PRECAUTION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir, —Kindly allow me through your valuable journal to point out the necessity there is for our Government to provide, and have always in readiness, a couple of fire-escapes, as they value the lives of' their officials. Should a fire break out at any time in the lower portion of those very extensive offices recently erected on the reclaimed land, it might so spread and with such rapidity as to out off all communication with those above. Most readers must remember the sad calamity at St. Louis, America, where some 125 lives were lost, and that in a country where they possess the most novel and speedy appliances lor extinguishing fires. Now, sir, an escape might be kept at each end of the building, and I am sure no one in New Zealand could begrudge the outlay that might be the means of saving the lives of many a fellow citizen.—l am, &0.,
Eaclehawe.
Glen craige, May 31.
