NEW FIRE TRUCK
GOES INTO ACTION

Yesterday afternoon an alarm of
fire was turned In and the fire truck
was called into action for the first
time, at a real fire. The blaze was
started in the coal house in the rear
OF the building occupied by William
Higgins on First street.
Some delay was caused before an
alarm was turned in, and so the fire
got a good start before the depart
meut knew of its existence. The
alarm was finally turned in by Mrs.
Charles Churchill, and was promptly
answered by the department and the
fire truck made the distance in three
minutes. 1t was not necessary to use
the power pump AS the water pres.
sure from the hydrant was sufficient.
The coal house was entirely burned
down before the fire department ar.
rived, The house itself was in flames
before help came.
The west side of the house was on
fire but was promptly smothered by
the energetic action of the tiremen.
Considerable damage was done,
which has not been adjusted.
Had the alarm been turned in more
promptly, there could have been but
little damage resulted from the blaze.
Ottawa and Seneca may feel them
selves safe from any great conilagra-
ton, as this powerful fire fighting
machine is within twenty minutes
from either city II any danger from
fire threatens either city, it would be
well to turn in a prompt call for help
from the Marseilles fire department.

Council in Session.

The city council met Monday night
and transacted routine business. Par:
of the commissioners were absent, so
the meeting was not prolonged.
Yesterday morning Mayor Kelso
Commissioner Kohl, Commissioner
Parmelee and City Engineer Irwin, ac
companied by S. X. Lewis and S. H.
Montgomery from the committee on
highways of the Greater Marseilles
club, went over Highway to deter
mine the changes to be made in the
contemplated Improvement in that
thoroughtare.
1t is proposed to cut down the hill
from the city limits on the north
down to the foot of Bond street and
to strengthen out the highway and so
far as possible to take out curves
from the street.
At the foot of the hill, below the
Hogue property, the purpose is to dis.
pense with the present two culvertS
and carry the water from the ravine
east and west on each side of tho
street instead OF running it from one
side to the other.
This is an improvement that has
been long necessary, in order to open
traffic from the north into the city.
and when the hard road along the
Ivy Way is constructed and people
come from the north to reach the hard
road this hill would left in It's present
condition, become menace to thu
city as people coming around the
sharp curves in automobiles are liza.
Bile to run into vehicles coming w.
the hill And in the night it is dit.
tCult to make the turns safely, and
the city can better afford to pay for
this Improvement than to pay for
damage that might be charged up
against the city for accidents that
would probably occur when traffiJ
grows heavier, as 1t certainly will.
