Of high-pressure water system in

progress from the romantic days OF
the picturesque old hand tubs. Older
folk may remember when citizens

and glazed caps and carried torches
In the front of n procession, or formed
part of the nodyguard of the gallant
old tub as II paraded the streets on n
gala occasion. Then passion for fire
fighting ran to high pitch and argu-

particular engines. Today the throbs
of a motor-driven engine are taking
the place Of those heart throbs. The
horses that might have clattcrcd from
