KEMEMHER YOUR   .VEAKEST HYDRANTS
A deep snow is liable to strike ua now any day. If each member of the department will see to it that the hyd¬ rant or two near him is kept free from snow, It may do hini, or his neighbor, many dollars' worth of good before the snow clears away. It is 11 misdemean¬ or to throw snow around hydrants. Of course this is done carelessly, but that is the cayse of a great many tires- - carelessness.
'lout' lor^el. .Aftei Januaiy 1 we hnve laws that will if properly en forced, give us the rinht of way to which we are entitled. We do not want to look fur trouble, and it goes without saying that the taxpayers will not to any extent intentionally inter¬ fere with lis, but it will then he up to lis to see that those who -.vant to "beat . the fire department" do it on another street, 'imi not on the street we are traveling on. If they do it on another street, there are village laws which cover them, outside of this particular ' law.
Briefly the new law pi<ivides as fol¬ lows:
l!pon the approach oi lire apparutUB the driver of any vehicle shall immed- intely pull t<i the curb and stop.
T'lr. « ^;i. ft car shall he immedi¬ ately stojiped upon the aiifiroach of lire apparatus.
That no driver ol .hii.\ vehicle Khali attempt to jiass lire appaiatus in mo¬ tion when traveling in tin- same direc¬ tion.
That no vehicle shall he stopped within fifty leet of a hydrant within IMO feet of a lirc^, and any vehicle shall be immediately move.l from the vicin¬ ity of any hydrant in ii'.e upon ordera from H fireiniin.
That no oneexce|)t the Chief and As¬ sistants and the Suigeon shall carry signs of any description Intended to defligiiaie Miiparalus of the lire depart¬ ment.
I'hut no veliice I .M-epi ambulance and mail wagons slmll al any time be driven over lire hose and Ihey must be in actual service.
That none e.\cept liremen shall go within any lire line estahlished al any lire.
