VES VIEWS

ON OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT

WRITER TELLS OP DIFFICULTIES OF FIREMEN AND SUGGESTS HOW BEST TO REMEDY THE SAYING BETTER ALARM NEEDED Well Know Fireman Tells What He Believes Should Be Done for Better Protection---Praise for For Chief Kuhn. Plymouth, Ind. March 20, 1911.

Editor Republican Dear Sir:---In your issue of March 17, I notice an article relative to efforts of the City Council to set a reduction of insurance rates for our City. This is a very good thing, and every one should "push it along." I

note what you say further regarding the water pressure being excellent. I

presume that the pressure developed according to the figure given, must

be the tank pressure, under ordinary

conditions. Now granting that there is a pres-

,3 sur r f Til iv,mds developed at a

? 'vdrant in the business district, where

I we have the largest water main, and j that shown at the hydrant, I wonder j what would be shown at the end of

I one-half to three-quarters of a mile of the smaller water mains and with j say 1000 feet of hose run off from .A 1. 1. T1 I il. . II i!l

t uui, uvea iuc r-vj;n L ? that was here pretend to say that 50 j pounds is a good fire pressure? 1 I never saw a practical fireman who j thought so. If I remember right the j usual pressure maintained for ordinary sprinkling under the old steam jpump system used to be 40 pounds 'and many at the outskirits complained jthen of the lack of water they were fable to get. . I Again I note that you say theje 'are changes contemplated in the fire . ' 3i l 4i. a : 1 V - 1 .

effective. This is likewise a move in the right direction and should be done iis soon as pssioie not oniy inai insurance rates may be reduced but 'Jhat the property, of our citizens may pe protected properly. Now Mr. Editor I Jive only. a short distance from the Engine house and have been Where I could note the workings of (he Fire Fighters for many years and X hav recollection of only a very few imes when the men have had to wait I Ul ti4C LvL U Ll. 'Ull biivil I w i a " ires. The question comes then, Why ibe frequent delay in getting to firesf 4s I observe from my near position Vthe starting place I find that the lelay is caused by the man n'ot knowhg the location of the fire. Frequenty the phone there is out of order and jnrcliahle. Again the operators at Jie telephone station frequently do ot know where the fire is, or are too . 'xcited to tell properly, and it often lappens that the f-remen are sent to j part of the City directly away fcra the trouble. On last Sunday Rorning when the alarm of fire was jven, I personally know that three afferent persons went to the phone tid all got the same reply as to the Ication of the fire, and yet the fire en were sent directly away, from e nre. Now, Mr. Editor, this is a matter at is of really serious consequence the taxpayer and householder ot Lr City. The City government atJxnpt to have tue L-ity ciiviaea iniu Ltricts, and numbers given them, fd if the numbers were correctly ken, and if correctly counted,, and the firemen had a map of the City operly" marked so they could 6ee a glance the location of the fire, is might work all right. But, there too many "ifs" about it to make safe, and so it belongs with the .ntiqnated equipment ' that your icle mentions. 3f course, there should be a nodv for all this, and while City Wils come, -and City Councils go, firt deDartment should move on hont interruption. Our City has L very fortrjiate in that the presCbief has been retained m ouice w-t i x ! -3 . ,1 long. "6 13 a veteran, inau auu Lbering ns over many times, do not P. 1 U VyiWY v. vu -J - vte have at the head of our Detment of firemen. The ordinary ; zen would think that his judgment : to the need3 of the department jld be good and worth consideraif Over a year a go he made a resndation to the City Council, at fir request, showing what hi3 de'Itincnr most needed. If I rememcpcg SUCH au euiticu -o" - f rightly he advocated the estaDiisnit cf a suitable nre alarm system crt that the firemen would Know n.telv and instantly the location

he fire. His next recommendation ( some first class fire hose, as he 1 trow that this City does not i I I

possess a single .Toot or 1st or even 2d class hose. It is all "antiquated" and liable to burst at the critical moment. , So to an observer who has had the opportunity to study this matter closely, it seems to me that instead of searching for new departures in

the way of apparatus, now that the Water Works system is placed in such good condition, the best thin-' tor our Council to do would be to comply with the Chief's first request, and give, the fireman a system o alarm that will enable them to know where the fire is, and we need not fear but they will respond promptly to the calls. Very respectfully, , One who takes notice. WEST TOWNSHIP GRADUATES Twenty-one Out of Twenty-seven Pass Examination and Will Be Premoted On April 8.

IS PROBLEM

OF COUNCIL MAIN SERVICE NEEDED ON CENTER AND A NUMBER OF OTHERS BY MANY PEOPLE TO EXTEND 5th STREET Rather Short Session of City Council Begins To Look Forward to Opening of Spring Business. The city council on Monday night was rather a short one, but it showed that the members are looking for- ward to the important work of the spring and summer. Many people want water and it will be necessary to buy more iron mains and make extensions before the service can be rendered. Water is wanted on north Center street especially and on Nursery, Charles and Water streets. The most urgent case was that of Center street where Mr. Fred Appleman has opened a new cement fence post industry and is badly in need of water to carry it on. Councilman Swindell said that the council should care for the industries we had before we attempt to get any more, and in this he was seconded by the other members. The council will give Mr. Appleman relief in some way until a main can be put in on north Center. It is the purpose of the council to order a car load lot of iron pipe from Birmingham, Ala., where it can be bought cheapest, and then let a contract for all the new mains at once. In this way, declared Mr. Clizbe, we can get work done much cheaper. City clerk Shekes is to write for prices on car load of pipe, the contract for which must be let by bids. A petition was in for a walk on east LaPorte street in Bollman's addition. C. L. Morris proposed to sell to the city for $250 66 feet of ground to connect the two parts of Fifth street from Jefferson to Madison. Wm. English was given permission to raise his cement walk in front of his residence. Considerable discussion was had in reference to buying a new sweeping wagon. Mr. Swindell had a letter and circular from an Ohio firm which had a wagon which acted on the order of a vacuum cleaner, and was guaranteed to sweep and pick up the dirt from the streets and put it into cans thus saving the cost of hiring men to shovel the dirt into the wagons as is done now. Mr. W. F. Ormond had agreed to furnish team and driver for the wagon for $2.50 a day. Mr. Swindell said he thought the new wagon would save much to the city if it worked as it was said to. Our streets could be kept much cleaner than now and at a less cost. It was finally decided to write the company and if they would agree to send a wagon on trial, letting the city purchase it if it worked all right. On this basis it is probable that the council will order a wagon. Councilman Clizbe occupied the Mayor's chair for the session. Canadian Pacific Railway Company's Lands In Alberta, for Sale.

If This Town SHOULD Vote; Wet. (Elkhart Review) If Elkhart SHOULD vote wet, there will be not only the open saloons established in buildings, but it will be possible to operate what will practically be SALOONS ON WHEELS, TO CART INTOXICANTS ABOUr THE CITY like potatoes. The National Model License league's law, adopted by the Indiana legislature, makes this possible. I In addition to many other advantages which it gives saloon men never before enjoyed under an Indiana etattjte, it proyides that where a city or township goes wet, wholesale dealers or manufacturers may apply for and obtain a license to peddle liquors to families, consumers or customers in that city or township as an incident to their wholesale business. And a remonstrance against euch business can NOT be based on immorality, unfitness, drunkenness or any other ground except that the applicant is not a wholesaler or manufacturer of - liquors. ' Under this provision any person, no matter how immoral, how low, how big a thug, could come into this city if it goes wet, go into the bottling business and eell bottled beer at wholesale to saloons and get a license to peddle about our streets, without reference to his morality, his sobriety, his fitness or anything else save as to the question as to whether or not he is a- wholesaler.
