The result was that Superintendent
Dowcll, who was one OF the most

clerks desk i'm MIR. Dowclis office
that day and had tn hear all OF these
congratulations and the fire. which
was not much OF fire, discussed. Not
less than forty or fifty times that day
I heard Mr.. Dowcll, and occasionally
some other gentlemen. say some thinE
like this: 'Eut for the quick and
perfect work OF the system in get
ting the fremen there so promptly
there would have been an awful con
faEration. for that new building Is
nothing but a fire trap. too hurricdly
and too quickly built. apparently
with no thought of protection or Sc
curity against fire"
Some would say that they could
not understand why the city authori-
ties allowed the builders TO put up
such handsome house in such
slip-shod way. and nearly every man
who expressed himself would wind
up with the prediction that sooner
or later. in spite of the perfect fire
alarm system. that building and al
joining property would hc the scene
VT an awful disaster, taking toll in
human life and limb as we'll as i'm
property. And every time this
prophecy was made MIR. Dowell or
some one else would add: Such
would have been the case last night
but for the good work OF the new
system. but il will come some time.
unless that building is pulled down
and properly built" Those men were
not inspired prophets. They just had
little common sense about building.

are gotten out OF the way i'm time.
AS committee meetings. are still COM
Ing thick and fast. II will not DC
