OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. Corvallis, Dec 16, I89I. Ed. Gazette: Preliminary steps have been taken this week for the re organization or perfection of the fire department Many exempt firemen are offering their services in behalf of the city's interests in this matter, while some new members are backward and reluctant. The safety and security of n,y property against fires is a ques tion of public importance and demands the attention of the business fabric of the community. We are not enjoying the benefits of a satisfactory fire ser vice at this time. City property is in constant danger, and minor accidents could easily lead to disastrous conse quences. In the effort to perfect or ganization the city council, as a pro gressive body, should lend hearty co operation. Complaint has often arisen from prominent members of the fire department that its petitions to the council for many necessary utilities to the interests of the organization have not received just or liberal recognition at the hands of the city legislators, and the requirements of the depart ment have thus been grossly disre garded. Of course, we all know that this disregard to further public inter ests is not prompted by any improper motives on the part of the city fathers, but it does not erase the importance of the inauguration and maintenance of a first-class fire department, with all the requirements necessary to its opera tions, when called into service.
