The cold westher lequiring more than usual strninlng of the capacity of furnaces and other heating facilities, has adli dangers, and the deep snows ha-e obstructed f.re departments in their e fi Vol 1 v res. A large number of these fires arc $reveptahle. More rare should be used, aiid I urge upon all citiz-ns the following precaution: 1. Have a sufficient number of water bariels and fire bucket or other form of flre ctC ingu ishers ready for immediate us in au buildings use,) for manufacturing, saie or storage 2. To provide adequate watchman service in all bu'.Mitigs until the present crisis is past. 3. To acerlai!i the lo at'on of the nearest fire alarm box as, and to s'udy the directions for s:id:ng in alarms. . To observe special care with mafehe. lights, heaters, and all other forms of fire hazards. 3. To have all waste paper, packing material and other combustible rubbish in meptal eontainets or.d removed from building daily, and to keep basemen's and cellars perfectly clean. t. To look after the electric wiring and pee that it is in safe and perfect condition. T. To see that :i furnaces and flues ate safe and free from defects. X. To rail upon city fire department to make careful inspections of such plants at regular intervals for the purpose of securing expert advice on fire hazards, and familiarizing firemen with conditions in case of fire. The present situation ts one demanding instant action and I ,ik that citizens lose no time in placii.g into immediate effect all of the rules suggested above for the safeguarding of resources from destruction by fire.
