Menace

then henceforth will be without fire.
works and the resulting dangers if a
resolution adopted by the Merchant 5
association last week is favorably
acted upon by the city council.
The fate of Spencer, Iowa, bust
ness houses, many of which were
destroyed a few weeks ago by a con-
fagration laid to celebration ex-
plosives was cited by sponsors of the
resolution.
Spencer, it was pointed out, pass
ed ordinances against the sale of
fireworks after the big loss. It was
urged that Redwood Falls take the
step at a more appropriate time
before such fire visits here.
The resolution was voted upon and
passed unanimously although there
were several merchants in the group
who sold explosives before the
Fourth. When called upon for opin-
ions, they declared themselves will
ing to sacrifice the small profit for
the protection.
The resolution as passed would
curtail the use of explosives in
prescribed areas, presumably the
downtown district, although several
speakers urged the city limits as the
boundary Of the restricted area both
on sale and use.

Ed Hermann, one of the proprie-
tors of Hermann Bros. garage, was
severely burned about the left arm
and legs as gasoline on his arms and
clothes ignited when he struck a
match to light a cigar shortly after
midnight Thursday, July 9. Mr.. Her
man was alone in the garage at the
time and saved himself from more
serious injury by tearing his clothing
from his body.
AS time for closing the garage ap-
preached Mr.. Herman washed his
hands in gasoline to remove the ex-
cess grease from them before going
home. Following this he went about
his tasks of closing and locking the
garage and turning off all but the
night lights.
With the garage closed for the
night he stopped to strike a match
and the gas that had accumulated on
his arms and hands was ignited, first
on one hand and then on the other.

by thrusting his hands under his
armpits his shirt and then his trous-

BY BARBED WIRE

A committee OF nve men was ap-
pointed by w. G. Weldon, president
of the club, to present the resolution
at the city council meeting which
will be called soon by DR.. w. A.
Brand, mayor. The committee men,
bers are A. C. Burmeister, president;
H. P. Sanders, L. R. Ewart, w. S.
Brammer and B. H. Clark.
The fate Of Spencer, Iowa, a city
which recently was stripped Of its
business district by fire which the
department was unable to control be-
cause Of depleted water supply, was
frequently referred to during the
meeting.
Several speakers mentioned that
the Redwood Falls water supply was
very nearly exhausted last winter
when the Palace store fire was final
ly put out and expressed the opinion
that the city's business center might
have been wiped out had high wind
famed the flames.
A. G. Burmeister advised the sink
ing of one or more reservoirs, as
they are needed, to a point below the
level of the lake to avoid double
pumping. Another plan suggested
was a surface reservoir to be used
only in cases of emergency.
According to figures advanced at
the meeting, Redwood Falls has fire.
quently been in q precarious position
during recent hot days when the
amount of water consumed in the city
has exceeded the gallonage furnish
ed by springs feeding the reservoir.
Several times the city would have
been unable to hight fire of any
proportions, had one broken out, city
officials said.
The recent defeat of bond issues
for a water softener and reservoir
was mentioned and credited to lack
of knowledge on the part of the pub
lie of the need Of supply.
Because the business houses are
closely grouped in the downtown dis
trict, it was pointed out that the Sec
ton is in greater danger than other
parts of town and business men were
urged to support the council in any
move it may make to supply protec-
ton.
Cost estimates were indefinite and
ran from less than $4,000 on some of
the plans suggested to nearly $4,000
on others. Rates on fire insurance
may go down when protection is
ample, it was said. The opinion
was advanced that the council is en-
powered to act on the matter with
out resorting to a popular vote.
The resolution read:
WHEREAS the city of Redwood
Falls has an inadequate water sup
ply which precludes ample protec-
ton against fire, and places our
homes and business houses in con-
slant jeopardy as well as the lives of
those who fight our fires;
THEREFORE BE 1T RESOLVED:
that this body of representative pro-
perty owners does request the honor
able members of our city council to
