President Frank Hail of the Civic
club expressed the view at the
meeting that the town should take
steps to put in water mains and hy­
drants of a sufficient size to meet
demands of the insurance companies.
He said the insurance companies
would not reduce rates unless the
standards are met.
The club voted, however, to take
advantage of Mr. Meyer’s offer, and
President Hall appointed James A.
Merrill, of MeniU's Barbeque. to
interview property owners and learn
how much money can be raised to­
ward defray ing cost of buying ami
placing the hydrants. Mr. Merrill
started the ball rolling by offering
to put in a hydrant near his own
property. Cither property owners will
lie invited to accept responsibility of
placing on or more hydrants.
