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.
