HERLS A KICK From the Fifth Ward About Fire Protection. A COMMITTEE APPOINTED By Fire Company No. 4 to Complain to the Next Meeting of Council. At a meeting of No. 4. Fire Company in the Fifth ward the other night, a com mittee was appointed to go before the city council and ask that a certain fire plug in that ward be fixed. It is claimed that no attention has beeu paid their past requests, and they want to know why protection is net given them. The following card on the subject ex plains the matter as they view it: Editor Tribune. During ths big snow last winter the fire plug at No. 4 reel house froze, and at the same time the residence of T. S. Cot ton caught on fire and burned down. When the alarm of fire was sounded the department responded promptly, made their connections at the above named plug, but failed, on account of the plug being frozen,to got water. The boys were forced to disconnect and drag the hose through the deep snow 660 feet to the next plug before they could get water. In the meantime the fire had gained such headway it was impossible to save the building, and it looked for a time as if the adj fining buildings would be swal lowed up by the flames. Since the above mentioned fire the plug has been in a wrecked condition when the hoso is connected and the water turned on. There is so much waste of water th it it is impossible to get full pressure. The matter has been reported to the water works committee of the council and to the superintendent of water works, and still it remains in the same condition. Perhaps it is all right as long as we have no fires, but if a fire should break out in that section and all burn up on account of the bad condition of the plug, the fire department will not be in fault. But in case they should be criticised, I will quote you a few lines of the city code, which read as follows: “It shall be the duty of the superin tendent of water works to have genera supervision of the engine house, engine, reservoir, pipes, hydrants, wrenches, stop gates, fire plugs, machinery, struc tures and property connected with the water works, subject always, however, to the supeivision of the jyoard of commis sioners, and t* such regulations and di- I radioes and restrictions as the board or council may from time to time prescribe. He shall attend to the sufficiency of the supp’y of water in the reservoir. He shall be required te do all repairing to the engine, boiler,(pipes, mains, etc. with the help of the assistant, as can be done consistently with his other duties. He shall b iduly sworn to diecha-ge his du ties faithfully. “He shall be required to make weekly trips of inspect! m, to notice the breaks and waste of water, arid sbail report ar y and all violations of this ordin met) as required by section 24. He shall dili gently attend to all duties and make all repairs to the rrgine, boiler, reservoir, pipes, ec., at Lis own cost.” This is a serious matter,and it is hoped that somebody will take it in hand an I attend to it once, as the weather is get ting cold and we are likely to have a fire at any time. The people pay taxes for fire protection, and feel that itis an im position on them to have to run around and report matters to city cffioials that are paid good salaries to look after them. Citizen. ai IHEY-M-C-A- A Pleasant livening at the Rooms.-The Program. Tuesday night the rooms of the Young Men’s Cbristiau association piesented a lively seme, it being the occasion of the regular monthly social meeting.
