its midst-they cannot claim it hap
pened without warning, for instead
of being a protection 1T is a CON
slant menace to u safety, which
should be guaranteed us as citizens

community, as a whole, should re-
fleet that with the municipal power
plant destroyed there would be no
adequate means of controlling fire.

you to realize the seriousness of the
