 He cites a few, such al Kaiser wil- helm street, a Koenig, a Friedrich, Karl, Prince Louis Ferdinand, Prince and Princess street.

The fire commissioners who have been endeavoring to have the water mains extended into the Naugatuck gardens in order that that section might be equipped with hydrants to afford better fire protection. have been advised by the Water company that it would be impossible to do this at present. Their reason is that in crossing the railroad tracks, the pipes would be exposed and without a re- turn pipe for circulation, it would freeze and they cannot see their way clear to install the two lines at this time. In the meantime F chemical tanks have been ordered, and will be distributed about this section for i'm mediate use in case of fire. This is the pest that can be done for the. time be- ing.
