That Is Ike * ‘ ‘ give aid wttk additions! protection It kas its start. Seam of oar older oMaaaa recall well the experience the lepra had whoa the opera house block burned back in ,1887, WHh oaljr the haad engine available, there were no less than a deeas roofs on fire at one time that fateful night. At least three aqueree In the center of town were saved only by the ' arrival of the Xenia department by special Pennsylvania t. After the smoke had cleared away and the blackened stood as a sentinel public sentiment crystalixed and modem steamer waa purchased. It hat served its purpose during the past fifty yean, Belle Center, Logan county, suffered a $70,000 fire Sunday morning nearly wiping out much of the business section. Four yean ago the town had a $40,000 fire in the business section. It is welt to keep alt this in mind—no town or city is absolutely safe against fire, - We have our municipal water system and it has justified the investment from the fire standpoint on several occasions hut it alone cannot cope with an unusual fire* such as one fan­ ned by high wind, with adjoining property at stake. The cost of insurance makes it impossible for anything like full coverage against loss. This atone is proof that municipalities must keep fire department up-to-date to give property owners all the pro­ tection possible. A forty thousand dollar fire would pay for fire equipmentmany times in any town, .Waiting until the horse is stolen or a forty thousand dollar fire loss is a poor policy, Cedarville deserves more and better fire protection than what we have at present. Buies of the insurance companies and the rating bureau require additions pressure thanwhat is possible from a water supply tank. Plac­ ing three or four lines of hosegreatly reduces the-pressure and . would not give the second or third floor buildings, such as the . opera house, church, school or college theprotection necessary. The condition and amount of fire equipment has much to do with insurancerates. It is much cheaper to provide fire protec­ tion than to continue to pile up high insurance rates year after -•year* -./■/ .f r ’ - , ‘ -v ■' It is our conclusion that village authorities as well as ai citizens profit by not'only our experiences of the past but what othertowns have suffered recently. We need more modem fire equipment and such a report wilt no doubt he reflected'When the Inspector of the rating bureau makes his annual inspection not only of ourprepent fire equipment but the condition of busi­ ness property as fire hazzards may exist.. •- *. HOW WPA IS WRECKING LARGE AND SMALL TOWNS Yellow Springs faces a <vepy unusual situation in the con­ structionof a sewerage disposal plant with the aid of the New Deal WPA. The plans were approved by state officials and also by WFA officials. Bather than have the water from the plant run through Glen Helen‘Park, Hugh T. Birch,, wealthy citizen gave the village $8,000 to take the water to the Miami river. - ' ’ ' ■ - Hie village council also experienced a damage suit over right of way and a jury verdict of $1,200 had to be added to. the cost of the plant and paid from village funds. Some days ago the WFA backed out of its contract with the village on the -grounds the disposal plant should have beennearer the village. The sewerage plant in its present location is nearly completed. To make the change the village must raise $5,000 and this does not seeth possible at this time. Yellow Springs is not the only town in this vicinity that has had bitter experience with WFA, Last week Warren county offelate, representatives of the State Board of Health and Waynesville offcials held a conference as to how the sewerage problem can be completed for that village, It is salt the village will need another $5,000 to meet WPA require* meats., ,J The local board of education bad anything but a pleasant experience with WFA in the erection of the Agricultural schoo building. Of all the dumb things that could he imagined hap pened with the WFA on this building..After the'walls had been started some one discovered there must he a heating plant. A basement then had to be excavated. After more of the Walls iwete up changes were made in the windows and the walls had to be tom down. A real program of waste but nothing more than wbat Yellow Springs and Waynesville have experienced, Locally the agricultural building cost nearly twice as much as any responsible contractor would have bid. The relief problem Inmost cities is due to the fact that WPA problemshave wreck­ ed moat Ohio cities financially. **e so wicked with religion, what would they be without iL—“Franklin. mis" A farm pttbfcttioti baa roiae# ill* tjUSaUMi M to wlMrthvf ia * »f thing- that cm justify on# farmer trying to aeit hi* neighbor a crop *#- Cnrtion plan, when the second farmer ’knew* the first an a j»U government agent has had the wo«U placed la hi* mouth and that a pay check will fel lour, la other word* the publication might just a* well go back to the Jftbtent question, ''Am I My Brother'* Keeper?” A Clark county real eaUte agent, one who haa purchased and mold many farms in hi* time and one who has merely been the agent in selling farms and town property over a period of 33 year*, inform* us that farm land in Clark county and surrounding counties, has dropped from $26 to $35 an acre due to the crop reduction plan.
