To the Editor of the Ulobi
Sin, -'tour article of last uiglil touches upon a most important subject. The fact of large quantities of explosive material \'V : stowed in inflammable wooden houses is shameful. Thanks to our fire brigade, tires are pretty promptly extinguished in the town, but still they do happen, and one might break out in a house in which the proprietor had got a large quantity of gunpowder. In this case the consequences would be very tenable to the crowd that invariably gathers when the lire bell rings. The police know, as well as you or i, Sir, where they jould place their hands on 2 ewt, or thereabouts, of gunpowder, in a house situated in one of our principal streets. Is it their duty to inform against, or take proceedings, against the proprietor? ii' it is, why don't they do it'.' \ ours, (xc, SAFETY, < 'linstvlmrclij December 23rd,
