth, thence west
to Jefferson where turn north would
be made to Sixth. West to Green and
north to East Court where turn south
to Sixth street would be made and
thence west again to Washington.
South on Washington to Fifth and
west to Wapello, south to Fourth and
west to Mclean when the western
boundary would be established running
from Fourth street to the race along
Mclean street.
Change Not Compulsory.
Chief Sloan says that In the event
the council accepts the suggestion, he
does not contemplate having the build
ings not now conforming to the fire
regulations changed, but that when al
terations are being made in the fu-
ture, wooden shingles would be sub
stituted by slate or asbestos and other
changes required would then be made
that did not necessitate disturbing
buildings that are not undergoing some
repair or alteration. He says the idea
is not to force an expense on the prop
erty owner, but to have, tho changes
made when practicable and thus in
sure greater safety from fire loss.

"B-but I've just had good meal. "

Billy Woodchuck thought that was
very kind. So down he went toward
