VIEWS OF PROPERTY OWNERS

a In Favor of Two Fire Stations

in the Business Center of Town.

That there should be two fire stations in Rossland seems to be the undivided opinion of some of the heaviest property owners. Were the station located on 000| Washington and Second avenue, the proposed gite, the east and west end of town would practically -be left unpro- tected. Even with a down-hill run, the volunteers would have the breath

would reach the bottom, thereby rend- ering them useless and giving the flames plenty of time to get well under way. Citizens believe that the heavy prop- erty owners, where the buildings are in a solid mass, should receive the most attention. In order to do this the sta- tions should be located centrally. Then should a fire burst forth the force could be on the spot in an instant and equelch the flames before they did serious dam- “Su for instance,” anid one tizen, “that when the fire’ started ae

QUESTION OF SEWERS

Frank Hanna Says Trail Has Difficulty Enough with Her Sewerage.

WHY TRAIL OBJECTS

JUBILEE POSTAGE STAMPS.

. Would Be Folly to Join with

Rossland in the Proposed Scheme.

Frank Hanna, of Trail was in town , and in with a representative of the Rezooun in reference to Trail joining Rossland in a sewerage system, said it would not be - | practicable to do so. That Trail would | fy have trouble enough to take care of her own offal, on account of the annual rise of the Columbia river. A _system-toac- comodate Rossland without turning her filth into the very door yards of the Trail people, would have to pass

ve |abovea great portion of their town,

to reach the river. He says it would be folly to think of joining a system from Rossland that would not accommodate the whole town of Trail, for that would necessitate two systems for Trail, which would also be out of the question. The water now is rising in the closets and cesspools at Trail, in the lower portions. It can well be immagined the state of affairs which would exist there if the sewerage from Rossland were turned into pipes low enough to accommodate Trail. Trail will evidently have enough trouble of her own and _ will doubtless

have to lay pipes down the river a con-
