THE FIRE SCARE.
TO THE EDITOR, Sir,— The easiest and most evident mode of prevention of damage by fires and alleviating the existing scare, would be, whilst other means are being devised, that from the list of ratepayers a succession of assistant nightwatchmen take nightly duty. Say that in alphabetical order four of their number either personally or bysubsti tute, patrol the town, danger from incendiarism would be done away with, and that from accident reduced to a minimum by early discovery. The arrangement if come to could be ea-ily carried out by the Town Clerk giving the names of each succeeding four to the night-watchman, who would notify on the evening previons. I would suggest a public meeting.—Yours, &c., Precaution.
