A canvass of the business men finds them very much in favor of having the city team and teamster near the fire engine house, so they will be handy in case of fire. The matter will probably be presented to the city council by the business men in an effort to induce them to make such an arrangement. The plan is to have the city team and teamster confine their work to the streets and alleys contained in the six business blocks from the river to Weston street. There is plenty of work in this district to keep the team and teamster busy in hauling off trash and sweeping the streets. The untidiness of the streets is especially noticeable since they were oiled, the oil seeming to make the trash all she more noticeable. During the Eigelsbach fire considerable loss could have "been prevented if the team had been in a location where it could have answered the alarm promptly. Today the city team has been engaged in mowing weeds on the outskirts of the city, and had an alarm sounded, it would have been necessary to unhitch the team from the mower before they could have started for the engine house, and as the team is always excitable when the alarm sounds, there might have been a runaway, in which someone might have been injured by the mower. The majority of property owners take a pride in keeping their own weeds down, and the city should not be to the expense of cutting them for those who don’t. > —•- ~ A card was received by the Republican written by Earl Reynolds Aug. 22nd. Mr. Reynolds and wife are now at Brighton, England. The mailing card contains a view of Rudyard Kipling’s house. Mr. Reynolds says: “This is Rudyard’s home. My house has his skinned a mile.
