reeve and council of pickering green river dear sir i have been reading a good deal about the village of pickering find ing it dflicult to give fire protecton to the township area in the south and we understand there have been advances made to induce the picker ing township council to contribute to the cost of a new engine now i think it should be remem bered that the village outfit is merely a chemical wagon and it usefulness is very limited arriving at a fire be fore it gets underway the blaze ight be subdued but it is not fitted to fight a blaze once spread around also if the ratepayers down at the south wish to have this protec tion then the council should set up a fire area and that district could be assessed expressly for any cost in curred in this behalf this is being done in numerous places we recall and might be the best solution in pickering unless the whole town ship can share equally in fire pro tection the north from claremont and stouffville and the south from pickering however it must be kept in mind that a mere chemcal wagon is very little value in the country what is needed is a hose outfit and an engine to force water from a well or creek yours truly
