Fire Service and Fire-watching "Since the last meeting, an inspection of this district has been made by Mr. A. F. Wilson, of London, who has been engaged by the Government to report on the organisation of the fire service and fire-watching," reported the E.P.S. Controller for Palmerston North (Mr. C. V. Day) to a meeting of the general committee last night. "Mr. Wilson was particularly Interested in the static water that is available in this city in the event of a breakdown of the water supply, and his observations will doubtless be contained in his official report to the Government. It Is, however, interesting to note that, by the utilisation of the water contained in the lakelet in the Square, the Municipal Baths, Boys* High School, Central School and the possible addition of Edward’s old baths, over half-a-million gallons of water would be available for flre-flghtlng purposes in the vulnerable area of the city."
