If we can’t have water works (but we could if our citizens only thought so) then the next best thing is to buy a good water engine and put down cisterns in available places about town. This would give us effectual protection against fire. No one who is worthy the name of citizen would be opposed to the town going to a reasonable expense to put in projection. Any one that would be small enough to oppose such a measure would not deserve b» live in a well-regulated community. We don’t believe, however, that any of our citizens would be opposed to it if it came to an issue. I.et us not be a clam any longer but, like other towns of the size and importance of \\ alkerton, have suitable protection against lire, and we will soon save the cost of the-same in the saving of property and reduced rates of insmanee.
