ject now, for we hare not had a "ire" for ni, r ,
than a year. We reply, now is the time to prep:il,
for such disastrous affairs. For forty years n ot 4
single dwelling in this town was consumed by fir,.
until the summer of '6l, when in less than lair a n
hour two residences and-a large foundry were wrapt
in flames and completely destroyed. This did n ot
tend along; but was follosteil by other fires. A nd
yet, with all. these warnings, there is not e ;„ I
class fire engine In the town, and hardly one that; ,
Oa c s&n time of ftrp.„ The "Rescue" migh t
possibly be made to do something, but the •• Alert"
is at present, iiiltugethertout: ifi fis; and would not
"be worth a button" to-be used in time of a fire.—
Would it not be well to dispose of -both engines, and
get better. Is it not necessary for the town to bar e
a new, or, if not a new, at least a good engine with
hotliman&whateverelse it takes to make 1 P. complet e
tire splutrards. --But if non* of these things Ate
done,- therr, by all Means, repair the old ones. Let
this mattertbentudisd 'over by every property-hold.
