Huis Ml kann NATI ÉDITORIAL- SSOCIATION SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT _ Boon we hope, residents living in the communities adjoining Oottage Grov& will have opportunity to vote on the establish ment oi a rural fire protective association. And here's soim thing to think about in that connection. In the past four months, three houses that we can think of and poeaibly mon« have been «le af rofad by fire against none in th«« urban section with fine pro tection. In fact not long ago we heard a man charg«« that Uottage ,O!<S had enormous. This statement was chal lenged by a member of tho fire department, who challenged him to name a house which had been totally destroyed bv fire within the city during the past five years, despite the number of fire traps m the city limits. The challenge was not accepted. Doubtless there would still continue to be fire losses in the rural districts regardless of the kind of equipment a fin« district might have, but with the proper equipment, the losses could be cut to a surprisingly few. Failure to extinguish fires in th«« rural dMtncta is mostly due to the lack of water.
